Hi, dear Vin! Thank you for the ping!
I surely defer to your expertise and experience on what’s what with the underlying polling for our great patriot, Ted Cruz, and I do respect your loyalty for the best bet to be the next Republican nominee, Ted Cruz. Except for Trump.
The candidates seem to be smartly chilling for awhile, until the dust settles from the Trump helicopter and that great plane of his buzzing fields, landing and taking off. %:D HA!
Mostly they are holding their funding close, waiting on a better opening for Trump to flame out a little. But not Cruz! He is showing up, knows where he is going, and he is appearing in fine base venues (and we all know what showing up means for success). The Turtle and The Hare comes to mind!
I do love Trump. He rocks my heart and my warrior core, he brings back what it means to be a fearless American, and he speaks for me to the GOP, the Marxist regime in charge and has reminded us of a truly silent majority who still can at least roar, after all. He delivers my message. It’s amazing what general can lead, while the smart guys peddle morals and academics.
We have to bring ACTION and the fear factor to the field. Donald is doing that. All the right people are fearful, alarmed at least, and in the middle of experiencing some meaningful disarray. I have prayed for that, short of the Second Coming. I admit it.
To your point, I have said that I am for Trump, and hard, until which time I’m not. I know he is a risk, but I am for destruction of the Establishment and he is the force giving them the shivers.
If he scares out and sabotages himself, then Cruz is there, but if Trump takes this energy and inspiration all the way, we will win the General Election. It’s sure nice not to have that white knuckle feeling we usually have for our favorite candidate.
I have also surmised that in this Godless era, that an honest and practicing Evangelical will not be elected. I know Trump is secular, but as I also have said, God has not always used the perfectly pious to work his will.
We must tag on Trump to stop the Planned Parenthood barbary, or no man can restore this country. We are on our way to Hell, will stay on our way to Hell, and will deserve our collapse. Nor a single candidate promises to destroy Planned Parenthood, or reform our Marxist education system.
Without that accomplished we churn out more of the same from our schools every May and December. Some things are too obvious to miss that must be done.
Love to you and yours, Vin.
Yes, Vin, we are still, most definitely FRiends :)
Amen to dear Rita’s every word, in her wonderful reply post to you. She and I are still very sensible, and realists, as well ;)
Time will tell how this all will turn out. Right now, Trump is the one taking it to the establishment and they’re hitting him - and will hit even harder - with ALL they’ve got. I pray for His protection over Trump and his family’s safety....and, for a restoration and reformation of the USofA.
As usual Rita, you very ably make your case. And honestly, I’m happy that you have found a candidate that inspires your loyalty. We are in agreement as to the goal, which is to overthrow the DC politburo. The question is- who is best able to accomplish it?
To me, I see Donald as a jazz trumpeter. He’s certainly gifted, he’s hit the right melody, but there’s always the improvisation. Cruz, on the other hand, is a classical pianist– he’s going to play the master’s composition. I don’t have anything against Trump, I just feel more certain of what I get with Cruz.
The tortoise and the hare is apt– but, on a more practical level, it may ultimately be a fascinating confrontation between a genius salesman versus a genius attorney. Trump will mesmerize with visionary enticements, and Cruz will try to impeach the palaver with facts and evidence. Don’t know who wins that battle– but if they’re both on their game- it’ll be fun to watch.
As to the religious aspect, not really my bailiwick. In 2012, I was for Newt, and St. Rick drove me to distraction. What Cruz is trying to accomplish now by mobilizing Christians, I look at as politics- and essential. You know what happened in Indiana and Arkansas, and that dovetails into what happened with Trump with Univision and Macys– the oligarchs are stifling opposition. And as you indicate Donald’s popularity stems in significant part from his defiance- and it would surely help the cause if Cruz can politicize and activate a resistance movement.
And finally, I would like to comment on one of your posts that got some notoriety, i.e. that Megyn Kelly was a trap in a dress. And, with all due respect, I thought, Rita has so many insightful posts, why is she saying something so obvious??? Megyn a trap in a dress- well, duh- of course she is.......she’s a woman. -:)
In any event, I know we will not cross swords as to Cruz/Trump, either one is light years better than what we got now.
