[However, the only way Trump can win is with the vast majority of Cruz supporters. This is an easier bridge to cross, but still not easy with the hateful rhetoric.]
Nope. Throughout most of this primary, Cruz was my first choice, but I was open to supporting Trump in the general. However, Trump’s divisive rhetoric, demogoguery, and lies have made me distrust him so much and dislike him even more. I really don’t think that I can ever vote for someone as dishonest and self-serving as Trump.. It seems more and more as if Trump is trying to divide the GOP electorate and destroy the party’s chances in November.
I understand how you feel. My advice is to keep an open mind. See how things shape up after California and at the convention. I have a feeling that too many people are unwilling to follow through with this game of chicken when it comes to handing over the White House AND the Supreme Court, permanently, to the far left. I think rational minds will prevail and a truce will be called.
