I think the week after the Wisconsin race was worse than this past week. Trump has so far been able to weather the events.
Actually, we all thought Wisconsin was a bad week-—but it turns out it wasn’t. Trump has gained steadily in every major poll after Wisconsin. Cruz has fallen in every poll. The news of Colorado coming after Wisconsin overshadowed everything.
I think now that was a major turning point in the campaign. Ted could have come out and said “I agree with Donald that the outcome in Colorado was not optimal, and I have faith that a real election process would produce the same result. So, along with Donald, I call on the Colorado GOP to provide some means of allowing Coloradans to vote prior to the convention and the will of the voters be done.”
Now, would this happen? OF COURSE NOT. But it would have allowed St. Ted to get on the right side of the issue, without any real loss of delegates.
But nooooo. St. Ted had to greedily cling to his meaningless delegates and lose the issue.
It depends on what the meaning of "weathering" is, to mis-quote another liberal Democrat. The seeds of doubt are obviously planted, and they have more than six months to sprout before the general election.
I, for one, have no clue how Trump might govern as president. He has spoken many words that cause me concern. These include "45% import tariff", "expedite return of illegals", "raise taxes on the rich", "change platform on abortion", etc. Those words strike fear in the hearts of principled conservatives. Will he govern that way? Or, even worse, will his opponent use those words against him in the campaign, causing him to lose?
that’s just proof that the devil is the great deceiver.
