You just can't make this stuff up. :)
President Cruz may well disappoint me by striking an agenda that doesn’t match his campaign rhetoric. He wouldn’t be the first politician to do so. But. I’m basing my support on his record. His campaign rhetoric, his record, and my views all align.
This is why flip flops are so important, especially in a Presidential election. It’s why Rubio is dead to me politically, based on one, singularly important issue.
President Trump has no history that backs up anything he says. He will disappoint those here supporting him, and severely so. He’s unmoored from any time tested ideology and any way possible to gauge his faithfulness to any core belief.
My core political beliefs have been consistent since 7th grade. In 5th grade, I supported President Carter for re-election because Ronnie Raygun was a dangerous chest thumper. And then. In 6th grade I watched the Iranians release our hostages because they respected a strong leader. I experienced a sea change shift in my world view, a reorientation that has lasted 36 years.
President Trump’s world view changes with whatever “deal” he’s making.
I don’t see how Freepers can trust anything he says. I don’t see how a Freeper that still holds Rubio accountable for the gang of 8 can dismiss the inconsistencies of the art of the deal.
But. La. La. La. My mind is made up. So there. He’s gonna win. So there!
I just wish I could have more faith that there’s some “there” there.
