More like, can't take a step back and look at the history of what is happening right now. I've made my predictions about what is going to happen. We can get together next year and see how well my perception worked out.
Hey pal, I just want to prevent another socialist from being elected president and, after careful consideration using my sound mind, I conclude the best way -- likely the only way -- to accomplish that is to go with a populist rather than, although he is a good conservative, has a very low chance to win.
I personally don't think any Republican can possibly lose to scandal-ridden-incompetent-hateful Hillary Clinton.
I saw where some Democrats were saying Trump will beat her like a baby seal. (They club them in the head.) Yes, Trump will leave a greasy spot where Hillary once stood. She might even have a stroke.
But I think Cruz would have beaten her as well. Not as easily, but he would have still beaten her. The "Obama" phenomena won't work for Hillary. She's a hateful old washed up has-been and she isn't going to get a mass turn-out to support her, and that's *IF* she can avoid going to prison.
So if both men could wipe the floor with Hillary, then I would prefer the one that will be more reliable on the Judicial nominations.
That being said, I can live with Trump, but I fear I am going to be sorely disappointed in who he nominates for the Judiciary. I think we all will be.
I have major problems with Cruz and his refusal to get out of the race. His joining the stop Trump movement with the GOPe belies his stated status as an outsider. What does he hope to achieve at a contested convention?
Does he really think that getting the nomination at the expense of the guy who has been the front-runner since July; who received millions of votes more than anyone else setting a GOP record for the primaries; won around 30 states; and have more delegates than Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich combined will propel him [Cruz] to victory in November? It will totally divide the GOP alienating the Trump supporters and guaranteeing Hillary a victory. The sooner Cruz gets out the better. I don’t think Cruz is ticking right. He is acting like a petulant child.
As much as I admire his nationalistic spirit, his optimism and his level of energy, I agree that from a conservative perspective we're taking a chance electing Donald Trump ... but I remain cautiously optimistic.
