It’s very, very simple: the status quo, despite any “Conservative” label, has let us down over and over and over again. We’re DONE with it. It’s time to do something different. Kasich isn’t different. Rubio isn’t different. Cruz isn’t different. Polished, professional politicians, the lot of them Trump is different. It really is that easy.
I agree that Trump is not a conservative. But frankly I am just tired of voting for conservatives just to see them roll over and take it from the dems time after time, and then apologize for even raising the argument.
I’m ready for some pushback for once. The riff with the Pope is a perfect example. He pushed back on the Pope just like he did with that snarky Telemundo reporter early in the race.
Liberals aren’t used to that. They expect to get their way just by getting in your face. The perception is that Trump doesn’t play that game.
I don’t think I am alone in just wanting our side to hit back a little bit. IMHO the only one in the race that will do that is Trump.
You say Cruz isn’t different. Relative to the candidates the GOP has endorsed in the last 25 years, he is very different.
How so? He’s actually a conservative. (Name me one true conservative who has been nominated for the Presidency, between the end of Reagan’s tenure to this election cycle).
Be for Trump and against all others all you want, but it doesn’t compute to say that Cruz is no different from the GOPe moderate establishment types. That dog doesn’t hunt.
And Obama voters voted for "change".
Thinking works better.
