Why should it. I’ve been here once before. In 2011 I saw the same thing in 2011. The same type of people told me Trump was running and would beat Obama. There needs to be some conservatives manning the ship for when Trump drops out. Some people need to stick with their core beliefs and not flirt with this Democrat Trojan Horse.
“when Trump drops out” — Not happenin baby. He is ALL in and just pulled in the lead.
“Trump is like a snow plow who will move out and BOOM! Ted Cruz President.”
If you want Cruz, and are convinced Donald has no chance, then Trump is a good thing. I really don’t get your strategizing, if you are real. Punish Trump now and drive him out, and you just show the RINOs we won’t back a candidate who is “extreme” (ie enforce the laws and stop murderers and rapists from coming across the border to kill and rape Americans), and you destroy a guy who is preventing the media from focusing hate on Cruz. You’ll get more RINOs afraid of speaking honestly, and the media hammering on Cruz relentlessly (which sadly works).
Plus you risk making Donald supporters hate you, and maybe reduce Cruz’s appeal to them later, because they hate you specifically for attacking a guy they like. Then Donald moves out, and BOOM! Jeb Bush President.
It just seems like such bad strategy and so unnecessary, I find it hard to believe you are honestly pursuing it this aggressively. Even Cruz is openly making friends with Donald. If that isn’t a clear message of what he wants his supporters to do, I don’t know what is.
For the record, I love Cruz, and was all in for him before, but I support Donald right now to show solidarity and loyalty to him while he is at the tip of the spear on immigration, and send a message nationally that strong support for us equals support in the polls.
As a guy who loves Cruz, I can’t see your logic.
