What’s interesting about this post is that in clearly pointing out the problem of the GOPe while disavowing the common perceived solution (Trump), this guy has unleashed the kind of blind devotion of the trumpites that gives the rest of us some real hesitation.
I’ll vote for Cruz in my primary, and I’ll vote for Trump in the general if it comes to that, because we can’t go on the way we’ve been going. I know Cruz has done things I don’t like, but I also know that Cruz has taken fire politically for trying to do things that need to be done. I know Trump has pointed out real problems (immigration, trade); I have no idea what Trump will do politically, because he has not political track record. But I do know every other “outsider” who’s captured the imagination of the disillusioned has, once in power, turned out poorly.
Perot? He was in the race, out of the race, then in the race again, in a fashion half-assed enough to do nothing other than help Bubba get the office.
Jesse Ventura? A whack job almost from the very start - Minnesota must be so proud with a legacy of him, Al Franken, the first Muslim congressman, and Marco Rubio as electoral triumphs
Arnold? Talked a good game as a “fiscal conservative, social moderate” - then turned into another squish Democrat stooge when the spit hit the fan. Now he’s endorsing Kasich - there’s a surprise.
The Donald? Who knows? - well, apparently other than the true believers who fill in the blanks with what they would do if they were the one in office, much like the Obamabots filled the gaps in that empty suit. Trump has laid out an outline of a number of key problems, but what he’ll do about them is something I’d like to have a track record on: he’s already begun to hedge on immigration, and apparently even if he assisted on the dissection of a pre-born human being that wouldn’t be enough to inspire some doubts about Planned non-Parenthood. But if the choice is Hilary, yeah, I’ll go with the hopes of those with no doubts about Trump’s suitability for the Presidency, even if I have mine.
This is why I did not vote for him in the general election. Had he stayed out, President George H.W. Bush would have won his reelection. Also please note it was the rats who forced him to renege on his "Read my lips, no new taxes" pledge. That is factual
