Bravo, well said -- I agree SO MUCH with that, Kickass -- at the time I was livid at my fellow Californians for not getting off their butts and providing Schwarzenegger with the support he requested -- it was a special election where those measures were presented, and many people just didn't take the trouble to get to the polls that day.
But here's the real deal, Kickass. Arnold was an actor and showman, he needed an audience and needed constant praise. He got it during his campaign, and suddenly all the adoration disappeared. And so, essentially, did the Arnold we thought we were voting for. Arnold wouldn't have given up if he still had the spotlight and people cheering and praising him. He should have stayed in show biz.
Trump promises to be EXACTLY the same way. Trump thrives on applause and attention, he is a hot-headed showman whose schtick is "refreshing candor" expressed through cocky confidence. It works in the entertainment field and perhaps in negotiating contracts, but in the White House, it will only bring embarrassment and disappointment.
People who vote for Trump are only voting for what they hope he will be in office; they have zero way of knowing where his political compass will tend because, even though he has nearly a quarter century more years on this earth than Ted Cruz to zone-in on a political philosophy, Trump's entire political history is of one whose political compass is and remains as mercurial as the markets.
Cruz's entire political history is of a limited government Constitutional conservative. People know what they're voting for with Cruz: the political compass he's adhered to since he was in high school in the late 1980s.

That’s exactly it... further Trumps giving people a false sense of security by supporting him........and we all remember what Obama supporters of “Hope” REALLY amounted to.
