<< “ ... the Syrian refugees would be dangerous, yet Trump in Sep. 2015 said bring them in. >>
Trump came in to the race with his sea legs, I think in July, right? Within days he spoke of the Middle East travesty of Christians.
So, remember how he was deeply disturbed about the Christian refugees, how little anyone cares about getting them to safety and out of Iraq crucifixtions, etc.?
I recall he said we had to take the some Syrians in as refugees. I thought it was pretty clear that it was the Chaldeans. The Christian Syrians.
I know for darn sure he was never talking about a whole sale immigration of 96% young, strong and able bodied men, headed for the US, with only 4% Christians.
RitaOK, I was thinking about your earlier question about Cruz and I had a bit of an epiphany. At least it was to me.
I pinged everyone because I would like to get your thoughts and didn’t want to start a vanity.
Anyway, I was thinking about the differences between Cruz and Trump and I think I have come up with why Trump is more appealing to some of us than Cruz is.
Trump LOVES America while Cruz loves the idea or ideal of America.
Cruz loves the constitution, the story of the founding of America, it’s history and what it stands for. He loves the ideal of freedom and the republic.
On the other-hand, Trump LOVES America and it’s people. He loves what America has given him and what it promises for all of us. He loves the military and police forces as her protectors, he loves the cities and what we have all built together throughout our history, and he sees her as Reagan’s shining city on a hill.
Cruz almost feels like an outsider that appreciates what America is but it isn’t really apart of it.
While Trump is very much apart of our country and expects us all to take ownership and responsibility for her.
I guess it would boil down to Cruz intellectualizes the American experience while Trump lives it.
Does this make any sense to any of you? I would love to know your thoughts.
