Now you know why Trump carried the Southern states. Most Republicans in the South are just converted Democrats like him. Makes them all liberal Republicans
“Now you know why Trump carried the Southern states. Most Republicans in the South are just converted Democrats like him. Makes them all liberal Republicans”
Do you live in the South?
I do not know the full history of the Democrat party here, but I suspect that at one time, most or all of the conservatives in the South were Democrats.
Most of the Republicans I know who are from the south and live in the south are very conservative. Some support Trump and some support Cruz.
I never liked Trump (I was a Rand supporter) but Cruz has me turned off with all the globalist stuff plus his history with the Bush admin. He has not credibly explained how he could be all in for W from 2000-2008 but be at odds with much of the same stuff now. The fact that his wife seems to be a committed globalist makes me very uncomfortable.
I confess to warming to Trump a little recently, but that is not based on a sense that he has demonstrated the kind of principles that would incline me to want to vote for him.
