I was not making accusations of Ted Cruz or any of his supporters.

I watched as Barry Goldwater got ground into the dust in 1964, by a very distinctly inferior rival. As one of Goldwater’s more fervent and vocal supporters, the crushing defeat that election night left me with a lingering sense of being unable to place much faith in fellow Americans, much more swayed by emotion than by any kind of logic or reason.

Goldwater, as it turned out, was not running against LBJ, but against the ghost of John F. Kennedy, a very formidable opponent, and his message fell upon deaf ears at the time.

Ted Cruz finds himself in a similar position, the nation suffering paralysis of analysis, and again deaf to reason.

Love him or hate him, The Donald does not attempt to appeal to logic or reason, but taps in on the vast reservoir of emotion that has built up in that territory once known as “the United States of America” and is in a position to harness that vast store of potential energy to, as The Donald says, “Make America Great Again.”

“Emotion” is for wrestling fans. I want the clear headed, passion of a proven principled Conservative. Ted Cruz is the best to come along since Reagan.

Ted Crus isn’t anything like Goldwater. He, and this election are more akin to 1980.

BULL
Trump is very good on (illegal) immigration which threatens to existence of our country. All the other candidates are horrible to weak on the issue of (illegal) immigration and on the issue of (illegal) immigration we can not take any chances or we will lose the country. I do not understand why the above is so hard for some folks to understand. Once you understand it you will know why so many real conservatives and real patriots support Trump.

Get immigration wrong this election cycle and country will belong to the Marxist globalists FOREVER.
