Trump has a great message. I just wish he could present it coherently and rationally. The US wants and needs Trump’s message but he seems unable to talk like a businessman. He is all over the place and if he cannot shape up his undisciplined speech, it will be over for him soon.
How about: Illegal Mexicans are stealing our jobs, identities, welfare, and medical care while waving Mexican flags and demonstrating openly to assert their ‘right’ to invade our country and break our laws. What's so incoherent and irrational about that?
If I can say it, any two-bit politician can too. But they won't, they might offend the Mexican voters. Dammit, these foreigners can't legally vote but citizens sure can. But the naysayers tell us the illegals have relatives and friends who support them and as citizens can vote. Yes and this is what we need to overcome in the next election. The sensitive approach and fear of offending someone is not working and a more direct approach is needed.
While politicians are trying to decide which approach to take, LIV (low information voters) are beginning to wise up and see their 'share of the pie' is being compromised by the illegals. And if 'black lives' really matter, some of them will wise up too because the plantation is becoming more crowded each day. Trump and Cruz are giving it to them and us straight on.
Trump is a businessman who knows we are losing our businesses and jobs to third world nations like Mexico. He's trying NOT to talk like a businessman. Instead he's trying to talk to the LIV in their terms about the redistribution of our wealth to Mexico and other countries that is being caused by illegal immigration. They find his direct approach 'offensive' as they are too stupid to know they are losing points in this game and the Mexicans are scoring big-time.
Trump being a businessman wants to use his business expertise to set budgets and manage debt and expenses to achieve a profit for his shareholders, a talent our politicians sorely lack. He understands finances and business law (contracts) as his opponents know only too well. He knows how to work a winning 'deal' for his business. I don't think it will be 'game over' for him until he chooses to drop out or loses all support.
Cruz is a politician who knows the Constitution and rule of law. He's trying to tell us how the legislative branch is being neutered by executive privilege and judges who legislate from the bench. He wants to return the balance of power we once had between the branches of government. He wants to see change implemented by the legislative and Constitutional amendment process, not by the dictates of a few government elites.
Cruz wants to see the size of the federal government reduced. He wants to see the federal government held accountable for what the Constitution deems and nothing more. Leaving the rest of the power to the states to decide which laws apply to them. He wants to see minimal intervention by government into our personal lives. He wants to lead.
The same truths become apparent as more people from all walks of life are being affected by the economic and social downturn of this nation. They are starting to notice America has changed, not for the better, but for the worse. Trump and Cruz are not just the messengers of bad news, they are offering 'good news'. They are presenting real solutions to these issues which are affecting our lives. But will anybody be listening as we go into the next elections? As the LIV wises up and the partisan politicians are replaced by people willing to compromise (deal), maybe we can turn this nation around with the right leadership.
