You are actually admitting you are using Carter’s intellectual musings to swear off Trump.
I’m supposed to carry on a conversation with you after that?
It’s just not worth it, if you are willing to admit that that kind of judgment.
All the best to you, but really...
It’s superficial... because Carter likes it, it is supposed to be bad? Since when has truth and fact been a one dimensional thing?
Malleability being good or bad depends on who is wielding the mallets. This does seem to be a warning, though. Since Trump is, in a way, malleable, the right had better try something more constructive than just smashing Trump to pieces, because if he survives in spite of it, his agenda is going to look lefty just by default.
I’m not “swearing off” Trump, and you would know that if you actually wanted to read what I am saying.
I have never supported Trump in the primaries and have always stated that I would vote for him in the general election were he the nominee. I stand by that. Trump is far preferred to anyone the Democrats would put up, but he isn’t my favorite in the Republican race.
So don’t start with a false premise that I am “swearing off” Trump.
Carter was not endorsing Trump, he was asked if he had the choice between Trump and Cruz, who he would prefer in the White House. He said Trump for the reason that Trump had proven himself malleable in the past, while Cruz had not.
That should worry you a little bit. It should worry you that your choice of candidate is seen, even by his opponents, as someone who changes views when it suits him.
The fact that you have such blind faith in Trump worries me.
