Again, couldn’t agree more. What we are up against—and what we seemed incapable of surmounting pre-Trump—is a simply mind boggling level of corruption. That came home to me when I watched the GOPe STEAL the MS runoff between TEA party candidate Chris Daniel and senile GOPe fixture Thad Cochrin. The GOPe employed illegal tactics against Daniel that would make the average Dem blush. It was simply staggering.
From then on I have seen it as a life and death struggle between both Dems AND the GOPe. Unfortunately, all the ammo was on the side of the people who have spent decades consolidating money and power in D.C.
Suddenly Trump put a w e a p o n in our hands. A powerful, fully functioning w e a p o n. Now we can fight back against the GOPe juggernaut. Count me in for that.
I do really like, btw, the fact that Trump and Cruz have held mmultiple ‘secret’ meetings, and have clearly reached an accommodation. Trump never has a bad word to speak about Cruz, and the latter has been lavish in his praise of Trump. If this portends a future team effort, the Trump/Cruz juggernaut would be a thing to behold.
Bump that!
When I first read that Cruz and Trump had met behind closed doors, I knew they were striking some sort of 'deal'. Naturally, my thought was that, they had to be planning to forge a ticket for the general election with Trump at the top. I still think that's the most plausible explanation for their obvious public alliance.
I think it speaks well of Cruz' brilliance and ability to see the long game.
