The GOPe is on life support and they know it. They are no better than their cohorts on the other side of the aisle. Grasping for their last bit of relevance before they are knocked to the far side of history.
I keep getting emails wanting me to renew my card. Frankly, I never knew I had one to start with. I replied to the first one saying no thanks that I supported Trump. I still get them though. It is kind of sad. If they did what they were elected to do, they would not have to beg for money. Vote Trump.
Conservatives are the Blacks on the GOP plantation.
For decades we have shook our heads wondering why blacks line up to vote for the Dims decade after decade despite the utter destruction the Dims have brought to their community.
Trump has made many of them realize Conservatives are the Blacks of the GOP plantation. We line up year after year, sacrifice our time and money, and what do we get? A GOP political machine this is virtually identical to the Dims who comes around every 2 years saying “If you just give us this, everything will be awesome.”
Ask yourself this. Despite giving the entire Government to the GOP under Bush, was any item on the Conservative agenda advanced?
Sadly the answer is NO. And what many of us are realizing is the tools of the Conservative establishment i.e. Town-hall, Heritage Foundation, Club for Growth, NRO, Weekly Standard, Fox News, etc are the GOP equivalents of the “Civil Rights Leaders” that keep Blacks on the Democrat’s plantation.
Cruz is just the latest red herring of this “keep the Conservatives on the plantation” stick. Cruz does not have the ability to go over the heads of the political/media/business machine and get the American people behind him. Cruz will mouth all the right slogans and do nothing but what the Political/Media/Business machine tells him to do. If he oppose them, he will be tied up with phony media manufactured scandals and a uniformly hostile Congressional Leadership until he knuckles under in desperation to build SOMETHING for his “legacy”.
This is why people need to quit worshiping the career politicians who happen to mouth the proper slogans. Under the surface, all professional politicians are driven by ego and the ambition to write their names in the History books.
You stated my point better than I. You are exactly on point; Cruz says all the right things, but we’ve already seen with immigration, TPP, Corker, that when the votes that matter are counted, he’s going to do the bidding of his Goldman Sachs/Citicorp backers. Trump is the only one who can move the needle by going over the heads of the machine and directly connecting with the people.
I wonder if they will really hold their collective noses and vote for either Trump or Cruz. I think the GOPe like the status quo so much, that they would rather vote FOR a democrat who will certainly keep their palms greased and their pockets lined. You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours kind of thing. They won’t sit out, and they won’t hold their noses and vote for one of our guys. They’ll vote for one of theirs, be it Hillary or Bernie.
I will vote Trump/ Cruz. Never bush never Rinio. EVER!!
