That is true about Trump’s negatives. But I don’t think they are locked in place.
I used to detest the man, now I don’t.
As far as what Trump said about Carson, yes it was wrong to make the analogy that he made. I don’t think Carson is presidential material, but you don’t make a comparison of any kind to a child molester. It’s outrageous to even use that as an example of anyone who isn’t actually a child molester. So Trump was clearly in the wrong there. if I was him, I wouldn’t have done it, and I would have apologized if I did. It’s just not kosher.
However, it’s not as serious as what Cruz did, and here’s why. Trump’s wrongful example was made at a time when Carson had plenty of time to respond to it, challenge it, or whatever he wanted to do.
Cruz took his action at a time when there was no going back, no undoing it. Whatever damage it was going to do, it did.
I do not know if it changed any actual votes, but it had the potential to. So really, it was a scoundrel thing to do in my assessment.
It’s not what I would expect of a man who claims to be moral. I mean really, it’s not.
I’m not just saying this because I prefer Trump either. If someone does something that I object to, I’m going to say it, whether it’s my guy or not. I have to remain true to myself first and foremost.
I think Ted made a costly mistake that day.
At this point I believe Trump most likely will be the nominee, but the enthusiasm outside his supports will be minimal at best. I myself have written off the election as at this point I see nothing good no matter who wins.
Funny how people weight things. To me making fun of my religious conventions would be a far greater that someone appearing to be cheating in a contest, especially one that I wasn’t doing well in anyway. Cheat me of some money I will be mad, make fun of my Christianity and we are stepping outside.
