Your words ‘sound good’ and reflect my own. But if he does not win, the words have no meaning and no substance.
Barry Goldwater was a wonderful conservative and true American in every sense. But he was a loser.
Do you know the history of Ronald Reagan? So you think he got elected because of his ‘integrity’, ‘charm’ and ‘principles’? No, none of these attributes won the election for him.
Ted is modeling his campaign after that of Ronald Reagan which is admirable. But he will need a confluence of just the right events and the right timing to get into the White House just as RR needed. In short, a miracle must happen. Ted will come close on his own but to win assuredly certain events must come together that bring the electorate to him.
In other words, barring Divine Providence, it’s a toss of the dice.
God doesn’t always choose the leader we want and think is deserving. Sometimes it comes to a person of different talents.
Super Tuesday is only 7 months away. That’s not much time.
Trump has shown he can withstand whatever the media and the Bush machine throw at him. He will survive to Super Tuesday with high probability.
Ted will survive as well but how well no one knows.
Without Trump Ted would be alone against the machine politics of the GOPe/Bush/Rove. They don’t play fair. In fact they lie, cheat, steal and break all manner of laws to get what they want.
This is why I think Trump is on the scene, to go up against the machine politics and their media. He’s not a completely wonderful character but he’s an able fighter, a very big one.
