No, it’s my own analysis based on what I know of history. You’re looking for a strong man to save us, and that rarely turns out well.

“I’m sure you would prefer the man who saved Rome, but destroyed the republic, which is exactly what Trump would do to America.”

If we’re being historically honest, the Republic was long-dead by the time Caesar crossed the Rubicon. Sulla’s actions a generation prior had helped that demise, as did the Senate’s inbred corruption and it was despised by the general public, exactly like today.

Caesar was loved by the “voters” and despised by the thoroughly-corrupt, “1%” Senate. Just like Trump today.

I don’t see any of these candidates leading an army into battle and fighting on the front lines, much less being a strategic genius, do you?

A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for a fraud, a hypocrite, a con man, a scam artist, and a lowlife loser.

If Trump is a lock to win then how is our vote for him not a wasted vote too? Should we just stay at home in order to not waste our vote?

Ted Cruz......100-1000 folks attend his political events

Suggest you look at the Fort Worth Convention Center at 12:00 PM to see what a real political rally looks like.

These candidates? no, but one never knows where a radical leader will emerge willing to violently complete the destruction of the republic begun by politicians, and advanced by Trump.

“But Cruz is not who you think he is. It is a great ruse.”

Trump is not who you think he is, or, more importantly, what you imagine you want him to be.

Trump’s done nothing to harm America and sure as hell can only be an improvement over the Muslim terrorist lover in the WH now.

I admit, it used to bug me that some folks on FR were often such “purists”. If a candidate didn’t get 100% on the Heritage Action scorecard, forget it.

Now those conservative scorecards are laughed at and impugned. Issues don’t seem to matter a whit.

I can’t figure out what happened and how it happened so quickly.

That’s damning Trump with faint praise.

No it isn’t. Just because your guy doesn’t win doesn’t mean your vote was wasted. Just means there weren’t enough of you to help him win. The “wasted” vote argument is only used by the pathetic who think their candidate might not win, ie those who are wasting air.

Coincidence?
A Halfer, 3 year Senator, always a Politician “working for the People?.
Why would we want another ZERO, in either Senator still barking?

Trump does very well with high IQ people like himself.

Actually he has. He has his brand name stuff made overseas, rather than have American workers make it. He doesn’t put his money where his mouth is.

Agree. Cruz would make the best president out of the remaining candidates. It’s not even close. Rubio is all-in for amnesty and open borders. Trump is a human roulette wheel regarding policy and appointments. No one knows what he’ll do, not even himself.
