That’s exactly the kind of gutsy leadership that made me lean toward Ted Cruz at the beginning of this campaign season.
However, when Ted Cruz has obviously joined with these same disgusting GOP establishment Senators to gang up on Trump instead of joining Trump to gang up on the Establishment, that’s when he lost me. The lure of the Presidency apparently was too much of a temptation. I am so disappointed.
Given the choice between voting for a conservative who joins with the establishment, and a less than conservative who opposes the establishment, I would vote for Trump. We have been sold out by too many “conservative” types to fall for that again. Including George W. who at the time seemed like the most conservative guy running!
Bunk. Did you forget that this IS about winning the White House?
Only the uninformed would believe you can win the Presidential nomination with only "rebels" in your camp. If the "establishment" ran to Trump with open arms, Trump would scoop them up in a New York minute, because he wants to WIN.
Trump's fake "lying" meme destroyed any chances of Cruz and Trump joining forces because Trump wasn't smart enough to understand he would need Cruz by the end of the primary season.
Fighting about "policy" disagreements is always acceptable and leaves the "dropped out" candidate a pathway to support the winner.
When you go "slash and burn" with personal attacks....you are only "frying" your future chances, which is why Trump hasn't been able to lock in his nomination by now.
