My feelings only get worse about Trump. A few weeks ago I was defending him. He is HS prez material. Cannot control his mouth.
You are advocating for Cruz.
This sort of sniping is not good for your candidate.
His “mouth” is what is making him *more* attractive to voters tired of mealy-mouth professional politician Boomer platitudes. Do you want old-style ‘civility’ or do you want to win and save the republic? Pick one, because the political landscape is such that you can’t have both any more.
At some point, you are going to have to get a grip, because he IS going to be the GOP nominee.
“He is HS prez material. Cannot control his mouth.”
Yep, that is probably the magic key to his success.
You have got to be a Cruz supporter to come up with something that far out in left field.
Why can’t you Cruz supporters emphasize what makes Cruz your candidate, instead of directing mindless mindless venom at Trump.
You have a right to your feelings about candidates no matter what they are. There are some things you need to think about though.
We like Cruz. He’s a good man. He is not perfect. He’s had his set of problems too.
That being said, he’s one of two men who share most of our desires for a solid platform.
The problem with Ted is that he is a straight up Conservative that is not charismatic. I don’t say that to be mean, but look at his polling numbers compared to Trump.
I can empathize with Ted, but there is a dynamic that isn’t going to change. We have to face it.
Ted does not pull across demographic lines. Trump does.
When Ted runs in the open primaries, Democrats, Independents, and Moderate Republicans won’t be voting for him. That leaves a fraction of the Republidan party that will. Even part of the Conservative base will be voting for Trump. Ted’s slice is going to be very small.
Even if Trump weren’t in the race, why would a Democrat vote for Ted? It won’t happen. Why would a Moderate Republican vote for Ted? It won’t happen. Independents generally won’t vote for Ted.
We haven’t nominated a Conservative in 32 years. The above problem for Cruz, is part of the reason why.
We haven’t had open primaries for all that 32 years. Once we did, it made it that much harder for a guy like Cruz to get the nomination.
Cruz can not win the nomination. The deck is stacked against Conservatives.
Trump is charismatic, speaks from the heart, and appeals to people across demographic lines. He supports the Reagan doctrine. He’s not hawking Leftist programs. He’s hawking Conservatism.
Talking him down only serves one purpose. It feeds the monster in the back of the room, the GOPe.
Trump is our only chance in 2016.
If it’s not him, it will be Bush, Rubio, Christie, or another Leftist Republican.
None of them will protect this nation. It will be open borders and amnesty straight up.
No thanks.
