I’m just watching. Whichever guy, who wants to and can defend the U.S comes out ahead, fine

But if you say you’re defending Cruz against Trump, you’re with the media

...But if you say you're defending Cruz against Trump, you're with the media

Examining Trump's Policies

"There are four stylistic differences between Liberals and Conservatives. Liberals all hold the same opinions. They view disagreements as affronts rather than as opportunities for debate. Liberals are casually wiling to depart from traditions and accepted practices with little or no concern. Finally, the changes they propose more often than not hurt the very people they were supposed to help. Conservatives exhibit independent thought and enthusiastically defend their views in debate. We are willing to change but only if the change is thoroughly grounded and well thought out. Conservatives are well aware of adverse unintended consequences.

Conservatives often wonder what if anything liberals are thinking. This election cycle, I'm surprised at conservatives asking that same question of one-time conservatives who now support Trump. They all repeat the same points and quote his book as if it were scripture. Any criticism of Trump is met with invective. They are willing to support Trump in policies previously thought to be unworkable, and continue that support even when these policies are detrimental to their interests. What's the explanation for this? Liberals justify their behavior by saying they have greater intellect - "That's why we're called intellectuals." Trump says disagreements don't apply, "When you're really really smart like I am..."

Well.....trump is attacking him here....and I am defending.

BTW, I am not media affiliated..

I just read the stuff.

Not sure what you mean by “with the media”...

I guess it means guilt by association and that you are attacking a defender of Cruz, on a pro Cruz thread.

Have at it.....I am over 65 and can defend myself..

Are we prohibited from being against one candidate, and for the other?

We have to choose one, NOW. One of them, Trump, has serious flaws, to put it mildly.

The other, Cruz, has far fewer and smaller flaws and a history of being what he says he is now.

The only thing I am interested in doing is convincing people that Cruz is the best choice and to recognize it now. If that entails reminding people again and again about Trump facts that indicate a 26-year leftist-moderate pro-government history with three party switches and high praise for both Clintons at the same time he praised John McCain --

-- if my doing so is perceived as meaning that I'm "with the media," then it means someone is desperate to avoid looking truth eye to eye: Trump is a media manufactured "personal brand" whose billionaire patriotism makes him a presidential candidate.

“But if you say you’re defending Cruz against Trump, you’re with the media.”

Huh? Stanne, please back up your claim that Cold Heat is ‘with the media’. Maybe run an advanced search on ‘Cold Heat’ with the FR as the domain name. Find where Cold Heat marches in lockstep with the media, and come back to us on those results.

And even if he is ‘with’ the media, I’d be glad to know that some media guys read here in this forum.
