And I’m disappointed in Jindal too.
Not because they criticized Trump, but because they’re following orders from the party bosses. And that makes them look like a patsy.
Why do you assume that? There are those who are put off by Trump and who have been hollering from the rooftops for a good while. And according to the Trump fans, the only reason we are doing that is because we want an Establishment candidate. Frankly, it shows little imagination to make such shallow accusations. Nevertheless, I shall press on and hope that the light shined on this egomaniacal, classless, thin-skinned blowhard will bring people to their senses.
So true. His recent shtick about Fiorini's appearance was just pathetic. What a great way to play right into the Dem's "war on women" narrative.
That said, I'm still supporting him, solely because of the border wall thing. Hoping, however, that another candidate convincingly pledges to build a wall (and promises to "secure the border" don't cut it), so I can shed Trump. But until then ...
Trump is far from perfect. An attack on him from the right is worth listening to. Carson is a likable and attractive candidate, well-spoken. His best path is to stay to Trump's right on issues where he is weak.
If you are going to attack him on immigration, his pet issue, then do it from the right.
But Carson is in effect saying that he will accept the status quo on immigration. That is not going to do him any favors with any potential supporters. If we want the status quo, we already have that.
A couple of things.
First, I assume they’re following orders because heretofore neither one of them said things like this about DT until now (to my knowledge). And it just happens to coincide with the timing of when the Republican Party stated that they would take the gloves off with the intent to take him down.
That is not an unreasonable assumption. It may be incorrect, but not unreasonable under the circumstances.
Second, why else would the RNC/GOPe go against someone as popular with the electorate if they wanted their own anointed one in there?
I’m not referring to the individual, rank-and-file voter, many of who have serious misgivings about Trump, and they have that right to express it when and where they want.
I’m referring to the Establishment and their henchmen and henchwomen, out to destroy for the sake of destroying.
