This way that you see yourself is the very reason people are not leaving Trump for Cruz. You have set yourself up as the “smart” one by claiming everyone else is dumb. It’s simply unappealing. There must be better arguments in favor of your chosen candidate as apposed to telling everyone else that they are stupid. The “you are a stupid dupe” argument is not helping Cruz’s numbers. Why?
What if the people supporting Trump aren’t stupid dupes but your friends, neighbors, and family.
Good point.
I like to think I originally stuck to the issues and pointed out where Cruz's policy positions and record were a perfect match for most of the members of this forum, and that Trump is still to the left on many topics, and only recently conservative on his conservative positions.
I'm frustrated at the ease with which the Trump supporters here simply dismiss the contradictions.
You're right, though, I'm not going to change anyone's mind by calling them stupid.
Interestingly, Trump gained 30,000 twitter supporters in the last 24 hours. His social media between twitter,facebook, and instagram is increasing by about 1 million per month.
That shows tremendous interest in Trump.
Not a single candidate comes close to this growth not even Hillary.
Trump is currently at 13 million subscribers on social media. Every month that goes by Trump increases by 1 million. This is how Trump neutralizes the media. Keep in mind with retweets Trump is reaching 26-39 million per day. The media cannot compete against this.
Those calling Trump supporters stupid assume they have moral authority. They simply have not earned it and as long as Trump has social media he keeps growing by numbers that no candidate can even come close to and the anti-Trump gang is ineffective.
