Turning Against Trump
American Thinker ^

Posted on 02/21/2016 11:42:37 AM PST by GodGunsGuts

People who pride themselves on rational thinking know there are few feelings worse than being wrong about something, especially something that they made a big noise about at the time. What helps lessen this intellectual humiliation is understanding that, given the information available at the time, the decision was a rational one at the time. The remedy for the initial error is to use the newly available information to reach a more reasoned decision.

As the campaign season goes forward, we're learning more about Donald Trump's politics and seeing his initial ebullient puckishness too often give way to self-referential arrogance and venomous hubris.

I think we know that already... at least I do.

Is there a State you expect Cruz to win other than perhaps Texas?

If not, this seems quite a fantasy.

If you don't support House Resolution 569 that claims that victims of anti-Muslim hate crimes and rhetoric have faced physical, verbal, and emotional abuse....then you are not a Christian.

I was full on for Trump until he dropped the hint that he just might break his pledge and run as an independent if he isn’t nominated. If he’s willing to do that, I can’t trust him.

LOL

Trump is every bit the candidate that we Tthought he was.
Yes he’s brash and not politically correct. And yes he has an ego, that all do, but Trump’s is born out of accomplishment and skills. We knew all of this, and we are okay with it.

Trump is still the only candidate that has correctly identified trade policies and immigration as key reasons for our high unemployment and lost of industrialization.

Trump is plenty conservative. And the two ineligible Cubans do not have the vision, the experience, or the skills to “Make America Great Again!”

With what the GOPe is doing to him I can’t blame him

The political class has threatened to sit or vote for Hilary if he is the nominee. It is the DC class you cannot trust

Well, might want to check your ears. Trump threatened to run indie if he wasn’t treated fairly by the GOP.

He’s dropping those hints because if he doesn’t keep that Ace up his sleeve, the GOPe will go into full scorched earth mode against him. I don’t think you understand how DEEPLY corrupted the GOP has become.
