Good to see you too. I miss the enthusiasm of the Whitewater days when we were sure we were going to effect a positive change. Then we had Bush’s spending, electing Obama a second time and now a possibility of Hillary becoming president. It is discouraging. A decade ago I would have thought someone like Cruz could also make a difference but after seeing so many conservatives beginning with Newt Gingrich getting rolled I don’t have faith in that prospect. Trump with all his flaws seems to be immune from the attacks and gives me a glimmer of hope in our system.
I've come to the conclusion that the Establishment will not allow any politician to rise, unless they have the means to bring him down the moment he does anything against the Establishment's desires. Newt, Cruz, and the rest -- the Establishment ALLOWS them to portray themselves as conservatives, as long as they obey orders when anything important is on the line.
The hysterical response against Trump is based on their not having sufficient leverage against him.
I started to wonder why the GOP was not pushing conservatives as their primary nominees. None of these guys were conservatives. And they all lost in the general. Could a conservative really win anything but a republican primary I wondered?
Fast-forward to today and we have a conservative in Cruz, who the establishment hates because he is an agitator in the Senate. I supported him early on until Trump showed up. It was clear as the summer went on, that the GOP establishment did not like Cruz but hated Trump even more. When they started ACTIVELY AND OVERTLY sabotaging their own front-runner's chances, I knew the fix was in. If they were against Trump, then I knew I had picked the right guy to win.
I believe, if they would just embrace their delegate leader, Trump, and support him, the GOP will win in November. But they shoot themselves in the foot again by undermining his every move. So, I've come to the conclusion that the GOP really doesn't want a conservative nominee who can win. They just keep manipulating the arcane system behind the scenes to get someone who will not upset the apple cart and their gravy train in DC, even if it means letting a democRAT win.
Time to stick it to these GOPe chumps with a big 3 Stooges, two-finger poke to the eyes. Trump's just the guy to do it. I think in a head-to-head matchup between Trump and Hillary this fall, Trumps wins going away.
