It’s all over except the shouting. That is, the primary election season effectively ended last night and now the actual shouting match between Hillary and The Donald begins.

This will surely be the most entertaining election in US history, and probably the most pointless, too. After all, Hillary wants to use government to make Government Great Again. And Trump promises to use government to make America Great Again.

But government doesn’t make anything great, including itself. It is a necessary evil that always and everywhere is driven toward self-aggrandizement and mission creep by the politicians and special interest lobbies which control its operations.

What government actually does is thwart the capacity of the people to pursue their own vision of greatness by encumbering their economic lives with burdensome taxation, regulation, roadblocks to opportunity and monetary fraud while saddling their public lives with endless Nanny State impositions and encroachments upon their personal liberty.

Divisive cracks are appearing daily in the RNC and their elite
: cohorts about the Trump situation. As for Boehner declaring
: Cruz a miserable SOB, well he should surely be able to

: recognize corrupt bastards. He has had quite a lot of
: corruption himself...
: -------------------------------------------------------------

: When it comes to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, even a few months’ time
: out of Congress has done little to lessen former Speaker
: John Boehner’s contempt for his former Capitol Hill
: colleague.

: “Lucifer in the flesh,” Boehner told an audience at Stanford
: on Wednesday night, according to the Stanford Daily. “I
: have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along
: with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more
: miserable son of a bitch in my life.”

: In fact, Wednesday night was not the first occasion that
: Boehner has compared Cruz to “Lucifer,” using the epithet
: last month during a question-and-answer session with
: reporters at the Futures Industry Association conference in
: Boca Raton, Florida.

: As far as Donald Trump goes, Boehner remarked that he had
: golfed with Trump for years and that the two are “texting
: buddies.”

: On fellow Ohioan John Kasich, Boehner was magnanimous.

: The governor “requires more effort on my behalf than all my
: other friends … but he’s still my friend, and I love him,”
: Boehner said, according to the report.
