And George W., and Dole, and GHW Bush.
I voted for McCain and Romney, and every Republican Presidential candidate in over three decades. I will vote for Trump in November, and for the same reason as with everyone except Reagan who got my general election vote: the Democrat is worse, and in this case far worse. If Trump does half of what he says he will do, he will be a vast improvement over the last 24 years.
My dream ticket when this all began was Walker/Cruz. Walker couldn’t put together a national organization, so he never had a chance. My dream ticket today is still Trump/Cruz, but it will be snowing in summer in central FL before that happens. I hope Trump picks a Duncan Hunter or a Jodi Ernst, especially if what happens to the other side is what I think will happen, that HRC will suspend “for health reasons” and Biden/Warren swoops down from the sky to supposedly save the liberal day.
Great meme. However, the picture isn’t big enough, but you should have included George W. Bush, Bob Dole and George H.W. Bush. NONE of them were true conservatives - GWB was the closest, but I gave up on him after he signed Medicare Part D (as an aside, how the F&^$ do you get up on a podium with Ted Kennedy and sign a bill while he’s grinning like the Cheshire Cat?).
Since Reagan, the GOPe has made sure that we have no genuine conservative choices. At least with Trump, he owes them NOTHING. He despises a lot of them, because they are nothing but manipulative leeches, just like the bureaucrats that he’s had to deal with on ALL of his projects, the people with their hands out and an expectation that you’ll kiss their butts to get what you want. Well, I don’t think that there’s any kind of person that Trump despises, and wants to bring down a few pegs, than manipulative leeches. He even said that there are some Republicans that he does NOT want aboard the Trump Train - those guys are in the crosshairs, and Trump (once elected) will attach a 155mm howitzer to that scope and pull the lanyard.
