I have to ask, why is Trump the only candidate on the planet that is required to speak in specifics? Cruz doesn’t, Rubio, doesn’t, Hillary certainly doesn’t, Bernie doesn’t
But I here the same false claim that Trump is required to speak in specifics
I commend this guy for being able to separate his dislike of Trump from his emotions. Good article.
If Ted Cruz and the others would have said something like this instead of jumping on board with the leftwing attack angle, they would be earning support right now instead of scorn.
A pundit gets it! Yippee!
Good article. Too bad Ted Cruz didn’t write it.
Neither democrats, republicans, or the media would have ever considered calling Trump a racist before. They had no problems asking for his money or having photos taken with him.
Now that he’s threatening their hold on politics, they’re trying to label him a racist? I guess they were liars for all those years.
Well, somebody gets it.
Yes it is. This is from Wikipedia on the 1876 Presidential election.
The Democratic strategy for victory in the south was highly reliant on paramilitary groups such as the Red Shirts and the White League. Using the strategy of the Mississippi Plan, these groups actively suppressed black and white Republican voter turnouts by disrupting meetings and rallies and even using violence and intimidation.
No change.
Good article. Thanks for posting.
I don’t think Trump caused the riots. There are disruptors all over.
That being said, Trump’s incendiary comments don’t help.
“Reagan would be far more acceptable to Republicans today than John F. Kennedy would be to Democrats....”
Reagan spoke in Outcomes that mattered & drove hard. Example: “Mr. Gorbachev, Tear down this wall!”.
JFK spoke in Policy terms: “It shall be the policy of this nation... (Cuban Crisis) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-Ui8175D8E
Obama took a leaf out of Reagan’s speech, initially during 2007-2008 - spoke in Outcomes, and drove it hard too - (”Argue with Neighbors, Get in their face”) - #16 in this thread.
Trump mostly speaks in Outcomes too (very intense).
Other candidates speak mostly in Policy (Cruz too) - comparatively soft.
Outcome-speak is a Trump advantage with (his) voters; Outcome means “specifics”.
All the above to be viewed in context and in today’s social and political climate.

These people, the so called protesters are the tools of the oligarchy that are tearing down the US.
They are paid protesters, communist agitators and violent. They are the thug arm of leftists elite political class. If these people do not respect the rights of all people then they deserve to be hit back.
I am done with this communist crap! Time to shove back, hit back, and fight.

Wanted to let you know that yesterday I removed my "Cruz 2016" sticker from my vehicle, unsubscribed to all tedcruz.com websites, wrote a snail mail letter to the Cruz campaign, explaining why I wanted removed and requested every penny of my donations returned.
Ted Cruz in Chicago on Friday night was a disgrace, an if he apologized to Trump and all of his supporters, I wouldn't accept it.
He proved that William Shakespeare was correct, "The first thing we do, is kill all the lawyers".
Ted Cruz is a lawyer first and a human being second, slimy bastard.
I'm sorry that my trust in ted was misplaced, but he is a low life, as low as any demonRAT, even worse because he pretends to care about the Constitution.
