However, I merely have to look at what the other side is offering up: a socialist and a criminal. I'm an old cold warrior. I came of age helping the US Military prepare to fight communism and socialism. I've watched the state of the world for the last 30 years. I've researched enough history to know, to know that communism/socialism sucks. It has never "worked" (created happy prosperous societies). It is not working anywhere now. Finally, applying a little logic, reason, and appreciation of human nature you easily conclude it will never work.
Then there's Hillary. What-the-{expletive} has this Country come to? I mean seriously, {expletive}. She has left a 40 year long trail of scandals, barely dodged charges, dead bodies, broken women, and pure power-mad behavior behind her. Her record of criminal behavior would make a Mafia Don proud. Well, maybe not, I believe they have a better code of conduct and respect. I'd rather deal with a Mafia Don than Hillary.
So yeah, when I look at the alternatives, it's gotta be Trump. Yes, gee wouldn't it be nice if so-and-so was the GOP nominee. Wouldn't it be nice if he was more like whoever, or would moderate his stance on X, or was more forceful on Y... Got it. Not an ideal nominee in most of our books... But compared to what the 'rats are running at the Country the decision is very simple, very easy.
‘I get the feeling he’s probably kind of a type-A a**hole in real life.’
That’s not what people who know Trump on a personal level say. They say the opposite.
I think Trump is an Actor in public...he’s playing a role...in real life from what I’ve seen and read he’s very different.
From what I have read about Trump he is actually very nice in real life. What Cruz supporters might want to think about is why does Ted have no lifelong friends and yet Trump does?
