Post by Jim Rob : It's about the people, stupid!
To: GodGunsGuts; onyx; JustAmy; trisham; DJ MacWoW; RedMDer; musicman; Lady Jag; TheOldLady; ...I've been for Cruz first all along. But he's missing the boat. Trump has outflanked him, has him confused, has him rattled and now Cruz is falling into the same trap as Bush, Carson, Fiorina and all the others who attacked him and lost.
Personal attack mode against the populist favorite and national leader buys you no points whatsoever. Cruz should ignore Trump and stay on HIS OWN message! And make it bolder!
And stay the hell away from Beck, Lowry and the National RINO Review and the Gang of 22 GOP losers. The last thing Cruz needs is to team up with DC insiders!
Trump is running and winning with his anti-GOP, anti-insider, anti-establishment, anti-DC, anti-PC, anti-illegal-alien, anti-Muslim-invasion, and anti-business-as-usual platform.
He's pushing and winning with his bold secure the borders, secure the nation, deport them all, ban the Muslims, send them back, restore our religious freedom, defend our guns, defend our local education, cut the taxes, cut the regulations, cut the EPA, cut the bad deals, cut the crap, grow the economy, bring back capital and jobs, bring back manufacturing, rebuild our powerful military and make America great again message.
It's what the PEOPLE want and are hungry for. They want strong, successful, positive, bold and unabashedly pro-America, pro-capitalism leadership! A winner!
It's about the people, stupid!
I think Cruz has done a much better job as have his supporters of staying on message.
My primary understanding of the Trump campaign is that everyone besides him and his supporters are cheaters and liars.
Telling me he wants American to win again is meaningless.
Being a constitutional conservative is verifiable and comprehensible.
That is why “very conservative” people consistently support Cruz more than Trump.
I think with all due respect to Jim Rob, that is the essential nature of Free Republic.
It is very conservative.
Regardless, I think we should feel free to criticize either man for being not conservative enough.
