Sometimes you come to fork in the road and you make a choice and travel down one road. After a number of miles you realize that this is wrong road. So you turn around and walk back to the fork. America has traveled a long way down the wrong road.
Note that you are expending time and energy by still walking on the wrong road, but it is the only way back to the fork so, while it does not advance you towards your destination, it does move you back to the point where you have the opportunity to start making progress towards the destination again.
Trump is not the RIGHT road, but he is the means of walking back to the fork in the road.
Can you understand that? All the “real conservatives” assume that you can immediately stop travelling on the wrong road and make a right turn and find yourself on the right road. But there are miles of swamp in between those roads. Backtracking a ways is the only solution at this point.
A very wise man once said, when you come to a fork in the road, take it.
The most direct route is straight up the middle.
Damn the torpedoes, destroy the treasonous GOPe!!
Go, Trump, GO!!
I like and concur with your analogy. Even though Cruz is my preferred, I think we can’t get him so let’s use the many positives of the one we can get—unless the Democrats pull a rabbit out of the hat. I can’t help thinking The Despot in the WH has a trick in his bag for this election.
