“There was exactly zero criticism in Cruz’ comments.”
The Heritage Foundation people thought it was. James Dupree on Hannity thought it was. Everyone else thinks it is. Did you read what he said? Do you think it was a complement?
apparently, the trumpeter swans skin is just as thin. no, i did not think anything was a compliment, i thought it was one candidate citing his perceived path to victory and stating an area where he believes himself to be stronger. Hardly an attack. I’m sorry you trumpeters have had your itty bitty little feelings hurt.
Here’s a newsflash for y’all though: there is no way Donald Trump will be the President of the United States. And I have listed on a number of posts the reasons why. But, i’ll do it one more time for all of you in Rio Linda.
As people begin to get serious about their votes, they will begin to look for someone who offer more substance and less bombast. Anger is not sufficient.
Hillary will win the debates. She won’t have to do a damn thing on substance, she could lose every point (she won’t, she’s been around the game long enough to avoid that) but as soon as Trump lets his mouth run before his brain, which is his normal mode, he will say something crass and she will play the vagina card and people the nation over will swoon.
He has offered virtually nothing of substance (nor have many others, it is still early), but in Trump’s case, I believe (IMHO) that he thinks he doesn’t have to (he’s Trump!!!). That dog ain’t gonna hunt.
As people, especially conservatives and other Republicans move towards looking for substance, his liberal views, of which there are and have been many, will come more to the forefront. Don’t believe me? How about his statement yesterday that he will issue an executive order mandating the death penalty for cop killers. Something most could agree on? Yes. But is that how conservatives, those who supposedly revere the Constitution, want the President to act? I know I don’t and I believe there will be millions more like me.
Trump’s support is a mile wide and an inch deep. As others drop out he will not pick up the majority of those candidates percentages. He repeatedly polls second to last (ahead of Bush) of “who is your second or third choice” So as others drop out and those percentages go to one of the other top tier candidates (an ever winnowing group), Trump will look less inevitable and for all the reasons I’ve cited above and others, he will lose enough support to stop him from winning.
Now watch how many Trumpeters attack the messenger and don’t debate any of my points.
