-————Second, you admit a Trump run would guarantee an Obama victory, yet you would support Trump who would say he is running because he is the only one who can beat Obama. There’s a disconnect there.——————
No it’s not.
If you say that Trump’s got a very progressive history, then fine. I might end up finding someone else. You can extrapolate all you want about whatever Trump may or may not have said, done, who he’s supported, and more, but he hasn’t done what Romney has. Romney has admitted to being a progressive. It’s on video. That’s it. Discussion over.
I don’t really like Trump at all. Who I want is Santorum. I’d vote for Gingrich. I’d even take Perry. But I will find someone to vote for and that person will absolutely not be Romney or Obama, and there’s a lot of conservatives who say that.
I was not arguing for Romney. I was arguing that Trump is even worse. I would suggest you not let your hatred for Romney cloud the reality that there are worse folks and that Trump is one of those.
But I’m for just about any of the others over either as you are.
