I agree, on balance it is a positive article and very good points concerning the good things that Trump caused to happen. I think the author was being sincere and objective. He should have left out the Rubio part, he is a traitor to conservatives.
I have been a Trump supporter from the beginning, but over time I’ve come to think that I would like to see his rise be due more to more substantive policy material and clarity of vision. Just clubbing and trashing good people simply because they are in your way is a turn off and it is why people have reservations about him. I mean that is really “NY values” on display.
He has been so nasty and vicious to Cruz, who until Trump came along was about the only person calling out the GOPe and political leaders. Compare what he has said about Cruz compared to what he said about Nikki Haley. She really broadsided a lot of people beyond Trump. So why did he go easy on Nikki and just totally go so ugly on Cruz.?
Simple. SWOT analysis. Something you learn very early in business school. Ted is a threat to the goal, and Nikki is just plain insignificant and is nowhere on the decision matrix.
