Cruz is good at the Alinsky retorts. I noticed it a long time ago and was equally disturbed by it. But Cruzers have been listening to it non-stop and have even assimilated it into their souls.
Both camps here on FR infuriate me. (Thus I figure the only appropriate result is to contribute a healthy dose of snark in both directions)
Yeah. Amazing all the smart people here that don’t get it. The big picture problem is not rocket science to anyone who is not stuck staring at one tree so long they get so cross-eyed they think the fuzzy thing they see is the whole forest.
What happened In Colorado is indefensible on any coherent, rational, ethical, or moral ground. Everyone know this. THAT is the big picture, that is the forest - and exactly why Trump is so much more popular than any other candidate. THAT is why there is a movement like we have never before seen in American politics. Trump is blowing up the status-quo Americans have HATED for so long. And Colorado gave him more ammunition in that fight for freedom from establishment elitists cramming what they want down our throats.
“Cruz told the Colorado crowd earlier that it’s easy to talk about making America great again — “you can even print that on a baseball cap” — but that the more important question is which candidate understands “the principles and values that made America great in the first place.”
Does that mean getting in bed with and wildly fornicating and fluffing every establishment elitist he can get close to?
Wow he makes me sick. To think I bought his book “A Time For Truth”. I actually believed he was “the only principled candidate in the race”. He proved how stupid I was to believe him. Six months ago no one would have believed Cruz would be where he is right now - in bed with the GOP elite.
I’ll still vote for him if he is the nominee but I’d like a refund on the book.
Alinksy tactics: I see Trump using rules 1, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 13 throughout the entire campaign. Is his use off-putting as well, or is your outrage selective?
