it was a matter of time before Trump started attacking Cruz. Trump is totally ego driven and must attack those who are getting in his way. I hope Cruz doesn’t lower himself to that level.
No worries. When the Republican machine and Dewhurst rolled out every vile attack they could think of against Cruz in Texas, he just stayed focused on the issues and his message and never responded in kind. He won by 14%.
“Trump is totally ego driven and must attack those who are getting in his way.”
I just wanted to read that again so I can continue weighing the pros and cons of this little factoid. There is a fine line between:
1) a man who uses an ego-driven but controlled steamroller approach against the enemy-of-the-moment, and
2) a man who uses an ego-driven but OUT-of-control steamroller approach against the enemy-of-the-moment.
IMO, our country NEEDS and MUST HAVE the #1 person right now - the Controlled Steamroller - to save the Republic. Nothing less will suffice to defeat the Islamomarxists who will destroy us. But if Trump turns out to be #2, then that is potentially a deep, dark, and dangerous place we could find ourselves in, similar to socialism just at the other end of the ideological spectrum. Would it be worth taking that chance? I know we are MUCH closer to the edge of the full-blown Socialism/Marxism cliff than we are to the polar opposite, but I dunno...
If Trump is just throwing a warning salvo against Cruz, that is one thing - we are still safely looking at Man #1. But if he ramps this up to an unnecessary level, well... That would indicate lack of control and good judgment. He will achieve nothing except to make people like me think perhaps he is Man #2. It would drive many of us towards Cruz. It is truly Trump’s call, and I am watching very closely.
In the meantime, here is a starter list for our Steamroller/Bulldozer targets! (in no particular order). Feel free to dream right along with me. :-)
Harry Reid
Nancy Pelosi and her Obamacare
John Boehner & Mitch McConnell
Orin Hatch and Trent Lott, for their previous RINO actions and lies and just for the hell of it
The EPA land-grabbers who want to control our ditches and mud puddles
The Dept of Education cronies who want to control our kids* and grandkids* minds
The UN globalists who want to control everything!
Gun control fanatics who want to obliterate the 2nd A and take our guns
Lynch, who wants to squelch our 1st A rights to speak out against Islamic extremism
ISIS and MB zealots who hate America so much they’ll steal our heads for it
Hillary the Marxist, who should’ve been jailed years ago in a cell next to Susan McDougal
China, Mexico, Japan et al, who’ve been taking us to the cleaner$ for decades
