Honest question.
Here’s an honest answer from someone (me) who would describe himself as liking Ted, but preferring Trump.
This is largely a similar comment to one I made ano another thread earlier...
I’m having trouble getting past the Cruz speeches where he rails against the Washington cartel, a position that resonated with me, and the reality I see when I look through donor reports. My disillusionment on this point started sometime in the fall-winter when the whole Club for Growth kerfufel started. I’ve never been a huge fan of CfG, so I asked the question, if they are against Trump, who are they for? I looked into the candidates and PACs who were beneficiaries of their largess.
Their attitude towards Trump concerned as much of my problem with politics is the self appointed king makers looking down their noses every four years and telling the unwashed masses for whom we may vote. This Washington Cartel, in my mind, had spoken, loudly. It is their way, or the highway. It is their sandbox, and they set the rules for the flames.
The reality I find is this - he, Ted, is funded by G/S, the Chertoff group, and the Club for Growth, among others. Adding Neil Bush to the mix this week left me flabbergasted.
If those folks are all on team Ted, I honestly can’t tell who it is that he’s actually standing against...
It’s not vitriol from me, I hope not anyway, so much as it is amazement at the Ted I see lately, the Ted I find in the financial reports, is not the Ted I thought I was getting when he announced. I thought Ted was with us in the right against the K St moneychangers, but more and more it feels like he’s just hosting a slightly different table, perhaps over in the corner somewhere, in the same hall of horrors.
Apologies for all the typos.
