Yup. Cruz is too conservative. Too principled. Too “Christian.” To hell with Cruz. Give us a rich man, a ruler, a king with a potty mouth who will destroy our enemies (and other things).
And you never cussed a day in your life? Let me give you a hand at understanding the present battle strategy as it is now unfolding ...
This contest is NOT about choosing who is the “most conservative” candidate ... But rather it IS about choosing who is the MOST ELECTABLE conservative candidate - William F. Buckley
If you truly believe that Senator Ted Cruz is capable of pulling in the same demographic spread that is presently being gathered by Mr. trump, then I believe you are either not really paying attention or else you are living in denial. For better or worse, Donald Trump possesses a broad appeal that Senator Cruz cannot even hope to acquire.
I understand that reality does not sit well with you and others here, but it is the political reality.
Nobody on FR, who is still in their right mind, seriously believes that Donald J. Trump is “the most conservative” candidate ... But many do understand that he is the MOST ELECTABLE conservative candidate. In the final analysis that is the only thing that matters ... And THAT reality is the stone over which you, and those holding a similar point of view, continue to stumble.
I am not trying to be flip with you - I am only stating what is patently obvious to those who are willing to see the thing for what it is. I suppose you may eventually come to that reality in your own good time - or not.
