Magna cum laude, Harvard Law, Edited Harvard Law Review, clerked for Rehnquist, constitutional law prof, with 80 Supreme Court briefs and 43 oral arguments. He's more dangerous than I thought.

My reply,that you replied to,was meant to be a reply to rbrnmws reply Must've clicked wrong reply button...That Boy george was not elected.He stole,or rather had two terms stolen for him...

I do agree with what you say about Cruz,though I see little likelihood of him winning a general national election.I can't credit boy george with knowing how to tie his own shoes.At least not with a straight face.

He is very dangerous. At first I thought, oh no another crazy right-winger, but he is a very sharp con artist. I was surprised to see what a good public speaker he is. The content might sound reactionary to sane people, but his delivery and timing are excellent. The base could see him as the 2nd coming of Reagan. He is one to keep an eye on, even though he gives me the creeps.
