I wasn’t stating that yesterday’s comments were a firebomb, I was stating that that he has thrown many firebombs over the last few months.
Point being that if Trump expects my support, he should at a minimum stop insulting me. I believe in inalienable rights and certain principles that I am not going to wave in order to make Trump more palatable. I will vote for Trump over Hillary, but I’m not about to sell my soul to do it.
I can vote for him and be less than happy with him at the same time. I don’t feel obliged to give my fidelity and devotion to any candidate. I will vote to get results, when the candidate fails to support the ideology outlined in our founding documents I will attack them for it.
I expect Trump to be the nominee. If elected, I expect Trump to renege on many of the positions that his supporters are counting on. The facts in evidence suggest that will be the case. A large number of people will then feel like chumps. I will not be one of them.
It is interesting then that you choose to put your faith in a man who makes misleading statements on a daily basis and who has a long history of reneging on his word. Nearly everyone on this forum has views that are very close to Cruz's stated positions. The problem is that his actions have spoken louder than his words and have alienated most of us. Nearly 9 out of 10 of us no longer trust Cruz. Are the “chumps” those of us who refuse to accept lies over and over again or are the true believers the “chumps”.
Trump is a successful businessman. Before I was hired by a fire department I came from a small business background. The people that I knew who were successful small businessmen kept their word. The reason they were successful is that people trusted them and chose to continue to do business with them. Businessmen tend to be much more honest than lawyers and politicians. Lawyers and politicians have a reputation for saying anything to win. Ted Cruz has more than lived up to this reputation during this election season.
You might want to carefully reconsider who is more likely to renege on his word if elected.
