I still don’t understand your point. So Rudy was in the uncropped version? Ok. So?
It doesn’t matter. My vote isn’t persuaded by it.
“...I would bet that Trump will steer right if elected. He is smart enough to know the wrath he will incurr if he does otherwise...”
I don’t think Trump cares what you, me or anyone else thinks. He has no reason to steer particularly right - he’s a “populist” with a strong “cult of personality” following. He can do whatever he wants, or at least he believes he can. Consider this doozy from him (yesterday?):
“... They say I have the most loyal people - did you ever see that? - where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters,” Trump said, illustrating his point by pulling his fingers into a gun shape. “Okay? It’s like incredible.” The crowd laughed and clapped, and someone in the audience shouted out love for the candidate. ...”
Obviously he’s attempting a joke, but for a joke to be funny, it needs an element of truth. What I hear him saying is that his followers are so enamored, they are blind to anything he wants to do. Or maybe that’s just his ego talking and his followers *would* wake up and rebuke him if he strays from their ideal image of him. I honestly think either situation is pretty creepy, if not dangerous.
Opinions may vary...
Trump is not. He may have been in the past, but he isn’t now.
Try to keep up and this will do Cruz no good.
He also plays golf with Rush Limbaugh.
Who else is in that picture that has been cropped off?
It really doesn’t matter.
I think I can read and comprehend what people say when they speak unlike you. And of course you did not answer the question.
Reread what I said, then read what he said, this is not hard to understand. You don’t believe him, I do. I don’t believe Ted Cruz on some things just like most of the country doesn’t believe him including most conservatives.
