Don’t waste your breath around these parts it is a futile effort. I will vote Trump but I do like Cruz as well. It doesn’t matter one iota that Cruz was the champion and anti establishment person long before Donald found the R next to his name making the millions off the same shenanigans he rails against. But hey the “I know the game because I played it” schtick worked. We cheered him relentlessly one filibuster to the next but one day all that changed. One day someone else came into the mix that never railed against these things until it was popular to do so. And in one magic wave of a hand and click of a finger a republican and movement was born.

While I will pull the lever for Trump I’ll have a very watchful eye on him. It is ok too to be critical of him to ensure he doesn’t blow it. BUT that may be difficult here without blowback because for many here on the 7th day Trump rested....tread lightly

Will all due respect, seriously, you seemed obsessed with who has the strongest R by their name.

Things have changed.

‘for many here on the 7th day Trump rested’

One of Cruz’ and his supporters’ biggest mistakes was misunderstanding why people support Trump, and in particular misunderstanding the nature of that support. Nothing underscores that misunderstanding more than comparisons between Trump and God. Trump supporters see him as a flawed human being who will put America first. Cruz supporters insistence that this amounts to ‘worship’ did them far more harm than good from the beginning.

I preferred Cruz until January. The change had nothing to do with any kind of God like attributes ascribed to Trump. Nor was I angry at Cruz (yet).

I simply decided that Trump was the better candidate, and had a lot of good reasons for backing him.

I did get angry at Cruz when, instead of being a conservative for free speech and unifying with Trump against the #blacklivesmatter and Bernie thugs, he blamed Trump for their violence.

If you weren’t upset by that, I’d suggest you’re the one with the idolatry problem.

If President Trump doesn't do a good job, then get the voters to fire him after 4 years. Voters means those who voted for Trump not the whining Never Trump Losers, who didn't vote for Trump or voted for the criminal/traitor Clintoon.

If the voters think that Trump has done a good job in four years, don't waste our time whining about what you think he should have done. It will not fly then, like it isn't flying now.

Thanks for your vote, and we will be watching him and those who want to stab him in the back for being Trump.
