Not everyone who despises trump is a cruz supporter or thinks he’s the second coming. some of us are disgusted with all of the options but will vote for the nominee whomever it is, neither of whom is likely to defeat Hillary in the fractured state of affairs. But to deny Trump’s very real drawbacks and high unfavorability makes his supporters look like mindless drones. far too often the trump supporters start squawking about Ted cruz when someone criticizes trump, when ted cruz is largely irrelevant to the very real criticism of trump. I am still waiting for someone to address the criticism of trump without referencing another candidate.
The Republican establishment has been working diligently to pump up that very same high unfavorability rating.
Two months ago, the Republicans had the election in the bag with Trump.
You should ask yourself why they didn't want the presidency.
The 2016 presidency and the future direction of the Supreme Court was lying in the middle of the road like a shiny unattached gold piece. All the Republicans had to do was bend over, and pick it up [back Trump for the nomination].
There. How was that? :)
Great point! I wanted Scott Walker who has been a magnificent governor of the state that is six miles to my north. When he dropped, I chose Cruz over Rubio but never had any reason whatsoever to consider Trump from the moment when he whined about blood coming out of Megyn Kelly’s wherever. I don’t have to be a fan of Megyn Kelly or agree with her questions and their implications to recognize Trump’s attack on her to be beyond the pale. Neither Cruz nor any other GOP POTUS contender other than Trump had anything to do with that.
