I used to like him and would have voted for him in November without hesitation (though he wasn’t my first or second pick). But his antics are beyond the pale. This guy needs to go. The sooner, the better.
Its time for Cruz and Kasich to get out. They have no chance.
Walker at first, and I still like him. Drifted towards Cruz and Trump. Then I really took a look at positions and leadership. Now: Only Trump.
This is Cruz and Kasich’s last gasp. After tonight they both need to be gone. Trump needs to call for them to leave everyday. I sense Kraut is on the cusp of saying it. He was not impressed with the Cruzich teamup.
Paging Zot patrol.
That was almost exactly my trajectory, too.
I started with Walker, but honestly once he got to the big show he seemed like he didn’t want to be there. It was a false start. Disappointing. He faded quickly.
I knew there were guys I could never support: Jeb, Rubio, Paul, Pataki and some others. Others I was open minded about: Dr Carson and Fiorina. Others were just duds to me, like Christie and Jindal.
Trump was a breath of fresh air and I immediately appreciated that he wanted to open the national discussion about issues the GOP didn’t want to deal with: illegal immigration, sanctuary cities, trade deals, a more agressive posture with terrorism, etc.
Cruz said all the right things. I agreed with what he said and could have voted for him, but his defects were primarily in presentation. I thought he presented himself terribly and couldn’t carry a message to the mainstream. Still, I’d vote for him.
Then it became clearer that GOP Inc didn’t want to discuss those issues and I felt they wanted us to do as we were told. They just want to do another token run, give Hillary hr eight years, and load up their 401k accounts at their safe desk jobs. No thanks. At that point, it was Trump for me.
The increasingly shrill asshattery on the part of GOP Inc and Cruz in particular alienated me even further. There’s no way I could vote for that smirking jackass. He’s desperate and has a lot of nerve insisting he’s the true outsider when he’s powwowing with Jeb and the suits at GOP Inc.
So for me, it’s Trump, Do or Die. What difference, at this point, does it make?
tia thanks in advance
“Trump and his soviet experienced operatives”
You mean like Manafort, who used to work for Ronald Reagan? Cruzlims rationalizing Calgary Ted’s failure is fun to watch.
