You sure make a lot of accusations about Cruznsupporters, no of which is actually true.

I was not making accusations of Ted Cruz or any of his supporters.

I watched as Barry Goldwater got ground into the dust in 1964, by a very distinctly inferior rival. As one of Goldwater’s more fervent and vocal supporters, the crushing defeat that election night left me with a lingering sense of being unable to place much faith in fellow Americans, much more swayed by emotion than by any kind of logic or reason.

Goldwater, as it turned out, was not running against LBJ, but against the ghost of John F. Kennedy, a very formidable opponent, and his message fell upon deaf ears at the time.

Ted Cruz finds himself in a similar position, the nation suffering paralysis of analysis, and again deaf to reason.

Love him or hate him, The Donald does not attempt to appeal to logic or reason, but taps in on the vast reservoir of emotion that has built up in that territory once known as “the United States of America” and is in a position to harness that vast store of potential energy to, as The Donald says, “Make America Great Again.”
