I’ve heard your argument before.
Its been regularly used to dismiss conservative candidates for populist and moderate ones for years now.
I will never compromise again.
*****************************************
It is not possible for you to have heard my argument before because the argument could not have been made before this election cycle.
You are confusing arguments, I believe. You are thinking of the argument which says that a Republican needs to appeal to the moderates to win.
That stupid argument is not my argument. My argument is that a Republican can win only if he can smash through the leftist media narrative, the relentless propaganda, and the false framing of issues which have baffled Republicans for years on the national level.
And my argument is that Trump has shown he can do that because he has done that. And my further argument is that none of the other candidates, regardless of how wonderful, have shown any ability to do that and are destined to lose to the dreary but effective media tactics which defeat Republicans.
Or do you have an example of any other current candidate who shows an aptitude to get heard outside the media narrative?
If I did not believe Cruz could I would not be supporting him.
The democrats are in disarray. They HAVE no message. I believe now is our last chance. Cruz was solicitor general, if anyone can make a compelling argument he can.
On the other hand, Trump has been so damn vague on just about everything who knows what he believes or will do. I can easily see this race being just like the CA governors race in '02 - the last opportunity to turn things around p*ssed away because a guy with star power and no principles stepped in. So we win and no progress is made - AGAIN.
No, I am going to go with the guy that most closely matches my own beliefs.
Truthfully, I think the democrats and their media allies are gonna utterly shred him before the general rolls around.
