"The Madness Of The Malestrom!"

"From Hell's heart, I stab at thee!",'For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!",cried Captain Ahab, his bloodied harpoon digging ever deeper into the ghost white flesh of the great whale,his eyes bulging, his scarred face twisted into a hideous , rage filled grimace.And Moby Dick, , his back a scarred webwork of harpoon and cables,now plunged deep into into the wine dark depths, with Ahab,Captain of the noble Whaler Pequod, his eternal tormentor, still lashed to his back, still locked in eternal struggle,with a demon of his own creation, a demon that now took final revenge on his relentless foe, taking their war to a battlefied that Ahab could not survive, a battle 'neath the lapping waves.Yet,as the Great Whale rose again, there still remained Ahab,self-crucified, on his pale demon,a tangle of endless harpoon strikes ensnaring his now lifeless form to the living symbol of his hate, for all eternity. And yet,somehow his arm moved, unencumbered in the lapping waves, by death's grim embrace, and seemed to almost beckon the Crew of the Pequod forward, into death's malestrom. Aye,Ahab's lifeless arm didst still command his crew, to exact revenge upon Satan's Pale Demon, who had now,finally ripped and rendered Ahab, body and soul, until the twain bled into each other. And, Ahab's  loyal crew, plunged forward,into final battle, and oblivion,as the great whale made complete his revenge, his massive tail lashing in the bloody foam,rending both crew of mortal flesh, and vessel of hardened wood, until both were no more, and even the hate of Ahab , now a distant memory, consumed by the power of the White Whale,and the endless depths themselves.
Only Ishmael remained,
Only Ishmael would endure,
Using Queequeg's great oak coffin,as lifeboat and absolution from the Sins of Ahab.
Yes, call him Ishmael,
Or,here now, at this moment in time,
Call him Cruz.
His White Whale?
The Presidency of the United States.
His Ahab, that brings destruction to all around?
Donald J.Trump.
And his Oaken Tomb,that will enable him to surpass hate,
Overcome obsession,
Destroy deception,
And triumph, when all other candidates have fallen?
Conservatism.
Conservatism is the Oak Coffin of the Cruz Candidacy,the safeguard against Queequeg's premonition of impending Republican Party destruction, the life raft that will enable Cruz to endure , while all about him are swallowed by pride, obsession, hate, and vanity.
Yes, when all others have fallen ,Cruz will endure , as Ishmael before him,
For he sees how the others were destroyed,
Listened to the premonitions of Macbethian Fates,
And wisely put aside ,
All obsession,
All vanity,
All bitterness,
All hate,
And clung fiercely, relentlessly,to hos oak tomb,
To the weapon inherited from Our Founders,
The one weapon that would insure ,that while all others were swallowed in the sea of political battle,
He would endure,
And in the end, triumph.
But, that end is not yet upon us, and the battle for the Republican Nomination, led with relentless Ahab -like obsession by Trump , still rages forward unto the fateful day known as the Second Super Tuesday.
But, before that storm would rage,there was an uncommon still to the political sea,.The last debate ,held in Detroit,was an anomaly,indeed.Gone were the personal attacks or comments regarding hand dimensions, gone were the twin pronged attacks of Cruz and Rubio upon Trump,gone the daggers of these conspirators upon the would be Caesar, and turned instead to the promotion of pro conservative principles regarding national security and foreign policy, principles that must be there,for any who would dare to vie for the crown of commander in chief.
Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich, all have the experience, skill ,and mastery of the subject, and therefore all are qualified to hold the crown.
Trump, however,once again,in this the final debate,demonstrated his glaring lack of not only national security knowledge, but a basic lack of belief in conservative principles as well.
Once more , Trump soundbites substituted for knowledge.
Once more, Trump lies, deceptions,and pending lawsuits,overshadowed any discussion of Trump policy agenda.
Once again, Trump's political stance not only waivered day to day,but often from sentence to sentence as well.
But, for this debate, the venom was stilled , the rage subsided,the attacks contained, to policy related scenarios , as it should always be.
