Trump says what he thinks people want to hear. He’s also smart enough to tap into the wave of discontent in this country, but what a person says versus what they will do once they are elected are not always the same. Many seem to forget that.
There’s just something about Trump that doean’t ring true.
Perhaps I don’t disagree with your sentiment. But that perceived distrust isn’t what I was talking about really. It was the duplicity that I’ve seen here in arguments where rational arguments from one side or the other have been perverted and twisted to support whatever you want to call this last battle between Cruz and Trump.
My position has always been for Cruz and that I didn’t mind Trump as long as Cruz had no problem with it. Despite whatever Trump’s failings are, he gave us two things: “illegal” reintroduced to the national debate, and “Muslims” as a very likely future problem we need to face. The added benefit is that he’s pretty much trashed any and all hope of Jeb Bush honestly getting the nomination (which has always been one of my primary goals). To these ends, I thank him for that.
We’ll have to see, but I won’t participate in bashing either Trump or Cruz to see one win over the other. I’ll sit back and let those two handle it themselves and then vote for whoever of the two survives and makes it to the general election. I will only vote for one or the other, or both. No Jeb, No Rubio, No Kasich, Carson or Christie, period.
