Your post sums up the problem with the pro-Cruz/neverTrumpers to a T. In your mind, it’s all about some slight to Trump. It would be impossible for you to be more mistaken.
The problem, from a conservative POV, is the peril the country faces. Eight years of Obama has all but finished us off. If we lose this one, we’re done. Wide open borders, mass amnesty, and a radical leftist SC for the next ~30 years will not leave anything resembling the USA of the past; all that will be gone forever.
In light of this FACT, conservatives watched the pro-Cruz/neverTrumpers with shock and fury. They were willing to sacrifice the entire country forever simply because they’d have preferred to see Trump lose. It’s almost more than a normal, rational conservative can process.
This is not some minor slight. This is giving it back to the face of the people who would so cavalierly have destroyed America. They get no more than what is coming to them.
Eight years of Obama HAVE all but finished us off.
I’m blaming auto correct.
You need to stop viewing everything through the prism of your desire to punish everyone who doesn’t like Trump as much you. Why in the world would you imagine that ordinary voters share your delusions?
People in KS tell me, this primary, not a damn thing to do with Trump. It was a jihad against conservatives, several conservative state legislators were also defeated. Terrible terrible news.
