I love Ted Cruz. I think he’s a true conservative and would make a great president. But I’m all in for Trump right now, for one overwhelming reason. Trump will owe no one in the GOP’s elite wing anything.
In 1980 when Reagan won the nomination, the GOP elites forced him to pick between GHW Bush and Gerald Ford for VP in order to get the full support of the party. Obviously Ford, being an ex-president, was not an acceptable option, so Reagan went with Bush. The result of that has been 30 years of the Bush family laying like a wet blanket on the conservative wing of the GOP, and it started with GHW Bush selling out to undo as much of what Reagan accomplished as he could, even at the cost of his own second term.
I trust Cruz. I trust Trump. I do NOT trust the GOP and unless we want a replay of the past 28 years there’s only one choice for me, and that’s the guy who can not only take over the GOP, but set the whole corrupt machine on fire. Cruz is the future, but Trump’s time is now. Let’s bury this past 28 years of crappy candidates (Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain, Romney) and take our party back.
the problem is that what gives you the idea that Trump is not just another crappy candidate? What has he done that shows he’s a conservative?
As B4ID asked yesterday:
So where are Trump’s SuperPACs promoting conservative, or even Republican, causes? Where are his Americans first policies within his companies? Where’s his assertion that all of his companies will henceforth use e-verify? Why did he feel it necessary to use foreign labor in his hotels and casinos? Where’s his “Trump Foundation for Veterans”Â?
The trumpeters are being gamed, FRiend.
