"Whosoever Would Wear This Crown",..

The last Republican Presidential debate for the year 2015, hosted by CNN, is now part of history,and surprisingly enough, the debate moderators Wolf Blitzer, Dana Bash, and Hugh Hewitt,rose to the occasion, turning in an excellent performance , keeping the questions substinative, and the debate structure itself, fair to all the candidates.
The focal point? Foreign Policy.The most important , most critical aspect of being President. Whosoever will wear the crown, must always remember that they are, above all else,the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces,of the United States.They will control the most powerful military force in existence,a force that keeps the world from falling into chaos,..a force that, if fully unleashed,without let or hindrance,..with no moral restraint,..could level the entire surface of the earth,..in less than a week.
There is no nation on earth , no terror enemy, no dictator,no despot, no tyrant,..that could long endure in all out combat against the United States Military.Nor could any ally , for that matter,..fare much better,in all out conflict with this, the finest fighting machine ever devised by man.
The American Military is ;..
Invincible,..
Unbeatable,..
Unstoppable,..
A force of nature unto itself;..
The perfect blend of of man and machine , designed for one purpose;..to destroy any and all enemies, it encounters.
It's unbeaten record against all those that have dared to challenge it,should give pause to any pretended Islamic Terror State that seeks the destruction of the Great Satan,...America.
For this reason,..it is vital that the next man elected Commander in Chief ,must be the right man.
He must be a hard core,consistent, full blown Conservative Republican that believes unwaiveringly in the Judeo-Christian values that are foundation of our Constitution.He must have a conservative record that matches his rhetoric,a record that shows he will do exactly what he says he will do. He must support the basic principles that make America great,..tax and regulation cuts, for all Americans,..that grow our economy ,.and a strong military,that will fight an aggressive war against Islamic Terror. He must protect and defend the Second Amendment rights of the American citizens,..the right to keep and bear arms,..the right that makes all other rights possible. He must defend the Judeo-Christian values that symbolize our Nation,.while , at the same time,..defending the freedom of every American to live, work, and worship as they please. And, above all else, he must be a man of principle,who will put fear in the hearts of our enemies,..and pride in the hearts of our allies.
Before we risk World War Three on a man,We the People must make absolutely certain that he is ,beyond a shadow of a doubt,..one hundred per cent,..wholly reliable.
In truth, many of the Republican candidates would fill this bill. And, the simple fact is that every single one of them, who stood on that stage ,..would make a far better President,..than any Democrat.
But,..we are at war,..and when at war there can be no margin for error.The best man must be chosen,..if America is to survive. The man whose record proves he is ready,on day one,..to lead this Nation,..in a time of war and economic collapse.
Did this,the fourth Republican Presidential debate,the last of the year 2015,..reveal that man?In truth, they all did well. and all had their moments to shine. In fact, in the History of our Nation, there has never before been a greater assembly of strong conservative Republicans on one stage,..at the same time. Against lesser competition,..any one of them would surely win the nomination easily.
Senator Lindsay Graham , once again,..displayed his expertise on military and foreign policy issues,and gave much deserved,and long overdue praise to President Bush,..and his Anti-Terror program that kept us safe for eight years after 911.
Governor Jeb Bush, an establisment Republican candidate, who believes in tax and regulation cuts second Amendment rights, and a strong military,..was at his most aggressive,challenging  front runner Donald Trump's credentials,and giving as good as he got,..in his heated exchanges with the real estate mogul.It was perhaps Jeb's best debate performance so far.
Carly Fiorina put forth her life history,and the obstacles she had to overcome,..to become the head of Hewlitt Packard,..and, once again emphasized her experience as an advisor on national security boards,..and the political skills that ,she feels,..make her uniquely qualified to destroy Hillary Clinton.
Governor John Kasich is, in many ways, a RINO Republican,given to spending more on entitlements and soft on Amnesty issues like Bush and Rubio,..but,..he also created a prosperous state,..using the basic tax and regulation cuts that, all Republicans,..whether conservative or moderate,.. know will lead to a strong economy.
Senator Rand Paul , likewise, would make a strong economic President, and despite his glaring weakness as a committed isolationist,..who overemphasizes the dangers of intelligence overreach,..he too,..would make a good President,..if,..World War Three were not already upon us.
Governor Chris Christie had, perhaps, his best debate night as well, but,..this is hardly surprising.He is , after all ,..a former Military Prosecuting Atttorney under the Bush Administration,..and,..as such,..is quite experienced on issues of foreign policy. Despite presiding over a blue state with a weak economy,and strong anti-gun issues,..he too,..would make a President to be reckoned with ,..because he too,..understands the Conservative Republican basics,..that keep our economy strong, and our nation secure.
