Cruz is more likely to pursue an absolutist agenda similar to that pursued in the opposition direction by Barry--take no prisoners; scorched earth. Replace squishy quasi Republicans with office holders who will stand firmly on Constitutional and democratic principals.
On the other hand, Trump is not likely to be the pushover much of the establishment believes he is either. The McConnell who is committed to hanging on to his office whatever he has to do to accomplish that objective is likely to give more in a trade than an office holder who owes no one and is acting on principle.
So you take your choice. Maybe Trump's way is better. Maybe not. Maybe Cruz's way is not practical and cannot be done within the confines of four or eight years without taking steps even Senator Cruz would recognize as infringing on the constitutional rights and privileges of the citizens.
It is a close call--both men are committed to restoration of the American Republic. Neither one of them are in a position where they need to pursue personal enrichment at the expense of the public good.
I have no difficulty with Trump's prior history of policy directions inconsistent with his current stated objectives--he has been in a business dominated by establishment political interests and had done what he needed to do to adapt.
Neither do I have a problem with the fact that the establishment prostitutes don't like Cruz. I think the reason why is pretty clear.
Personally, I have no difficulty voting for either one of them. My current hope is that the current rock throwing does not lead to imbedded resistance to either one.
A very dignified turn of phrase and appreciated in the midst of the current and ongoing food fight fit, between ourselves, in which we have nearly all been engaged. I, for one, quite agree with you.
Politically, TRUMP won vastly many hearts with his take-no-prisoners approach to the ongoing illegal invasion, the intentional dashing of any semblance of US law and order on the border, and the inarguable degree of hospitable deference to and tolerance for the mobs of invaders ever since.
This condition of lax enforcement on the border has existed for now decades, but Obama has opened the floodgates for his own purposes for turning America blue, union and worse.
TRUMP seems to have gotten the entire picture and speaks of no-mercy address of the situation, to not only stop it, but to actually reverse it, and to make believers of us all that it shall be done.
I believe that determination to even dare to paint such a picture qualifies for proof that he is interested in giving it more than the usual lip service and the old college try.
THAT is what gets my vote.
The other candidates are not interested in reversal, nor consequences for the invasion, but rather they believe the United States is and should remain the chief nurse maid and bottle washer for the socialist masses to the south, not a great and sovereign nation. Otherwise, their appeasement and deference would be not to the open borders crowd, but to the American people who fund their abuse of our purse.
“Trump is not likely to be the pushover much of the establishment believes he is either.”
No but he could quite possibly be the typical RINO saying
whatever it takes to get elected and then:
“I like Obama, he means well and now that I’m in office I
see why we need single payer health. And to be frank, selling
aborted baby parts is good business and could help pay for
Planed Parenthood of which I now totally support.”
Donald Trump January 20, 2017
I like Trump I don’t trust Trump.
I like Cruz I trust Cruz.
