A half truth is still a lie.
I supported Cruz in the beginning so believe me, I have vetted Trump. I did not switch lightly.
In fact, I still supported and donated to Cruz hoping he would be the VP.
After the constant Trump bashing here at FR and being called everything from a Nazi supporter to chimpanzee I decided to take a closer look at Cruz. It became evident that his supporters, including me, had not really vetted him.
I came to the conclusion that I could no longer support him.
His votes for TPA, the Corker bill, his refusal to say the word deport (saying we would have a “conversation” about it after the election), and his weasily, lawyer-speak finally sank in. If you notice, he does not answer a question directly. Instead he attacks the source of the question.
Anyway, my choice is to support someone I know is not perfect but is honest about it over someone who tries to pass himself off as the perfect conservative but who’s votes don’t match.
I have read Trump’s books, watched every speech I could, read all of the articles good and bad, and everyone’s opinion of him.
I came to the conclusion that, while he is not the perfect conservative, neither is he an ideologue. He simply loves this country the way I do.
He is experienced at business, he is a leader, and in all of my reading I have found NO ONE who knows him that speaks ill of him.
I will take open-book Trump, warts and all, over any lawyer promising to be something he has not proven himself to be.
Okay, but be prepared for lots of warts. Back when I was for Trump, I remember defending him from what I thought was a ridiculous charge that he might be prone to Alzheimer’s ... his father had it.
I said that he was young at 69 and that even if he got it later, he could be a good president for 8 years.
But reading those tweets he put out...I got a little queasy about his mindset.
Not sayin’... just sayin’
Agree
Trump has no reason to put himself through this much, other than he LOVES this country and refuses to give it over to those that want to make America different. It is obvious Trump LOVES our country and he has lived here his whole life. Nothing against Ted Cruz, I truly think the best of him, but he in no way is more qualified are patriotic than Trump.
Trump has given up everything to run for POTUS. Cruz still has issues regarding if he even qualifies or not. Again, Cruz is phenomenal, but if he tries to slam Trump, who only got into this race to help our country, it will back fire.
