I think we’re going to know a whole lot more after tomorrow, after next week and for sure after super Tuesday. I swore to myself that we were not going to repeat the process we went through in the last two presidential election cycles where we tore down all our leading candidates and were left with the sure-loser dregs, McCain and Romney. That would be Bush or Rubio in this cycle. No thanks.
I love Cruz, but I’m not going to try to destroy Trump. Trump is leading for a reason. He’s destroying the establishment and the media. And doing a hell of a great job of it. If Trump were to leave the race today, there would be a huge vacuum and you can bet your bottom dollar that the Cruz-hating GOP and their big donors and the media would crucify Cruz to fill that void with Rubio or Bush. And they have the money, the power and the ink to do it.
So far, they have not been able to lay a glove on Trump. That’s because he doesn’t need their money or their power or their ink. He’s backed by the rebellious anti-establishment movement that is growing daily to support his campaign.
If Trump wins this thing it will be because the majority of the tea party rebels, the evangelicals, the conservatives, the Republican base, the independents and a sufficient number of blue collar voters, minorities and others who might normally vote democrat have coalesced behind him. It’d be great if this movement were growing behind Cruz, but that does not appear to be the case.
I love Cruz, but if Trump gets the nomination I will support him to the hilt over whichever godless, America-hating Marxist/fascist totalitarian they have running on the democrat ticket.
Thank you. Thankyouverymuch.
This is what I’ve been waiting to hear from you. Perhaps you’ve said this previously but I’ve missed seeing it on FR.
Thank you and no reply requested.
I suspect Trump is establishment, just not ours.
Well said post 92
