Don-O, it never ceases to amaze me that the folks who have demonized Trump for eight months, are now upset because some folks are criticizing their man.
I wanted Cruz on the Trump ticket initially. I had a very favorable opinion of him. And then the incessant trashing of Trump started and I began to have second thoughts about Cruz.
I was never against seeing the things Trump had done. It was having to address those thing five times per day to various well meaning people that finally convinced me I was dealing with people who couldn’t deal with rejection.
Do I like some of Trump’s beliefs from years ago? No. I don’t. How many times do I have to tell the same person over and over, that Trump now has a solid pro second amendment stance, that everyone recognizes is top notch.
The very same day another person posts them same “Trump is anti-second amendment” nonsense and you have to trot out the same defense. The next day you have to do it three times. The next only two, and the day after that four time.
After eight months, the same articles, the same breathless gasps... folks, we’ve covered it.
We ARE NOT buying it. His platform looks good to us. Sorry you don’t agree.
As for Ted, I wouldn’t back him for dog catcher at this point. He and his supporters have made the words “Ted Cruz” cringe-worthy.
As witnessed by today’s articles, the Cruz folks are still on the same kick. “Just one more day of posting the same old things... that’ll do the trick!” Ah, no it won’t.
I know you folks mean well and are just trying up until the last minute to help Ted, but that last minute was weeks ago.
He is politically beyond hope at this point.
We tried to tell you after Iowa, that it was over. You thought we were just lying to help Trump. No, we were trying to get folks back to reality. The massive lop-sided polls, the massive Trump rallies, the seeming public opinion...
Folks, what can I do to get through to you?
I tried every nice way I could think of.
I am a lost cause. I actually listen to Trump's words. Even more instructive are the extended direct quotes that make it into print.
George Wallace was the best I ever heard at this. But, he at least had a coherent set of principles. Trump is pure emoting and wild promises and is constantly backtracking and spinning his own statements.
No sale. No way.
