>>If Trump would have taken the high road he’d be coasting into the nomination.
Mitt took that high road.
McCain took that high road.
Meanwhile the Democrats fight like guerillas and street fighters, believing that every fight is worth drawing blood over. The high road is the path to defeat. Trump rolled up his sleeves and started swinging from the start. It’s amazing that you “high road” wussies still think that we can win by being a punching bag for the Democrats and Progressive Republicans.
If the GOP fought Obama like they fight Trump, we wouldn’t need Trump.
The problem is that he was swinging at other Republicans - right from the start as you noted. Whether it is only "wussies" who reacted negatively to that is irrelevant, because a general election vote by a wussy counts the same as anyone else's.
Making committed enemies out of people you will later need as allies is stupid, and is part of the reason for the 11th Commandment. So when Trump loses in November, he'll have nobody to blame but himself.
Mitt refused to confront any POLICY differences with Obama....McCain....well...he was just an idiot.
I still say Trump is his own worst enemy. He gave a great speech at that Jewish summit....I was in hopes he’d start acting with some dignity... Oh well...that lasted a few minutes, then back in the gutter. Guess that’s where he tends to stay.
