The Cruz/Rush/National Review strategy - (vanity post)

Posted on 05/03/2016 9:35:40 AM PDT by Ge0ffrey

I think that I now understand that Cruz and Rush and even the National Review have all been on the same page with a strategy that is about to fail. Let Trump knock out all the other candidates and then Cruz can knock out Trump. It might have worked if Cruz had been more likable but he's Godawful. I've had reservations about Trump from the beginning, but if Phyllis Schlafly's on board, so am I. If Trump morphs into some kind of typical liberal after he becomes president, we'll fire him

You are so right.

Rush is on right now criticizing the Trump supporter who confronted Cruz and poor poor Cruz. Just said the Trump supporter was no different than a code pink organizer!

So much new and important here. Maybe you should have broken this into 3 or 4 separate vanities so we could analyze each of your little brain farts individually.

LOL, Trump is likeable??? I have tried to be open minded about him, but he, like his wacko, foul-mouthed supporters, is a jackass.

Simple opinions for simple minds.

Perhaps you've missed the fact that Trump has more votes than any Republican in recent history...

But hey, you don't need to jump on the Trump Train, you can join Lyin' Ted going backwards on the wrong side of the road...and history

This was also Mark Levin’s strategy.

Cruz confronted the Trump supporter. That was dumb.

The pundit class (which includes Rush, Levin, National Review, etc) has a symbiotic relationship with the political class. Doing everything in their power to prolong the stagnant turmoil of the status quo makes perfect sense to them.

There was something strange about the young man who 'confronted' Cruz... he kept mirroring Cruz's reactions... I'd say there's an even chance he was a paid shill... stationed TO give Cruz lots of time to explain his positions. In short paid for by Cruz. (and yeah - it didn't work)

LOL, hoisted on your own petard, and in support of someone not even Constitutionally eligible to become the President of the United States.

You forgot to add the insults of low-information disengaged voters.

As of this year I have completely lost any and all respect for Rush.

Cruz strategy from the start was to ride Trump’s shadow. While Trump took out all the other candidates, Cruz refuse to attack Trump. It was a smart strategy, but the moment Cruz start attacking Trump he lost big

People love Trump. It's obvious from the crowds and excitement he generates. It's also unanimous from the people that know him personally, or who have worked for him.

The opposite is true of Cruz. Those who know him best dislike him most.

How about some levity to this vanity thread?

Remember those cross-country road trips or go to dinner with comparisons?

Trump or Cruz?

Need I say more?
