Perhaps too many have fallen to the PC madness and think vulgarity is it's opposite. It's not. It's another way of telling people to shut up. It does not encourage discourse and does not further knowledge or understanding. In that way, it is exactly the same as PC.
“Shut Up” is what a democrat says when they don't want to think or hear apposing views. It is not healthy to co-opt that attitude.
Trump's campaign has gone from ‘helping our voices be heard’ to full ‘shut up’ mode. It is not healthy for the conservative movement and it not healthy liberty in general.
The campaign Trump is running does not challenge the voter to think - at all. That is not good. You can beat people into submission but eventually they will rebel. And when they do, they swing in the exact opposite direction. Obama 2.0 if you will.
Cruz, if you have ever watched him speak with Code Pink or the farmer in Iowa, can speak with people and let them know why they are wrong and get them to see his point of view. I genuinely think that is a skill that is needed in this country, at this time. Back that up with solid constitutional values and the country has a chance.
I'm sure the general response from trump supporters will be a version of ‘shut up’. Have at it. I hope instead you'll read this and try and think beyond the anger and showmanship to see the destructive consequence of voting for trump.

There are those who think they have the answers, and expect us to just trust their superior knowledge. I spoke with my Congressman the other day, and all he could say was “Look what a conservative I am,” while trying to excuse his voting for TPA, and his assertion that low oil prices are a major problem. That last thing is EXTREMELY REVEALING to me, as the low prices put about $200-$300 per month back in my pocket, but HIS DONORS DON”T LIKE IT.
Cruz is my 2nd choice, but I do not think he could defeat Hillary and I do not think he would be effective if elected.
Everyone wants to take Reagan and “Bottle and sell” him as the ultimate conservative. But IT DOES NOT WORK, BECAUSE IT IGNORES THE MAN HIMSELF. In my opinion, Trump is far more like Reagan than anyone else to come along since, because he is a GREAT COMMUNICATOR, and an inspiration to many. I remember Reagan, and can assure you that many of the same criticisms leveled against Trump were used against him.
