First, you have a really oddball childish notion of "endlessly" - hell dude, it's just August of the YEAR BEFORE. It hasn't been ENDLESSLY yet. You're like "mommy are we there yet" right as the mini van backs out of the driveway.
Second - I've stated it many times...so here goes again: Several reasons: A: the nature of politics indicates that peaking early almost always comes back to haunt. It is hard to lead the whole way, and it's hard to lead early and come back and lead late B: Trump's huge personality is why he's where he is - and that's a good thing - but huge personalities generally do not wear well over time. C: His inner liberal will sneak out at some point. And then there's D, maybe - maybe he'll say something so over the top that it runs people off to some degree. So far he hasn't, but I thought his jab at Rand made him look bad, while he should have just basked in Rand's stupidity for attacking Trump.
“First, you have a really oddball childish notion of “endlessly” - hell dude, it’s just August of the YEAR BEFORE. It hasn’t been ENDLESSLY yet. You’re like “mommy are we there yet” right as the mini van backs out of the driveway.”
First:
“Endlessly” here in not be be taken literally, of course, but as a figure of speech. I would have thought that someone who fancies himself as a writer would recognize that.
Your point A - If that is true, endlessly true, then it would require a serious candidate to delay his announcement until a short time before the primaries. No one does that.
Point B - He is where he is because of the stands he takes, not his personality. I never watched his TV show, and I am not interested in his personality, other than the way he uses it to pursue his stands.
Point C - As Ann Coulter documents, immigration is the only issue. If the candidate is 99% pure conservative, as you believe your man Cruz to be, (who somehow managed to vote for the Obama agenda twice, and has previously called for more legal immigration), and is unwilling to stop it, it won’t matter how conservative he is — conservatism, and the country, are finished.
Point D - Most of us don’t like Paul, and I throughly enjoyed his jab at Paul. I got tired of Paul’s yapping. He was trying to make himself taller by stepping on Trump, as the cliche goes.
