Which might be an inkling that conservatives should come together to support a solid man like Ted Cruz instead of falling for Trump's line.
It's funny, but the most compelling arguments I see from Trump fans are "Well, he's better than Obama", or "I'm sick of politicians so I might as well go with Trump."
We can do better. We have a responsibility to do better.
Your tallying has been extremely selective, then.
Trump is a liberal and is in no way the best we can do.
Pathetic? Because Trump made a nonsensical statement? I think not!
You favor Trump? Really? Then I guess you are like a reed in the wind. Or maybe a closet left-leaning democrat.
Trump favors eminent domain abuse, single payer healthcare, oh but he IS against illegal immigration, so let’s vote for him.
He’s serving a valuable service in speaking up against criminal immigrants (this time), but let’s not go so far as to vote for him!
Thanks for the link to the video.
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.___ George Orwell
“Conservatives and disillusioned Americans are not flocking to Donald Trump because he will cure what is wrong with the Democrats’ governance, they are desperate to find someone as an antidote to elitist, statist one-party rule waxing more intrusive than tyrannical every day. The Republican Party in Washington was given Congress to stop Obama care and, as one FReeper has already observed, gave us Obama trade instead.”
Amen
Now we are making progress...Who has better ideas than Trump???
Trump is the man with the grenade launcher. He is bombing the foxholes occupied by the enemedia and CoC candidates.
Cruz is the sniper that takes them out when they get up to run.
Trump is well known by the LIV. They know and like him. He can get votes from dems, indys and people who never paid attention or voted.
Only Cruz is close to Trump in facebook followers. Ted's facebook followers are the very informed voters. Trump gets the LIV crowd.
If Trump flames out and backs Cruz he will inherit all those dem, young and indys.
Bashing Trump at this point in time is a big mistake. Let him lob grenades. The people who like Trump are the "screw the establishment" vote. It is huge. Don't make them angry. You won't like them when they get angry.
Excellent post.
I worry that the Trump basher types are going to chase off a lot of new voters and moderate dem crossover votes.
Trump is the most hated candidate since 1980. He is being attacked by the media, the GOPe and the democrats. Just like Ronald Reagan.
Cruz is the best choice. The Donald is the only other Republican I could vote for.
I agree with you all the way around. Personally, I support Cruz. However, I think Trump has been extraordinarily useful.Yes, it's sad that Americans are so easily swayed by the personality culture, but it is nice to have someone out there who the media will give a megaphone who just doesn't care what they say.
I'm enjoying the show, but hope Cruz can get the visibility he needs in the debates. He's the most constitutionally grounded guy we have out there IMO.
C’mon, face reality. No way in the world does Ted Cruz win the Presidency. I’m sorry but that’s just the way it is. Jeb Bush has a HUGE machine, a billion dollars, plus a “conservative” TV network behind him. It’s going to be Jeb as the nominee and no matter who wins between Jeb and Hillary IT WILL BE A RULING CLASS VICTORY.
The ONLY chance the people have of wresting this election away from the Ruling Class is a ticket such as: Trump/Cruz, Trump/Walker, Trump/Paul, Trump/Fiorina, and possibly Trump/Carson.
Other than that, get used to Uniparty rule and the continuing death-throes of a dying American Republic. The post-Obama catastrophe is coming. You can bet your life on it.
That’s pretty much where I am on this.
When you have a loose cannon like Trump, you just let it keep firing till it runs out of ammo and then take a body count.
The Donald is the dude! And don’t you forget it!!
No.
I have had enough of you nattering nabobs of negativity!!! The Donald is THE MAN!!!
RINO infighting is GOOD.
Completely
Here, you tell these folks they’re living a lie Scotty.
Then pull your head out of your rump.
