Today's Larwyn's Linx sponsored by: #ConstitutionMan: Ted Cruz for President

QOTD: "Americans who are angry and frustrated with what they see as dysfunction in Washington naturally look at the candidates to be the next president. Will they halt the abuse of office in full display today by the current administration? Will the leading Republican candidate, an egotist who puts his name in 20-foot letters above his buildings, be inclined to abide by the limitations of the original intent of the Constitution, or is he more likely to adopt a still more expansive view of executive authority than Obama?

Donald Trump, who has never worked for anyone and thus has not been accountable to anyone, prides himself on how he’s been a clever and successful independent business owner. Has anyone ever told him “no?” Can a person who has never felt the need to ask for forgiveness be held back by constraints of something as old as the Constitution? It’s unlikely, as he has cut his own path in every industry he has worked. Will he be constrained by the balance of power that lies at the heart of the Constitution’s design of the federal government?

Many who think they agree with Trump today may not do so if he takes office and begins wielding power. He has changed his position on several major issues over the years. He was pro-choice, and now he says he’s pro-life. He supported and gave money to Bill and Hillary Clinton, and now he’s criticizing them and their views. He supports the confiscation of private property by eminent domain. Someone who has no record in office is a gamble. What issues would he advocate once elected?" --Colin A. Hanna
