“No, we “Cruz advocates” stand with you (and your leader) against the establishment. Cruz actually has a longer history of fighting the GOP-e than Trump.
But we want our guy to win the nomination over your guy because our guy is a proven conservative...and your guy’s not.
Got that? We’re like brothers: united against the common enemy — but, in the meantime, we’ve got this little war with each other. “
This is one of the same things I’ve been saying since Iowa when Cruz won. Guys, we’re capturing the majority of the votes, far and away, between these two candidates.
Now, my breakdown is from an ideological standpoint I prefer Cruz but my man is Trump.
The reason why is his manipulation of the media and the fact that he has proven to be practically kryptonite to anyone that stares awkwardly at him. Do I think he’s a stalwart conservative? Nope. Never bought into that.
However we’re dealing with issues that have been radioactive in American politics and one guy, one guy, proved you can bring them up, win and not care what is said about him moving forward.
By the time he’s covered one issue the next is off and running. It’s very rapid fire, provides no time for focus grouping, messaging, talking point consolidation etc.
He’s not managing the news cycle he’s planning them in advance.
If you didn’t see that in his speech last night you really can’t see the 3-D chess game being played.
Well said!
Trump may not be perfect ideologically. But he’s the every-MAN American patriot who can kick the a**es that need kicking, and speak for the people!
