Former Trump support explains to Ted Cruz why he no longer supports Trump
Ted Cruz was talking with a former Trump supporter in Iowa who said that one of the reasons he stopped supporting Trump is because he dissed Iowans:
Sounds like Trump's lashing out at Iowans back when they put Carson at the top of the polls had an unintended effect, that some of his supporters would leave him and move on to support Ted Cruz who is now virtually tied with Trump for the top spot in Iowa.
Well I gotta say that I personally love that strategy.
Thanks Trump!
Sorry, wrong again, joyless. You’re so angry - you should chill and enjoy your fleeting moment.....come February 9th you’ll be awash in tears.
Tick, tick, tick.....it’s coming faster than you think and then what will you complain about from the sidelines?
The reporter has a condition called "anthrogryposis". This condition is a neurological disease that effects the control of involuntary muscles in the arms or legs.
From Serge’s own tweet the last time he covered Trump was in 1989 while he was with the NY Post. That would be 26 years ago and with another newspaper.
Trump sure remembered how to mimic his movements.
See post 62
That is your opinion. In reality you cannot prove Trump knew he was disabled.
It’s funny how there are thousands of people who say they saw the muzzies dancing in the streets celebrating 9-11 and the establishment says there was no evidence this happens.
Then they find 1 ex-Trump supporter who now supports Cruz and that is to be taken as gospel of a new movement.
Why am I not surprised.
The disconnect is in a refusal to face the reality that Trump's brand image as a brilliant businessman is strictly self-created through major media. He is a skilled showman, an entertainer. His vaunted business success seems self-explanatory as proof of his abilities. The ability to amass wealth and manipulate media, however, is only that.
Trump seems to flirt with the idea of mass deportations, an aggressive act to hit back at those dirty rotten job-stealing illegal leeches. It gratifies people who want to retaliate because they are angry.
Cruz openly advocates for a more sensible, if less emotionally gratifying, solution: enforce the laws that exist now. Specifically: "We know how to solve this problem, and we will end sanctuary cities, we will end welfare for people here illegally, we will end catch-and-release and we will deport criminal illegal aliens."
Ending welfare people for here illegally would go a very long way to saving America the financial and societal cost of mass deportation.
I have looked into Trump's past and found whimsical political moderate who leans left and loves government's ability to "fix" things. He comes across to me as a cocky old windbag so good at showmanship that he has the audience in his hand, laughing at his lines like they were cued.
Literally -- electing a blowhard celebrity billionaire showman to the White House. When we can elect a humble young limited government conservative with a lifelong grounding in the Constitution and law.
Rearranging deck chairs? Hardly. Choosing Trump is taking the Titanic in the first place.
Not to mention bloodshed.
Except Cruz has had the “plan,” as you put it, for a lot longer than Trump.
I suspect that whatever he says or does is because it's all he's got.
That about sums up Trump. Coulda been Ted Nugent.
What? Looks to me like you hold Trump to very little scrutiny, indeed!
By any chance, do you have a source for that? I'll look myself as well, but figured I'd ask. Trump supporters seem to believe that Cruz is advocating for leaving illegal immigrants here if they aren't criminals.
But Cruz's way doesn't make nearly as good TV.
Sorry I didn’t get back to you. We had unexpected company and I didn’t see your post until this morning.
On my way to Gander Mountain to buy a gun for my birthday.
