If they’re going to work for the GOPe in getting Hillary elected, they can do it elsewhere. Thanks.
Sir,
I am flattered you would respond to my question. Of course this is your site and your rules, and the folks “zoted” did all leave of their own accord.
That said I wonder how many of “the bitter enders” may, upon reflection decide that perhaps Trump is the candidate to support given some time. I know that in the last election it took me some time to come off of the disappointment of Newt G. to see that Romney was not a horrible choice and in the end I voted for him with some measure of enthusiasm.
In the coming weeks we are likely going to see on the 26th a further indication Cruz has run out of steam and then on the Indiana on the 3rd a similar result. Because the race has been long and the battle hard fought, it might take a few of the really devoted Cruz a few weeks to calm down and see Trump is really not that bad.
I guess I am saying that long standing folks that walked off in a huff might be want to come back eventually. As Lincoln said the Grant in 65’ “let um up easy”.
By that same token, if folks expect the Cruz supporters, many of whom have been long term fighters for the right, perhaps a bit of respect shown to their sensibilities might pay off in the end. Kind of like the good sportsmanship shown after a hard season. If you like Cruz or not, you have to admit he was a scrapper and I can respect that.
We do need every vote this coming election and I would hope there is room for everyone on the right to find something good in the fall ticket. You many not like Trump and be suspicious of him, but this will be the first time ever that a non-politician contested for the office of the president. It is the closest thing to a peaceful revolution we have seen since 1896. It is hopefully the state of some sort of American restoration, but to do it we need as many of the folks on the right to come to that realization on their own as possible. Make it easy for them to do so in the coming weeks.
