Only a relatively small percentage of the public is really ideological in the sense of being able to define a philosophically Conservative position. Cruz is able to appeal very strongly and very motivationally to that small percentage, who are essential to field a strong Conservative electioneering team, but not sufficient in numbers to win an election at the Presidential level, without something more.
Trump, on the other hand, is able to rouse people who have strong patriotic instincts--even if most of them will not understand the strength of the purely philosophic argument. However, that does not mean that they are offended by that argument--only that it is not enough without a more general rallying of the patriotic, to control their voting decisions.
The Leftist media is going to try every trick in the book, to induce an ongoing battle to embitter the supporters of Cruz & Trump, against each other. That effort may well be their best shot at frustrating the last hope of returning America to her heritage. It is of crucial importance that we not get sucked into that effort.
Tuesday night, Trump & Cruz demonstrated that they do not want to fall into such a trap. Those who understand my point should thank the Almighty for that demonstration, and we should all act accordingly.
I agree. Its time to coalesce around the presumptive winner. It appears Trump and Cruz have some type of working agreement in place. I’m at peace with it.
