I’m not going to bother to break down your entire post. I’m sure that somebody will beat me to it and, honestly, I’m really sick and tired of going over the same material with people who have no interest in listening. It’s obvious that you’re not asking an honest question and looking for real answers. You’re trying to force Trump supporters on the defensive and you’re probably the 100th one to post such a vanity this year.
All that aside, I’d like you to think about the budget that just passed.
Think about how our party folded like a cheap suit. Think about the decades of compromise that’s pushed this nation ever left.
Personally, I find all of the ‘great and glorious Trump’ memes hilarious. I do NOT think that he’ll be our ‘great hope’ and that he’ll turn it all around. He’s not my savior and he’s not my messiah.
I’m punishing the GOP for their years of betrayal. I want to watch them hurt and gnash their teeth and rend their garments as the party goes down in glorious, white-hot, flames. I’m madder at them than I am the stupid liberals because they’ve lied to me. They took my money and they took my votes and they took my support, then they stabbed me in the back and didn’t do a damn thing that we asked them to do.
Cruz can’t hurt them badly enough. Cruz would be ineffective.
His speech is too high-brow to get through to the ‘everyman’. More and more ‘regular’ people are hearing Trump - from all over the political spectrum. The people who don’t spend hours a day mired in the musings of political pontificates. The people who don’t have the inclination to dig deep into every nuance and issue. The people who are busting their butts working and can’t care.
Ted Cruz begins to recite his carefully crafted speech and their eyes glaze over. Not because they’re too stupid to understand, but because they’re too tired to care and he sounds like a used car salesman giving them yet another ‘pitch’. He’ll never catch fire like Trump has.
And who knows. Perhaps Trump can help this withering economy and maybe he will make us more secure.
Win or lose, I win.
And, before you say, ‘but that could mean that you give us Hillary!’
That’s the argument that I’ve submitted to since 2008. Did holding my nose help us avoid 8 years of Obama?
Why should I fall for that again?
“Ted Cruz begins to recite his carefully crafted speech and their eyes glaze over. Not because they’re too stupid to understand, but because they’re too tired to care and he sounds like a used car salesman giving them yet another ‘pitch’. He’ll never catch fire like Trump has.”
That’s exactly the same reaction I had when I tried to watch Cruz give a speech a couple of weeks ago. And it’s not because I have anything against Cruz, or because I’m a Trump supporter. I ended up turning him off after 20 minutes or so.
