Two words you should never say unless you want a Democrat to be our next President

It’s an interesting time to be alive.  Every day, you can flip open a newspaper (or, the more modern equivalent of scrolling through a newsfeed) and see talk of an “open convention.”  While Ted Cruz has been scurrying trying to secure delegates, Donald Trump denounces him as “establishment,” and John Kasich (yes, he’s still running) says the convention will be “exciting.”

In fact, some people are envisioning a scenario where neither of our GOP candidates will be the eventual GOP nominee:

In fact, amid a presidential primary that has broken all the rules and left the GOP at loggerheads, a Ryan nomination is not only possible — it might even be probable. Ryan has already emerged triumphant from the fray of another party fracas, when his House colleagues “drafted” him to be speaker after John Boehner resigned last fall. Similarly, if Donald Trump doesn’t arrive at the GOP convention in July with half the delegates, Ryan could be “drafted” by the Republican convention to run for president — perceived by his colleagues as the only person who can beat the Democratic nominee and save the party from self-destruction.

But here’s the bottom line.  If you don’t want a Democrat to be our next nominee, you should not say “Paul Ryan” as a possible alternative to Trump or Cruz.

If neither Cruz nor Trump are the nominee, the Republican party will end in a fiery crash and a Democrat will be our next President.  In fact, “Paul Ryan” could usher in the next era of liberalism like we’ve not seen in our lifetimes or in our nation’s history.

Let’s get this out of the way: Bernie Sanders won’t be our next President, because the Democratic party is already conducting their own shenanigans to ensure his candidacy will not survive.  Hillary Clinton came out of New Hampshire with an equal number of delegates as Bernie Sanders, because of a Democratic phenomenon called “superdelegates.”  These delegates are not bound by the popular vote and are being used to throw water on Americans who are “feeling the Bern.”

Clinton, of course, deserves to be indicted.  But based upon the partisan nature of the Department of Injustice as currently staffed, I’m not holding my breath.  If – by a miracle – she is indicted, Elizabeth Warren (who has conveniently refused to endorse Hillary to date) will step in.  You might know Warren as Senator Fauxcahontas, after claiming she was part Cherokee to gain “politically-correct street cred” at Harvard when she was… quite decidedly not a Native American.  Not even close.  But that didn’t stop Massachusetts voters from selecting her to represent her in the Senate.

And either Warren or Clinton are elected, they will fill Supreme Court vacancies in a way such that the Court will transform the Constitution into something unrecognizable by our founders (even worse than it stands today).  They will turn leftist “wishes” and “wants” into “rights,” and the nation as we know it will cease to exist.  Doubt I’m telling the truth?  Remember when same sex couples couldn’t even marry?  Now,  courts have said not only can they marry, but also Christian bakers must bake their wedding cakes even if they have religious objections.

But here’s what is worse.  Much worse.

What will be left for those GOP voters who have been betrayed?

Can revolution be far behind?  Paul Ryan, pay attention.

History is not kind to politicians who ignore an engaged and enraged electorate.  Some revolutions are peaceful.  That’s what you’re seeing in your communities and online.  While I don’t endorse any candidate, I do endorse the will of the American people.

Our politicians would be wise to do the same.
