FYI, I’ve been accused of being a Cruz bot, in the worst, ugliest ways. I’ve only ever wanted the most conservative president we could have. Right now, my choices are Trump, Johnson, Stein and Clinton. Like 90%+ of Cruz’ former supporters, I find the choice absolutely clear.
When Republicans threaten to nominate a bad candidate, I can be tempted by the notion that it’s only four years, and we’re better to lose one race for four years, than to lose the having a viable alternative forever.
This is clearly not the case. It is now plain as day who the Democrats in sheep’s clothing have been (Bush, Dole, McCain, Romney), and who the simply nut jobs are (Beck). Trump has nothing but his promises and his willingness to invest his own race, but they are good promises.
Also, I’m not sure this time democracy will survive four more years of Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama-Clinton.
I respect that Cruz took a LONG time healing the horrible attacks on his marriage before he endorses Trump. If we were purely rational creatures, he should have endorsed Trump at the convention. But if someone goes after my wife as viciously as Trump did, knowing she’s emotionally fragile, I’d struggle greatly with the notion that I was being asked to “throw her under the bus” for the greater good of the nation.
That said, I am very glad that Cruz is at long last doing what’s best for the nation. Maybe he decided it’s what’s best for his long-term career. I don’t care right now. Maybe I will in four years. Today, I only care that he’s on the right side now.
My wife hates Trump personally. But she recognizes Clinton is evil and her policies are terrible. I tell her, “our nation is more important than whether Trump deserves to win as a human being.”
God bless Trump. If he is not a sincere Christian, may God convert him. I do believe that Trump is presently seeking to know what is best for America. May God continue to guide him. If he needs it, may that soft whisper in Trump’s ear become a great and loud horn.
May America never forget that we need to do God’s will first, and may all Christians ever seek first the continual renewal and conversion of America towards Christ.
Nice of you to decide to vote for Trump and ignore the vicious attacks. What was it he did to Cruz's wife, I can't remember?
Very well said. I agree 100% but could not have expressed it as well. Go Trump. Save America.