Cruz's conservative debate mastery shined.
Rubio's conservative oratory electrified again.
Kasich's fiscal conservative triumphs were once again proudly trumpeted.
And Trump, once again,confounded ,with policy vagueness business frauds, and personal gaffes.
The debate season would end, not with a bang, but a whimper , with Trump now refusing to engage in further  debate battles with his twin tormentors Cruz and Fox News Moderator Megan Kelly,debates that he instinctively knows, in the narrowing field of competition,against debate master Cruz, he cannot win.
But now,a sea of political calm stood in stark contrast,to the raging storm to come. The time for debate was over, the battle for State supremacy was once again , joined. Once again, Trump would reign supreme, winning North Carolina, Illinois, and even taking all or nothing Florida from Rubio quite handily,forcing the embattled Senator from the Citrus State to finally suspend his campaign. Ohio, however, would belong to Kasich, and Trump would win Missouri,over Cruz, only by a hairs breath of two percentage points.The Cruz campaign is already calling for a recount, and rightly so. After all, you win the nomination by delegate count, not by State victories,and every viable candidate should fight, tooth and nail, for every delegate point , as though his political life depended on it, because, it does.
Marco Rubio gave his most inspiring speech in the wake of final defeat, the regrets of a scattershot campaign strategy , no doubt,weighing heavily on his mind.But, in the end, despite strong conservative skills, Rubio simply could not overcome two major flaws that the Republican voters could not forgive,namely,his gang of eight Amnesty pact,, and his absentee Senate record. Rubio will return.His youth, talent,strong conservative values, and oratory skills, virtually assure it.
And, as for John Kasich, he will remain, no doubt,till the convention, hoping for a contested or brokered scenario that would have either the convention delegates,or Party elites,choose him, as the sane, conservative alternative to delegate leaders Trump and Cruz. The bottom line is simply this,no matter how dominant the Trump Train remains,he cannot escape his lifelong Liberal Democrat roots, that will always make him suspect to the Republican Elite.
Trump will always be perceived as a Republican Double Agent,and rightly so. He has funded Democrat campaigns, demonized President Bush as a liar, condemned Pamela Geller's attacks on Sharia ,and supported single payer government healthcare,depending on the day,and hour.Add to this a business record of deception fraud, racketeering, malfeasance, a pending lawsuit regarding his ponzi scheme con job known as Trump University,and a growing unrest at his rallies , encouraged by Trump's persistent George Wallace -like calls for physical engagement with leftist protectors and disruptors , and you have the perfect formula for political implosion.
While it is clearly the left,funded by George Soros and MoveOn.Org, ,that is behind the rally violence, there is a sneaking suspicion gaining credence within the Republican Party, that Trump is the Democrat Party's Manchurian Candidate,chosen by crossover Democrat votes in Open Republican Primaries, and promoted and protected by the liberal media , and demonized at Trump rallies, by carefully placed Soros disruptors, all to accomplish one end,to make sure Hillary has an easy Republican opponent in the general election. That easy opponent , in the past, was McCain, then Romney,and now,Trump. All three hand picked by crossover Democrat voters,in Republican Primaries where only 17% of actual Registered Republicans, have voted.
The Democrats know that Hillary would stand no chance against any real viable Republican Candidate , and the polls prove it. In Nationwide polls, Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich, all defeat Hillary quite easily.
But Trump, is another matter.
In all, I repeat,..all Nationwide polls,Trump has a 69% disapproval rating among Republican voters, and in all Nationwide polls,Trump loses to Hillary in the General Election, Badly.
Therefore, Trump will be promoted , with Democrats switching Parties, to assure his victory in most States.The press will give him 24-7 coverage,with little or no attacks on his scandals and glaring political weaknesses, and the MoveOn, Soros protestors will continue to attack Trump rallies, inspiring his followers to even more loyalty, while driving Trump's National disapproval rating, ever higher.The George Wallace Presidential campaign, all over again.
