Folks, the GOPe is what attracted Trump to the Republican party over the Democrat party in the first place. He switched parties right when the GOP turned the direction of McCain-Romney. Even though he was a registered Democrat when McCain was nominated, Trump declined to endorse Obama and publicly, cheerfully endorsed McCain instead. He joined the party right about the time it left the rest of us.
Trump makes promises that he'll be tomorrow what he was the opposite of yesterday and the day before; Ted Cruz makes promise that he'll be tomorrow what he was yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that.
Trump is a losing proposition. His ONLY credibility and trust is derived from a "personal brand" that he carefully established through the MSM and which in itself, outside of his real/tangible assets, he values at several billion dollars, according to Forbes magazine.
Out of some 38 dozen billionaires in the U.S., ONLY Donald Trump, who is 3rd tier among them, has a "personal brand." Those other billionaires managed to do pretty well -- some of them quite a lot better than Trump -- without the personal brand that Trump values so highly for his own success. Voting for Trump's brand is voting for smoke, mirrors, and marketing.
People willing to vote for Trump may hope they're voting for a "conservative," but what they're really voting for is their trust in marketing. Trump's past belies Trump's promises, but some people believe in the brand over the reality. Cruz's past confirms Cruz's promises -- I am willing to vote for him because I believe in reality.
I did say in my last paragraph of #38 that Cruz is my candidate. God bless!
“Cruz’s past confirms Cruz’s promises — I am willing to vote for him because I believe in reality.”
TDS in full force. Trump’s deceiving us about everything, but a career politician and lawyer is the personification of truth. Yeah, I’ll buy that.
