I think it was on Rushs show where I heard a female caller saying that she would not vote for Trump because his speech wasn’t directed at her. I believe she was a Cruz supporter. She said that because Trump didn’t SAY things like, “smaller government, repeal obamacare, stop abortions, Constitutional Conservative, etc”, that she could not bring herself to consider him.
It’s that purity test. Platitudes = purity you see. Politician after politician stand on a stage and promise purity, and a certain segment are mesmerized into profound trust of these professionals. They never need to see results, they are fine and happy being sung to. BELIEVING in those promises is how that segment actively participates. Once they have decided to believe they do not need to see the promises actually carried out. In their minds the words are the deeds.
Trump doesn’t sing, he thunders. Giving up on a suitor who sings pretty words to win you for a plain speaking man who tells you truths that frighten you is a thing some people will choose not to do.
