“Today’s big puzzle is how so many otherwise rational people have become enamored of Donald Trump, projecting onto him virtues and principles that he clearly does not have, and ignoring gross defects that are all too blatant.”
—Thomas Sowell
Ted Cruz’s Immigration Advice to George W. Bush
As a policy aide on Mr. Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign, Mr. Cruz struck a very different tone on immigration than he is offering today.

I love Dr. Sowell, no ifs, ands nor buts.
I disagree with Dr. Sowell because what he sees as "gross defects" Trump supporters see as strengths. I don't know any Trumpsters that believes Trump is as conservative as is Ted Cruz {or cares}.
I'm a Cruzer, my wife and daughter are Trumpsters, and both are life long "conservatives" and we watch the Trump rallies and even I admit that no one can garner the emotional response that Trump gets.
They both say the same thing, we are tired of the same-o-same-o bullshit and we need someone with balls to change the system and clean out the stables.
End of story, my logic will not Trump their justifiable emotion. Trump may not give us the results we want, but he will shake up DC, and what comes out of chaos and destruction, well that is the big reason that there is so much angst.

Read the link at post 4 and then tell me about “otherwise rational people” projecting, and I will add twisting, virtues and principles.
