Presidential Politics 2016

Carly Fiorina, former Republican presidential candidate

Ted Cruz


Glenn Beck


It's a presidential election year and things get messier each election cycle. This one is a doozy. The republican party started with 17 pretty good candidates. After lots of primary elections and debates, we're down to 3: Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and John Kasich. The first 2 are really close and it looks like we're going to a contested convention since neither will earn the 1237 delegates needed to lock down the nomination. Kasich keeps going for some unknown reason. He's crazy. It's mathematically impossible for him to win the nomination and has been that way for a long time.

Anyway, Keenan and I have decided to support Cruz. We went to a rally for him in Provo a couple of weeks back. It was just before the Utah primary election, where Cruz won almost 70% of the republican vote. He wasted Trump. It's the first time in years that the Utah primary has meant anything. Usually things are decided by the time it gets to us. It was pretty great to matter. We not only matter, but we kinda turned the tide. Trump was really on a roll. Now he has lost many state primaries in a row. This is what will lead to a contested convention. I don't want Trump to be the nominee, so I hope Cruz can get it at the convention this summer. It makes for some crazy politics.
