The anger came first. Railroading conservatives as was done in Mississippi, being told to sit down and shut up, the time for Reagan is over, pissing down conservatives’ backs and saying it’s raining, that anger came way before Trump. Remember something called the TEA party? That is the anger. The GOPe decided to capitalize on it in some cases, usurped the movement in other cases and downright trashed us in other cases. They have hated us from the start. To this day they hate the base — the little people they don’t need to win. You can see it in their approach to the delegates in Colorado. We are the enemy to them. The democrats have never been their enemy. Just look at the national presidential elections in 2008 and 2012 as proof. Have they ever fought against Obama or Clinton as hard as they are fighting Trump? Where was the hashtag “we did it, never Obama” against any of Obama’s lawless governance?
Yes conservatives have reason to be angry and ungrateful Cruz people should be counting their lucky stars that Trump ran because Cruz would have been just another conservative flavor of the week without Trump. Just a grease spot under JEB!’s loafers if Trump had decided not to run.
My anger and mistrust of the GOPe has caused me to examine their every action and notice a pattern. That has obviously escaped you. They (the Uniparty) own candidates. Even the ones they hate, they own. They have taken a man who seemed to side with conservatives, understand conservative principles and honored God with his mouth and turned him into an unrecognizable thing.
Maybe he was always a chameleon, maybe the advisors he’s taken on or the political landscape have twisted him into this unprincipled, unconstitutional, immoral thing. Whatever the case, Ted Cruz is not the conservative I thought he was at first. It started with him changing his opinion on what the founders required to run for president. His sitting on his hands as VP of a republican organization that trashed a winning conservative candidate using the worse of liberal tactics in Mississippi. Voting for Obama’s trade deal when it counted and against it when it didn’t. Either Ted Cruz is an idiot or he thinks he’s fooling someone.
That screamer with no guiding principle was the only one who spoke up against the foreign invasion of our country. The only one who remembered illegals were out there murdering US citizens. Ted Cruz or any of the other candidates could have stopped Trump in his tracks if any of them had decided to stand with US citizens against the invasion. Ted didn’t have the guts to go against his masters. Neither did any of the other candidates.
Don’t “go down that path...yet.” You keep sitting in your seat Tory. The redcoats have already passed you by and found you to be their friend.
Following a wild grenade thrower is a good way to get blown up. Trump doesn’t know which way to throw since he has been on every side of every issue. I have yet to see him propose anything that will fix the real problem of this country, the idea that the federal government is there to fix everything for everybody. Trump believes that too.
