I agree with you. But first we must have a candidate who can win. The William Buckley principle is that we elect the “most conservative” and “one who can win.” Trump is neither. Trump is playing us just like he does the viewers on The Apprentice. This is a global “reality” show for him, but not for us. Let’s face it. He has given wads of cash to Hillary; to Blasio, to the snake who is the Virginia governor, he is all over the place on Planned Parenthood; has said squat on gay marriage (which just a fe weeks ago was burning up the pages of FreeRepublic) and now he goes on national TV and cannot articulate a coherent plan on how he proposes to implement his signature issue. He tells Christian Evangelicals that he does not need forgiveness for anything he has done. Great!
As for Republicans, two in three say Trump can win next November, per latest poll. Your opinion has less weight in my mind than a nationwide poll.
You first. Tell all the world what you have had to ask God’s forgiveness for. We’re waiting. That would just give the media something else to blather over for weeks on end. Or have you forgotten the Jimmy Carter famous quote: He lusted in his heart. Come on - you are grasping at straws, and you know it. He also gave WADS of cash to Rick Perry, Scott Walker, Rand Paul, George W. Bush, Judge Jeanine, Chris Christie, and the list goes on. SO, there goes another futile argument on your part. You can’t wrap your head around the fact that he is a businessman and that is what they do. You also don’t realize he lives in a very blue state. He also supported Rudy for Mayor. So, get off your soapbox - if Cruz is meant to win - he will - if not -then nothing you can say will change that fact. So, a candidate has to say squat about gay marriage? Is Ted going to change the Supreme Court ruling? NO! You are ridiculous.
>>But first we must have a candidate who can win. The William Buckley principle is that we elect the “most conservative” and “one who can win.”
In modern politics, we take that as “one who can win” and we give up on the “most conservative” part. And then, guess what? “The one who can win” doesn’t win.
It isn’t 1980 anymore. The Left-Right/Liberal-Conservative paradigm is as dead as Buckley. The Progressives have won. Our task now is to minimize the damage, and that damage is caused by the immigration of anti-American people (illegals and muslims). The snooty high-brow conservatism of Buckley is worthless in this day. In fact, his form of “I know better than you dirty little people” conservatism is what helped to create the Rise of the RINOs.
