In other words, you find it permissible to condemn (wrongly perceived and non-existent) attempts to idolize Cruz, while excusing the same of Trump.
If you ask me, there's only so much "excitement" that should revolve around a politician, because it's assumed people understand that they're hiring an employee to do a job.
When some allow themselves to fall headlong into a cult of personality, well, yeah, there's going to be a LOT of excitement---of the hysterical variety. It's then that you see people keening about the "Trump of God", making the comparisons I mentioned earlier, writing hymns to him, and proposing we tear up the Constitution and install him as dictator.
So Trump has said some things. He's an entertainer; that's what he does. Cruz is effective without yelling and railing and acting like a buffoon. Some of you, however, have become so used to the Trump show that anything except Kardashian politics bores you.
What do I think the reaction of people should be...?
Well, of course for those of you so emotionally invested in him, you're going to rage. And he knows that and he plays to it; he understands his audience. Note how he fills his speeches with "me against the world" references.
Personally, he isn't my candidate and I recognize him as a liberal celebrity, so I don't care.
“If you ask me, there’s only so much “excitement” that should revolve around a politician, because it’s assumed people understand that they’re hiring an employee to do a job.”
????
That doesn’t even make any sense. I can only assume you dont see the orgasmic posts from the Cruz base on FR based on a poll showing him ahead in Iowa. But that excitement is ok? Some of these people were calling for everyone to drop out and endorse Cruz back in October!
The problem with Cruz’s supporters is that they act too arrogant and entitled by virtue of them proclaiming themselves the one true conservatives and that Trump doesnt deserve the support he has because he just came out of nowhere.
“So Trump has said some things. He’s an entertainer”
God this canard again. Thanks! I hear the same retarded line from the leftist press. Good to know the Cruz base is showing their “true conservatism” and adopting the same crap.
“Cruz is effective without yelling and railing and acting like a buffoon”
WHERE?!?!?!
Where is this series of fricking achievements that you people have? All I get is that he muddled the “Gang of 8” bill and THAT”S IT! If he had this long list of accomplishments I can guarantee you that you people would be posting it every 3 damn minutes! But all we got is you folks just repeating how effective he is because....well dont ask for details
“... and proposing we tear up the Constitution and install him as dictator.”
A thing that exists NO WHERE. But we hear tons of posts that Cruz will “restore the constitution” with then no details. Nothing! No plan, No idea, No indication as to how a guy with no support in congress for even the simplest darn thing will “restore the constitution”. He just will!
“Well, of course for those of you so emotionally invested in him, you’re going to rage. And he knows that and he plays to it; he understands his audience. Note how he fills his speeches with “me against the world” references. “
More of that crap you could have easily lifted from HuffPo or MSNBC. Oh he’s just tapping into rage, right?
“Personally, he isn’t my candidate and I recognize him as a liberal celebrity, so I don’t care.”
For a “liberal” he seems to do a damn better job of pushing conservative issues than many of you supposed “true conservatives”. I can guarantee you that none of the stuff we are talking about today would have been remotely part of the conversation if he was not there. But hey that stupid “liberal carnival barker” makes it easy for you guys to run around with your noses in the air thinking that all of this is being done for the benefit of Cruz, so who can blame you guys for being bitter at him upstaging all of these other guys.