Dr. Ben Carson,..is a brilliant neurosurgeon ,and a strong intelligent conservative,..whose only flaws seem to be a serene, almost Yoda-like personality,..and a lack of basic foreign policy knowledge.This combined with questions raised over his biography claims ,have resulted in a slip in the polls recently,..but he still remains a viable candidate,..in the top four,..and, like all the other candidates,..he would make a fine President should he win the nomination. And,like the other candidates, he would still be a valuable asset to any Republican President's Administration , as an advisor.
But,..the question remains,..if  the polls remain as they are now,..whose Administration would he most likely be serving under?
There are two candidates who,..during the month of December,..have risen to the top of the polls,..based on their strong performances in the previous debate,..and there is one who has remained consistently in the lead,..and despite his many critics , on both the right and left,..can no longer be dismissed as an unlikely possibility.
Donald J. Trump , despite endless gaffes that would destroy a lesser candidate,..an extensive history as a liberal Democrat and anti Iraq War Bush basher,..and most recently,..an enthusiastic supporter of Russian Dictator Vladimir Putin ,of all people,..he still remains in the high 30% range in the polls,..with only Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio as close competition. In fact, barring any unforseen mishap or completely unforgivable gaffe,..it appears that these three are the most likely to be the last men standing as the Primary battle begins to tighten and narrow,in the New Year,..as the actual voting begins. This is as it should be,..for despite a vast field of talented conservative candidates,..these are the three that have shown the one quality ,..above all others,..that a President must have,..if he is to succeed;..Strong Leadership Ability.All three have the aggressive ,self -assured style that is the foundation of a good leader, and all three have,..from day one,..voiced strong opinions on the issues that must take precedence above all others ;..Foreign Policy;..and the War on Terror.
Trump saw these issues as his opening ,..his best chance,..to establish himself early on,..as the leading candidate ,..despite his glaring weaknesses;..lack of details,..lack of knowledge,..lack of experience,..lack of Conservative Republican credentials,..and a complete lack of manners, or decorum.His aggressive , no nonsense stance on illegal immigration and border security, were enough to put him in first place in the polls ,..and keep him there consistently. Despite his social issue flaws and childish bluster,..Trump has proven himself to be a master showman,..and self promoter,..who instinctively understood the one issue that was most important to the American people , and he quickly seized on it,..and made it his own.
Trump may be hated by his Republican opponents, considered a nuisance by the GOP establishment,..and a potential threat to run third party,..but he has also been invaluable to all the current candidates ,..for he has shown them how to beat the liberal press at its own game,..and most importantly,..how to win,..by simply reflecting the will of the American people. But, Trump has also shown an almost childlike need for praise,..and a Huck Finn like tendency to see just how much he can get away with.He is, after all, currently praising the Russian President Vladimir Putin,..simply because Putin bear hugged him,...and complimented him, on his campaign. Trump said he was "honored"to be praised by a murderous dictator.Interesting.Do we really want , or need a man with questionable Republican credentials,and the temperment, maturity,judgement,.and attention span of a small boy,...to be Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces?
A risky proposition , to say the least,..especially during a time of war.
However,..Senator Marco Rubio is a different matter altogether.
In many ways , he is like the Greek Hero, Achilles,who, at first glance ,..would seem to be the perfect warrior, with no flaws.
Rubio , likewise ,would seem to be the perfect Republican Presidential candidate ,..a master on the debate platform,..with a strong support for our military,..and a Bush-like aggressiveness on the issues of Radical Islam, and the War on Terror.But, like Achilles,..Rubio has a fatal flaw.Achilles was seemingly invulnerable in battle,impervious to harm,..invincible in mortal combat. Yet,..the heel of his foot was mere mortal flesh,..and if pieced there in battle by an enemy's weapon,..Achilles would be destroyed.For Marco Rubio, it is not his heel that leaves him woefully vulnerable in battle,..but his glaring weakness on the issue of illegal immigration ,..and Amnesty. This seemingly perfect conservative warrior , had ,inexplicably ,..joined the so called "Gang of Eight',..Democrats Pelosi, Reid, Schumer,..and endorsed an Amesty bill for illegal immigrants, that , if passed,..would leave our Nation burdened with a permanent , overwhelming Democrat voting base,..that could never be overcome by the Republicans.
