I don't like Cruz, I think he is a total charlatan who has stolen a lot of thunder, but for the sake of argument, lets assume he continues being the rank and file conservative choice. How should this be dealt with?
Because frankly, even though we all harbor tremendous hopes for libertarianism this cycle, it is still young. We are still fighting the baby boomers, who are mostly scared old people who clutch their Rush Limbaugh tuned radios as they hear of the world closing in. We can't outnumber them.
But lets be honest, they can't win either. Either Rubio gets nominated, in which case we are in a few more wars, and maybe the foreign policy lesson is relearnt, or Cruz wins the nom and gets destroyed, in which case the establishment will learn never to let another base candidate ever win again.
And of course Hillary could win, in which case within 4 years the Supreme Court will be truly frightening.
So, secretly, must we be Rubio fans? The Supreme Court might get an ok guy with Rubio (well, probably not, but I still like Roberts better than Ginsburg and you do too), we will fight some stupid wars, and neoconservatism will blow another wad while the youth get a little older and more libertarian. Then, we can nominate Amash?
