On the other hand Trumps political leanings, history and the man in general do not line up even close to what is significant to me in a candidate for the office of President of this country. I don't believe what he says , rather that he has other motives and reasons to run then what he's saying and this would not play out well for our nation or it's people were he to win the Primary.
I did know of his Military deferments and the mob ties he's had because after he announced I checked his record and history of voting etc.....what there was of to check. Like most it was fun to watch him for awhile there, but soon was just a repeat of the same boasting , insults etc. replayed time and again...and still does..... though he's refined himself a tad, but not enough for me to see him in the light others have....besides he's got far to go yet..
I think you and I know how things go during an election....most do here on Fr. but there are a few who enjoy baiting and fighting and feed off that. They love to rumble. So we each decide if we want to jump in that pool or not....which as of late seems they get a thrill defecating their body fluids in that pool. Those I prefer to scroll by or "play" on the edge with....they know who they are. Those who have been my Freeper friends will remain that...and if not then that's their choice once this election is over...as it is everyone here.
Thank you.
Another Trump critic just had a private heart-to-heart. Most Trump critics just want me to leave them alone.
Your FRiendship [all Cruz supporters as well as Trump supporters] is important to me, more important than scoring points for either side at this late hour.
I’m out of the vetting side of this now.

It may turn moot before long if the chickens come home on Cruz, which sometimes it seems unfair when they do on a “dedicated Christian” like that — but it’s a matter of God policing His obviously known people to minimize scandal.
Then the choice becomes to take a chance on Trump (also supporting whatever conservative deal-forging efforts, e.g. Sessions’, that may be going on with Trump) or else fold arms and sit out.
I think many people don’t have more than superficial experience with the issues that beset both Trump and Cruz, even though they SAY they have great insight. I am reminded of the duet “Things Are Seldom What They Seem” from the old Gilbert & Sullivan operetta “HMS Pinafore.”
For me ultimately it is a question like the biblical parable of the talents. What did each person do with what he got (and it might not be what the world calls a talent, but rather access to spiritual truth). Trump has the excuse, if I may put it thus, that he does not yet know gospel from goose feathers. This will not fly for Cruz. God is going to ask proportionally more from Cruz. And Cruz seems to be missing much of the grace side of Christian faith, that he is in much better position to know than Trump is.
