New leadership sounds nice, but then I start thinking about the Republican primary voters and loose all hope.
loose — lose
I don't know where Cruz and Trump will take us, but it's going to be a bumpy ride. Personally, I think they will go a lot further than anyone expects. If not, it'll be the same old politics as usual, followed by civil disobedience or maybe a Civil War. I think most would agree this may be the last chance to get intelligent life and leadership into Washington and put this nation back on course.
As far as the primaries go. If Trump and Cruz can win over more of the the Latinos and Blacks, they might do alright. I really believe some (legal voters, not the illegal immigrants who can't vote) are listening and deciding to dump the Democrats if they can see some win-win for them. They care about the liberals hope and change but realize the core issues are not hate, race, and social injustice so much as jobs, immigration, healthcare, and national security. Yes, there are a lot of LIV to win over, but even a few could change the game.
I think Trump has done more to energized the Republican voter base than anyone expected. They showed up in large numbers at the Arizona rally to hear him and I think they liked what they heard. If they had been lining up around the block to hear any of the other candidates, especially the democratic ones, the media would have propagandized it for all it was worth.
The media is scared, and I mean very scared. They are working overtime to discredit Trump anyway they can. His style is different, he doesn't lead from behind. He's ahead of the game. The media and liberal heads are exploding trying to catch up to him. Before they can toss their dirt, he has moved on to another issue. His hit and run remarks about John McCain and Caroline Kennedy were a nice touch to keep the media off-balance.
So, I have hope Republican voters will turn out in better numbers since they have candidates like Trump and Cruz who are worthy of their vote.
