“In post after post we read supporters of Donald Trump tell us how they will bet in the polling booth that the Donald Trump will maintain his newly acquired conservative veneer once he gains ultimate political power.”
Discounting the fad-issue of the moment, I have personally witnessed Trump say the same things he says now, at least 25 years ago. There is an old Oprah interview out.
“They even go so far as to compare him favorably with the man who actually stood up for conservative values when and where it counted, Ted Cruz. This is the ultimate elevation not of hope over reason but of Messiah/man on horseback over reason. Logic is not an ingredient of Kool-Aid.”
“Messiah/man”? You must be ignoring all the praise by Cruz supporters that assign him a divine status.
Yes, Cruz really stood up for conservative values when he voted for Obama’s pet agenda projects — TPA and the Corker bill.
I listened carefully to Rush’s comment on the Cruz/Rubio dust-up over the Gang of Eight bill. He embedded/covered over Cruz’s compromising stance on legalization of illegals.
Trump supporters support Trump because of what we think he will do to restore the country. Cruz supporters seem to support Cruz just for his state of being.
