Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh probably suspect -- and rightly so -- that Donald Trump would be (politically speaking) one of the most erratic and unreliable people ever elected to public office.
I'm 100% behind him in this election, but I also know that if he wins, a lot of people here on FreeRepublic are going to be terribly disappointed four years from now.
Erratic, yes. I myself was appalled initially when he announced. And he gored my ox by slandering Ted Cruz. OTOH, whenI'm 100% behind him in this election, but I also know that if he wins, a lot of people here on FreeRepublic are going to be terribly disappointed four years from now.Trumppeople who supported Trump were assaulted by rioters, you were assaulted, and so was I. When Ted Cruz next appeared in public, he volunteered the statement that the rioters were in the wrong - the perfect thing to say. But he then proceeded to volunteer his opinion of Trump, thereby changing the subject from the only thing that mattered at the moment. It was not important to say it, whatever the provocation - and therefore it was important not to say it. It was an egregious unforced error, and if Cruz ever had a chance at beating Trump I think that finally sunk him.
Frankly, my own expectation is that it won’t take 2 years for that. But unreliable and erratic is worlds ahead of reliably vicious, which is the only other option on the menu. So, unreliable and erratic it is. No doubt.Erratic could imply an upside surprise. Reliably vicious, not so much.
