Most everyone is too busy pushing for their candidate to pay attention. Everyone is trying to arrange the deck chairs on the Titanic and no one is paying attention to the rule objective of avoiding the iceberg, ie Hillary Clinton.
Right now, I see no reason to prefer either Cruz or Trump since both are losing to Hillary or to Sanders. I believe both sides should take a time out. Cut out the name-calling. Stop the outrageous accusations. Talk about the candidates in terms of which one has the best chance to beat Hillary or Sanders. Do it in a respectful manner and not like a bunch of grade school students.
Although correct, you conveniently leave out that the democrats are just now in their own war. Both sides nasty to the other. They aren’t acting any better but since we don’t care about them. We don’t get articles about the infighting that is happening.
DugwayDuke has an interesting posting history. Anyone can check it out.
IMHO he is purposely trying to discourage people, the idea that Hitlery would win (if she manages to not get indicted between now and November) against Trump is laughable.
Maybe, DD, you’re just a member who doesn’t post much, but you have interesting gaps.
And firebrand, I think Cruz knows he can’t win, and the GOPe knows he can’t win, and his sole purpose is as a spoiler so Trump doesn’t win. I’m sure Cruz has been promised “stuff”. I suppose Cruz might somehow not realized he’s being used as a tool against Trump and the GOPe doesn’t want him to win, because Cruz is obviously a psychopath with delusions. Any person in the GOPe even if very ill-intentioned, has to know that Cruz can’t possibly win the convention by any sane method, and very likely not even against Hitlery or Burnie.
Anyway, if by some wretched twist of fate Cruz managed to get the nomination, the Dems would trot out all the dirt they have on him, of every kind, and take him down before November.
I don’t think the polls showing Sanders or Clinton winning are correct. As I’ve posted before, the general election is too far away for most people to know who they want. I know we have to do these polls but I don’t trust them.
I’d love to see a debate between Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders. Maybe they could do this even if neither of them is running. It would help to sharpen everyone’s wits about Bernie and could help a more conservative candidate no matter who it is. There’s so much ground to cover before November—everyone’s been wrapped up in the insult circus and the gossip and we haven’t begun to crack the deeper issues.
