McClellan waited too long to attack. He kept saying he needed more forces, needed more forces. I waited all summer for Cruz to attack. He allowed his adversary to take key terrain — and in fact signaled that his adversary was a friend. It was a tactical and strategic error. He’ll not overcome it.
Interestingly, McClellan was actually a democrat and became Lincoln’s opposition in 1864. One wonders if the democrat McClellan, sympathetic to the democrats of the south, held back his fire because of affinity for his enemy. Cruz’s inaction paved the way for Trump to rise.
Instead I got H1B double down, TPA, and Corker. I got state’s rights on gay marriage and abortion. I got Goldman Sachs and NBC.
Cruz’s inactivity and his missteps lost for him.
The war has not yet started. Cruz has made missteps but while he was supposedly making those “missteps” he was slowly but surely rising in the polls. Trump went on a blitzkrieg with the Birther Crap in an attempt to knock Cruz off his stride and then pulling a Palin out of his hat.
But Trump’s cynical attacks on Cruz are, IMO, going to backfire. Trump is a vindictive narcissist and anyone who looks at him objectively can see that. He uses “i” in the same dictatorial manner that Obsma does and his positions on issue change with the wind.
He has peaked. He has rolled his tanks into Russia and there is a long winter ahead. I don’t know if Trump is going to be the nominee, but I certainly am not going to support him and I was ready to until the scales fell from my eyes and i saw in Donald Trump everything I despise in guys like McConnell and McCain.
Now the day Trump walks onto the stage with Sarah Palij in tow, he bashes Ted Cruz for standing up against the RINOs and being disrespectful by telling the truth.
Anybody who can’t see that Donald Trump has no core values after that is willfully blind.
Ted Cruz has slowly risen in the polls while holding his ammunition. Donald Trump has used all his ammunition and now has begun his March into the Russian winter.
At this point I am praying that Trump continues to reveal himself as the cynical narcissist that he is. I pray people open their eyes. He is not now nor has he ever been who he claims he is now. People will see that. I did. I saw it this past week.
If Cruz gets no traction then I’m going to go for Rubio or someone else down the line. People are looking for a Political Savior and Trump is not it. I want a president who fears God, not one who thinks or acts like he is God.
