I am not a Cruzoid. Actually I favor Trump.
Cruz and Trump are the only two candidates who are willing to thumb their nose at the GOPe. When I see personal ridicule and name-calling against them by the same posters, and often using the same words to attack them, I understand that it is part of the GOPe effort to use social media to turn the rest of us against the independent Republican candidates.
The GOPe is not going to turn FReepers into fans of Bush, Rubio or Kasich. What they are going to do is attack Cruz and Trump over and over and over again to the point that staunch conservatives lose their enthusiasm for those candidates and they drop out of the race. That way, with Bush, Rubio or Kasich as the last men standing, they believe that they will compel us to vote for GOPe.
And if we don’t vote for Bush, Rubio or Kasich, well, they would rather have Hillary than Trump or Cruz in office. Of course, Sanders is throwing sand into their plan, but that is a separate issue.
Number time
1. Trump moves the needle. You have to have that to win in November. McCain, Romney, Dole, etc., made my eyes roll back into my head, so I know that they had the same effect on millions. I’ve watched a few Trump speeches and have never been bored. A president MUST MOVE THE PEOPLE TO MOVE CONGRESS. Remember how Reagan got a Dem Congress to pass his plan? He had the people on his side. Cruz will not have that.
2. Trump has all the right enemies, so I know that at the very least- THEY THINK HE IS OVER THE TARGET.
3. If Trump does nothing else but banish political correctness forever he will have saved our country. Our problems don’t get solved because you can’t say things like, “No more Muslims.”
4. If we don’t seal the border and begin removing the semi-permanent Mexican/SA annexation we will never win another election. Trump started his campaign by promising to do just that. He took heat, and never backed down.
5. It’s my bedtime.
