At this point I believe Trump most likely will be the nominee, but the enthusiasm outside his supports will be minimal at best. I myself have written off the election as at this point I see nothing good no matter who wins.
You are probably correct. People like Trump or they don’t. But I’ve been hearing more people say that they’d rather have Trump than a sold out pol, so it might be there are those who will put their biases aside and support him.
Yeah, I think he will be too, and I hope that he is able to unite the base. He’ll need to to win, and a good leader unites, so we will see how it goes, I suppose.
I think there are to many bridges being burned. If the present posting traffic is any indication there will little or no uniting. Hard to tell people that they are complete idiots, frauds, enemies of this country and worse then ask them to back your candidate.
No bias I just don’t care for the man the way he conducts his business or the way he conducts himself, his braggadocios manner, his total demeanor is one that rankles me to my very core. Have you not refuse to associate or do business with someone you viewed as not just not your sort? If not you must have led a very sheltered life.
Cruz had over 300 pastors endorse him in, covering every county in SC. The Cruz Super PAC hired hundreds of people for the Cruz Army to go door to door. Cruz spent big on ads. Plus, SC is heavily Evangelical, which is supposed to be his demographic. I’d say that those are some pretty big advantages, but yet, he came in 3rd, didn’t win a single county, and got ZERO delegates for all of his time, effort, and expense. That has to really hurt. I’ve read that he is running low on money, and some of his big donors are reluctant to donate more since he lost so big in SC, which was supposed to be his kind of state.
Funny how people weight things. To me making fun of my religious conventions would be a far greater that someone appearing to be cheating in a contest, especially one that I wasn’t doing well in anyway. Cheat me of some money I will be mad, make fun of my Christianity and we are stepping outside.
Ah, I mean I can understand that.
I’d probably be angrier over being cheated out of money as I don’t consider myself to be a Christian. I think that Christians are better people than myself, it’s just that I have had troubles with organized religion in my life, so I have kind of gone my own way in that regard.
I don’t try and question what anyone believes, except in the case of muslims, because they are dangerous. We all come to our own thoughts on why we are here, and what awaits in the afterlife. For my own part, I know that Jesus Christ saved my life, and I love Him very much.
As far as too much bridge burning having happened, yeah, I’d agree.
But I look at it like this. Whoever wins the nomination is going to get my vote. That’s it. Even if it’s Rubio or Kasich. No way I can have Hillary Clinton or BurnMe Sanders as my president. Just no.
So whatever happened in this primary and whatever was said is going to get set aside by me and forgotten. I know what needs to be done, even if I don’t want to do it.
Cruz did. Even the night before the vote.
Patton, 75 percent of the voters were Evangelicals according to exit polls.
Trump kicked Cruz’s ass. He is finished. Move on. Code Pink did not win South Carolina for Trump.
“He needs to send Beck home, “
__________
Agree...Beck was lampooned by Drudge yesterday over the fasting comment, but Cruz was the target...
..More precisely and to this point— what were the counties Rubio lost to Cruz— because there were some, for certain...
Rubio lost no counties to Cruz. Unfortunately for him because he was defeated in all.
Rubio took three.
At least no one has used the slogan defeaTED yet.
