Turning Against Trump
American Thinker ^

Posted on 02/21/2016 11:42:37 AM PST by GodGunsGuts

People who pride themselves on rational thinking know there are few feelings worse than being wrong about something, especially something that they made a big noise about at the time. What helps lessen this intellectual humiliation is understanding that, given the information available at the time, the decision was a rational one at the time. The remedy for the initial error is to use the newly available information to reach a more reasoned decision.

As the campaign season goes forward, we're learning more about Donald Trump's politics and seeing his initial ebullient puckishness too often give way to self-referential arrogance and venomous hubris. Now is a good time for Trump supporters to use this new information to revisit their original conclusion about him and to realize, with no shame attached, that he's not the candidate they thought he was...

Trump won one open primary, one mixed primary and lost (came in third) the only closed primary thus far. And you Trump fans claim it’s “all over”? It’s just the beginning of this process.

I do not support Trump, and I do not appreciate my loyalty to America being questioned. I have many valid reasons why I don’t support Trump. I love this country, that is why I am a conservative and not a mindless drone for the democrats.

"Treated fairly" by der kamisar means falling at his feet and kissing his bloated backside. Have at it.

“And a negative rating of 60%...the highest negatives in the history of polling for negatives!”

And Trump is having likeability problems with one of his important New York City neighbors.

Better take a look.

Anytime a writer does not have the courage to put their name on an oped, it is not worth a milli second of my time.

“Crushing defeat” of 20 points according to all the polls the Trumptards quote as ‘Breaking News’!

there you go again with the same old crap. Someday you just might recognize that your boy Cruz has lost, although that concept is certainly lost to you. First he can't win anything, except what he boosted in Iowa, second he is ineligible and third even the church people he so endears really haven't wanted to vote for him.

Time to move on partner.

I never said that, although some other Trump fans have. I wouldn't mind seeing the GOP primary fight continue. It's good for democracy. I just hope the GOP contenders don't all end up mortally wounding each other.

Trump/Cruz
Trump/West
Trump/Bocephus

Any of those works for me, although I'll admit the last one is a long shot.

Reverend Ted needs to drop out and back Donald. Soon. Or there won’t be anything more to bargain for.

This is like the WWII Kamikaze teenage pilots fighters that didn’t know the war was over.

If only all this effort to bring down the trumpet had been used to stop the destruction of our country. You guys are so out of practice in the fighting department over at American Thinker, you should not be allowed to use the term "American" Americans are thinkers, doers, innovators, successful, winners - this is the reason we who wish to see our country survive the onslaught of obomba and the UNIparty This is the reason you will never achieve the demise of the band standing behind the TRiUMPh

For each slug fired at the man, our sounds will be heard and be assured, these are the sounds you will be dealing with throughout the campaign. We can be anything, do anything, survive anything knowing this man is there leading us to victory on no one's terms but OURS!! He is one of US. He speaks for US. Go! Trump!

When Trump wins, they will be as irrelevant as the GOPe open border flacks and any other pundit paid by them.

The unfavorability rating didn’t mean crap in NH or SC.

Cruz has started the long goodbye or if his donors back out the short goodbye.

Posting a bunch of drivel from a guy who sounds suspiciously like C Edmund Wright isn’t going to help Teddy.

But thanks for playing. :-)

I think it is a good time for the author to revisit his thought processes on the matter before he digs his hole any deeper. Crow is going be the forced diet for a lot of these self-styled wizards.

Notice he did not have the guts to show he/she/its name!