In other words,the entire Trump candidacy is nothing more than an elaborate Democrat Ponzi scheme , worthy of Trump himself,that guarantees a Trump Primary victory by Democrat deception , only to have those same Trump voters switch to Hillary in the general  election, guaranteed.
They did it with McCain.
They did it with Romney.
Both of them won the Republican nomination, by Democrat votes,
Both of them lost their Presidential bids, when those Democrats who backed them in their primaries, switched to Obama in the main election.
And that, is exactly what they will do, in the main election between Trump and Hillary ,
You can Bank on it.
The perfect plan, carried out by a Party that has long realized that it cannot win on policy or on candidate charisma, for that matter.
Hillary is a shrill ,pathological liar , who caused the death of four heroes in Benghazi.
Sanders is an aging admitted socialist, who concedes that his entitlement policies would bankrupt the nation, even further.
How then, to win?
How then, to take back the House and Senate,from the Republicans,and seize the Presidency for the third term of Obama, when the Republicans have 17 young, strong conservative Republicans, all quite capable of restoring America to it's former Reagan -Era  greatness?
Trump is the answer.
Just as McCain was.
Just as Romney was.
Trump, is the answer.
And Trump will be the Republican nominee,..by hook or by crook.
That is the plan, and so far, it's working, with Trump , in the wake of the Second Super Tuesday, now leading with 673 delegates, Cruz right behind with 410 delegates,with both Rubio at 169, and Kasich,at 143, simply out of mathematical contention. There are, however,many states still remaining to be counted,and new Trump scandals exposed, almost on a daily basis.
Is it enough to stop him?
Or will Trump , like Captain Ahab, continue on his hate fueled , obsessive quest for unilateral political power, leading his mindlessly loyal crew to final victory at the Republican Convention floor?
Or, will he fall, like Ahab, drowned in the sea of his own arrogance and deceptions, taking his obedient minions with him?
Time will tell, but this much is certain,
Wading through the malestrom of Republican Primary madness, there shall stand Cruz,
Cruz will remain and continue to fight , using his conservative skill , as Ishmael used Queequeg's coffin, to stay afloat in the center of the storm,and ultimately triumph, at the floor of the convention,
With only one weapon to recommend him,
But, it is a formidable weapon indeed,
A weapon that can overcome all hate, all obsession, all vanity,.all deception, all  anger,
All Democrat manipulations .
That weapon is conservatism. ,
And against it,nothing can stand,
Even the Ahab like, obsessive madness of the malestrom called Trump.
A Republican nominee is chosen,not only by State victories, but by delegate count.
In the end, it will not be by Republican elite manipulations that Trump is beaten, but by the actual votes of We the People,
The Delegates themselves,
That will cast their final votes,and choose their nominee on the floor, of the Republican Convention.
Without this process, there would have been,
No President Abraham Lincoln,
No Emancipation Proclamation,
No Civil Rights,
No Second Amendment rights, for all men,
No Republican Party.
President Lincoln would never have existed , to bring freedom to all Americans,without the vote of We the People, at his contested convention.
By this process, tyranny was halted, Freedom granted,
And the Republic endured.
Because the voice of Lincoln, the voice of conservatism, the voice of truth,was heard clearly,on the Republican convention floor, by those delegates, who knew that, in order to preserve the Union, the candidate from Illinois, must be our next President.
Now, it is Cruz who will survive, who will endure, who will gather delegates, and ultimately, challenge Trump on the Convention floor,to the Final Showdown, between the madness of political vanity, the lust for unilateral power,
And the Truth of Conservatism.
There can be but one outcome, if the Republic of Lincoln, is to endure,
This Ishmael must survive,
While this Ahab must sink, self crucified, by vanity , arrogance, hate, and pride,
Yet, even in the throes of delegate imposed death , will still beckon his mindlessly loyal crew on,
To riot, to rage, to self destruct,in fitting revenge,for his inevitable loss,
And, in the end, to follow him down,
Into the depths of  permanent,
Political Oblivion,...
