Opinion Line Extra (March 9)

Ted Cruz winning Kansas is a clear repudiation of the policies of Sam Brownback and his ilk who supported Marco Rubio.


The GOP right-wing extremist politicians are once again showing off their true colors in regard to Donald Trump. It’s their way or no way. Even if the membership wants him. This all happened when we voted out the moderates.


Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is running on her “experience,” even though it is an experience of unmitigated disasters for America around the world.


The way Donald Trump whined about Megyn Kelly not being nice to him, what’s he going to do when Hillary digs her claws into him?


If history repeats itself, then Mitt Romney is probably right that Trump will lead us into another recession. The last two GOP presidents (both Bushes) did exactly that. Their administrations created the worst economic disasters since the Great Depression, including the highest unemployment and the worst stock market crashes.


To all of you Bernie Sanders lovers: Do you remember the USSR? And how did that turn out?


I thought I was watching a new TV reality show called “Dance Dads,” but it turned out it was just a Republican debate. It bore no relationship to reality whatsoever.


Those voters torn between the two potential presidential nominees should create a third party called the LOTEE Party (Lesser of Two Extreme Evils) and hope for a semblance of sanity.


I propose we use one of these GoFundMe accounts to raise sufficient dollars to buy out Gov. Sam Brownback’s contract with the people of Kansas. Spending the roughly $200,000 it would take to buy out his term would allow Kansas to get on with the work of restoring sanity to our state.


Sen. Forrest Knox said the Hesston shooting wasn’t his fault because he championed preventing private companies from banning weapons on their premises. Imagine the carnage at Excel if the police chief, upon entering, had seen two or three other people shooting. How would he have known who the gunman was?


It’s endlessly fascinating how lefties will point out the “hypocrisy” of Fox News in a heartbeat, yet maintain that ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC are not shills for the Democrats. Hilarious, really.


Fox News claims that it is “fair and balanced,” but the word “fair” is a very subjective word and can mean different things to different people. Shouldn’t the network come up with a better slogan?