This one weakness cannot be overlooked,..despite his otherwise impressive record. Rubio has also damaged himself more recently,..by skipping votes to campaign,..missing even the vital end of the year omnibus spending bill vote,..that has esentially funded the entire Democrat Agenda. Was this vote not important enough for Rubio?He has also attacked second place front runner Senator Ted Cruz ,..on the very same issue of Amnesty,..accusing the Texas Senator of actually supporting it,..in previous votes. Utter nonsense , of course,..and a sign of desperation on Rubio's part. Marco understands his own vulnerability on this issue,..and understands that,..in the end,..when the full records of all the candidates are finally , completely revealed,..there is only one perfect conservative candidate,..who has no weaknesses to be exploited. Senator Ted Cruz,..is that candidate.Rubio knew , that he had to find one issue he could attack him on,..if he hoped to win. He thought he found it , in Cruz's 2013 Amnesty amendment proposal, that was designed seemingly tp support the Amnesty bill, through bipartisan compromise. But, unfortunately for Rubio,..it wasn't.Cruz simply proposed the amendment to sabotage the bill,..by essentially calling the Democrat's bluff. The Amendment was a caviat,..that would prevent all immigrants made legal,..from voting in any elections. This was essentially Cruz's "poison pill" strategem,..that was designed to do nothing more than stop the bill completely,..by calling the Democrat's bluff. Cruz knew , that the Democrats had no interest in making illegals legal,..if they would be unable to vote .The strategy worked in stopping the bill,and for Rubio to use this as an opportunity to accuse Cruz of supporting Amnesty,..is a shocking example of Rubio's desperate need to stop Cruz at all costs,..by any means necessary. Rubio coupled this accusation with claims that Cruz to weaken NSA and Patriot Act surveillance,..that are vital to National Security , and an invaluable weapon in the War on Terror. Total nonsense. , and again,..a desperate attempt by a candidate who knows full well how badly he damaged himself by joining the "gang of eight' , in support of Amnesty for Illegals.
The simple truth is this;..Ted Cruz,.. mathematically speaking,..should be the man to win the Republican Nomination, for one basic reason,..he is the only Conservative Republican running ,..that has never varied , never waivered,..on any issue. Cruz has remained a constant conservative presence,..in an ever changing , moderate,..Republican Universe. Senator Ted Cruz has delivered on every single thing he promised. No other candidate can ever match that record , and Rubio, his only viable opponent other than Trump,..knows it full well. In the end,..it is Cruz , not Trump , not Rubio,..that has been consistently Anti-Amnesty from day one,..of his entire political history. Both Trump and Rubio, however,..have supported Amnesty at various times,..and very recently as well. In the end, in this Republican Presidential Contest,..there can be only one , logical choice , for the true conservative voter. The True Conservative,..the Consistent Conservative,..the One Conservative  Candidate,..whose words are backed up by his actions,..whose record matches his rhetoric,.Texas Senator Ted Cruz. In truth,..any Republican voter who calls himself  hard core conservative,..yet supports Trump , or Rubio,..or any of the other candidates, who have all supported Amnesty, at one time or another,..may indeed be strong Republicans,..but,..they cannot call themselves truly conservative. For Cruz is the one ,  the only choice,..that a true conservative could make.
Who won this,..the last debate,..of the year 2015?
It matters little,..since they have all done well, in every debate,..and all are deserving of a place in the New Republican Administration,..of the New Year.What does matter, however,..is who will wear the crown of Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, in 2016.
America's future depends on it being,..the right man.
We are at war with an enemy that seeks America's complete destruction . Political games of the past must be put aside. We must look at the records of these candidates,..and make our choice based solely,..on those records.
Ted Cruz is the one man,.with the record that proves he is ready, willing,..and able ,..to lead this nation,..and this military,..on day one of his Presidency. And, Cruz 's ever increasing poll numbers prove that the American people are beginning to realize it.
But,..should the doubts raised by Rubio be taken seriously?Is it possible, that Cruz could be weak on Amnesty and Security, as Rubio has suggested?
How can "We the People" ever be sure?
In the Gospel of John,,..Jesus was questioned by one of his followers who wondered how he could be sure that Jesus was , who he claimed to be."How do we know you are not a false prophet, sent by Satan?", the man asked. Jesus replied,"If I am not doing the work of my Father,..then do not believe in me."But,..if I am doing his work,..and you would still not believe,..then,,.believe in the work I do".
There it is, pure and simple.A man's actions,..always speak louder,..than his words.
For those who doubted Jesus,..there was only the evidence the record,..his words,..and his deeds,..Words that spoke only of peace, love,..and the brotherhood of man. Words that told us to love our enemies , and to treat our fellow man,,the way that we want to be treated. And deeds that healed the sick,..and the crippled,. deeds that fed the hungry,and the poor,..deeds that helped his fellow man,..deeds that promoted only peace and love,..deeds that changed the world,..deeds that would be celebrated,..every year,..on the day of his birth,..Christmas day.
Who could doubt this man from Galilee,..when his whole life,..and the way he lived it,..proved who he was?
A man's record , a man's actions,will always ,beyond a shadow of a doubt ,..prove who he really is.
So too, for our Republican Presidential Candidates.
So too,  for Senator Ted Cruz;..whose entire record,..his entire political history,.his words,..and his deeds,...prove who he is.
In the end, it was Senator Marco Rubio who voted for the Amnesty Bill.
It was Senator Ted Cruz,..who voted against it.
And, it was Cruz who took the time to interrupt his campaign schedule,.and.fly back to Washington,.to vote "no",on the Omnbibus spending bill, that virtually funds every Democrat Agenda, for the coming year.
Rubio,..couldn't be bothered.
Who then,.. is the one, whose work we should believe in?
