Trumps past is fair game.
So is Cruz’s. His relationship with Goldman Sachs, his eligibility, etc.
I’ve been pro-Trump and pro-Cruz. Each have had their certain positives and negatives, which weighing together has tended to equal themselves out in my eyes.
But deep down, I’ve always had the expectation that Trump will come out and make some statement in the realm of social issues that will make it too unpalatable for me to eventually vote for him.
I left my ballot blank in 2012, the first time in my voting life in which I didn’t give a GOP nominee, big office or small, my vote. And it was due to Romney’s facillitation of faggot-marriage in his state as governor. I can leave my ballot blank again with great and even happier ease these days, now that I no longer feel invested in the future of this country.
LOL! Love it!
The GOP has controlled both houses of Congress for most of the last two decades and the White House for much of this time.
Their ONLY notable accomplishment was the Partial Birth Abortion ban and that didn't actually save a single life, it simply banned ONE TYPE of abortion (the murderers now inject the baby with poison while still in utero before inducing labor and it is totally legal).
Let's look at the presidential elections that the GOP has won since Reagan:
1988: Dukakis was an moron and Bush still had to lie to conservatives to win.
2000: Gore ran a HORRIBLE campaign and still almost won.
2004: Kerry was the most out-of-touch person to run for president in modern times and people weren't yet aware how incompetent Bush's war policy was.
The GOP CANNOT win without the conservative vote.
As I have said before, we have no clue what sort of skeleton the media has on Trump, but only the most naive would believe that there isn't an "October Surprise" in the works.
I will not stay home, but I also will not vote for someone with New York values. Cruz is the only conservative in the race and I only vote for conservatives. Perfect? No, but conservative none the less. Republicans keep pushing candidates who they know are repugnant to people like me, then blame us for not voting for them. Screw that.
And some of you idiots never changed your mind. WoW! What iron ars some of you are. Perfect humans.
Actually, I’m kind of happy with the results thus far.
Cruz claiming Trump’s eligibility to be president was in question, because of Trump’s mother, showed 0 constitutional credentials. I watched last night’s reality show and Cruz came across just like the current White House Harvard scholar resident.
There are many including myself that were taught one had to be born on American Soil. McCain was born off shore but ON AMERICAN SOIL. Trump again has it right.
Cruz is toast. He is about to be dropped on his head. It has not been announced yet, but Iowa got to see an opportunist exposed and Iowa puts together politics and opportunism pretty dang well.
Rubio last night, actually traced very concisely the Cruz’ flip flops, and Rubio designated the particular flips that were based on Cruz pander-bear tactics tailored to flatter and shmooz in Iowa and NH.
Cruz has micro-targeted evangelicals, in Iowa. His other horse carries his agriculture flip flops for Iowa and NH.
Taken together, the whole message seems to be about evangelical responsibility to get him elected in Iowa, and
the aside pay off is *corn subsidies*. Let the harvest be bought..er,....I mean, begin.
IOWA will see they have actually enjoyed a crap sandwich.
That is a dangerous bunker mentality - and a fait accompli loser. I have grandchildren.
“But deep down, I’ve always had the expectation that Trump will come out and make some statement in the realm of social issues that will make it too unpalatable for me to eventually vote for him.”
He will. Actually he has made a bunch including beginning his campaign with the words ‘Sorry Conservatives” but his base ignore that because they like shiny objects.
Or most likely, they are moderates and for some reason, play at being conservative. Because one cannot be two things at once regardless of who they are.
“If there are still more conservatives in the party than idiots”
And there is that Cruz supporter snobbery right on cue...
Who are the true silent majority not only backing Cruz but they're out there caucusing and working for his win.........
And lets not forget all the people Trumps called stupid.....He said Iowans were stupid and had Issues In The Brain! ...IOWA Will NEVER Forget!
“I’m pro-life, pro-family and pro-Christian.
And I like Trump.”
Not according to our “betters”.
No “true conservative” can make up their own mind. They vote for whomever these guys demand we do.
..after 2008, I made a promise to never vote for a non-conservative for President again. For me, Ted Cruz is the only one who represents my faith and values—and I’m not alone...
They may have to ask Trump for a job someday.
You mean NY values like building a wall, deporting illegal immigrants, stopping Muslim immigration until we can get a handle on the problems, stopping ridiculous trade and arms deals, doing away w/ PC in our govt, keeping the military strong, bringing manufacturing back to the country....you mean those values? Yeah, let’s vote against that.
Well stated by an obvious Trump cool aid drinker!
