It was blatantly obvious to me from the beginning since Cruz was never like any 'Spirit filled' person I knew. When Huckabee turned away from him, I figured that it would open the eyes of many... some yes, but not enough.
I wish Trump had a slightly finer edge... but well, if Patton had a finer edge he would have gone ashore commanding the landing at Normandy and we would not have lost all those men in the hedgerows.
Events are what they are. I never would have thought we had a chance to turn the country around after the second term of Obama. We do. He is 'Patrick Henry' Trump. Pull the lever for Trump in Ohio and Florida and get this thing over.
“I wish Trump had a slightly finer edge... but well, if Patton had a finer edge he would have gone ashore commanding the landing at Normandy and we would not have lost all those men in the hedgerows.”
Somehow a polished demeanor and commanding well from the trenches don’t go together. Churchill and Patton, like you said. Reagan seems to be an exception, but he wasn’t trying to change the course of the nation as much as Trump is - we’ve have veered left and going back will be a formidable battle.
If Patton had a finer edge, we would have landed at Calais, as he wanted. Patton didn’t lead the invasion at Normandy because they used him as a distraction to the German Army. There is speculation that Patton’s invasion plan at Calais would have been the decisive blow and ended the war in Europe significantly faster, instead of playing politics and landing in Normandy. It would have been ugly, but Patton was a tactical genius.
