Once again, you Trumpsters dodge around this comment:
“The Donald can bring in Democrats and Independents - I don’t think Cruz could bring in any Democrats, and I think some are needed.”
Please answer WHY?
WHY would Donald Trump bring in more Democrats and Independents? Do you honestly believe that it’s because they want and UNDERSTAND conservative principles such as low taxes, border security, pro-constitution, and etc, etc, etc? Or is it more that they look at him and think that “Hey man, that Donald’s a cool guy, he’s gonna look out for the little guy” with no other rationale?
And this is different from the low-info masses that pulled the lever for Obama thinking life would be great how?
Here’s another question. How do you think Reagan got Reagan Democrats and non-conservatives to vote for him? I’ll give you a hint: it’s the SAME method that Cruz wants to use to attract these voters: EDUCATION ON THE ISSUES and TRUST.
I’ve shown Reagan’s 81 Economic Address to non-conservatives who have UNDERSTOOD and reasoned what Reagan was trying to do and figured out for themselves that it made sense. Now who would be better able to give a speech like this, Trump or Cruz, honestly?

Cruz has employed the same method when talking with the enemy such as Code Pink. I guarantee you that on the day this confrontation happened that someone in that audience had their eyes opened to the truth for the first time and have probably started to break away from the liberal thinking. THIS is what it takes.

Our demographics have changed and anyone who refuses to see that is either naive or plain stupid. Even Reagan couldn’t win today.
We lost our schools, public, parochial, and private. If you don’t think the liberals/communists/globalists haven’t infiltrated our schools to the degree that nothing else matters, then I don’t know what else to say.
We lost the Media/Entertainment. Every News show, every comedy, every drama, every movie promotes the liberal/democrat agenda. Every single one.
We are losing our Churches...most are liberal or liberal bent or the extreme opposite which is no better.
Even in my house, which is conservative religiously and everywhere else for the most part, has a slant on some issues.
Have you seen what the school curriculum is? It has changed so much over the years but especially since 2010. Yeah it’s great to homeschool or otherwise isolate oneself but that’s just a tiny percentage that won’t make a difference. And, the standardized tests (SAT, ACT) have changed so much that even those kids who don’t attend public/private/parochial schools will be hindered just as much as the rest. The public schools, and in most states that affects private and parochial schools, curriculum is so anti american and anti individual/success but I don’t see a mass of parents protesting any of this. A small group here and there but mostly nothing.
Do people know what is being taught in their children’s history, English, and now science and math classes? Do people know what their K-5 children are being taught that’s in the curriculum?
It started in high school, then they realized the high school students weren’t buying it so they moved it to middle school and once they realized middle schoolers weren’t buying it they went to elementary students then finally they went to early elementary where they could control the message. And what did our side do? Either take their ball and go home or say they’d handle it at home (where media picked up the slack). We are losing the Culture War.
I taught history before I had my kids and became a SAHM. Then I taught History/social studies and now I teach accelerated math (high school algebra to 8th grade accelerated students) and pre algebra to accelerated 7th graders and esl for a student in 5th grade (teaching him basic english for reading and writing). The other half of my day I aide as a Teacher Assistant (since I’m a certified teacher) for special ed kids. In every subject/content area it’s all liberal meme all the time. I can bypass it in Algebra and Pre Algebra for the most part but I have to prepare them for the exams and that entails teaching the liberal curriculum.
For example, our new midterm, since we don’t do midterms anymore (or finals this year) is a Progress Assessment which is really telling the kids to go with the low energy, electric car which is better for the environment - seriously...that will get them the better grade on the exam, ooops progress assessment (exam and test are bad words).
The SATs are the same!
We are losing the Culture War. We don’t have enough voters who agree with our positions to win elections and affect change. This hasn’t happened overnight. It’s been going on for decades. We need to address this and make a difference in the schools.IMO
Education on the issues and trust is good no matter who does it.
Consider this: we live in a different America than during Reagan’s time.
Over half of Americans have been significantly dumbed down by the system.
I believe Trump is addressing those people with his method of speech.
He knows he has to grab the attention of those people to make it to 1600.
He is educating the LIV who are watching his speeches out of idle curiosity. Maybe they poke around on the internet trying to find out the truth instead of listening to the lying media.
He may be loud, insulting, or whatever you want to call him.
But if his words slap the dumbed down LIV out of their stupor, that’s a good thing.
The people who compare him to obama are ridiculous. Sure, Trump has the biggest crowds ever seen just like obama.
Sure, he’s “politically inexperienced”. Look where all those career politicians got us.
Unlike obama, Trump is shrewd and intelligent. What he doesn’t know, he is learning about.
Obama never built a damned thing. He’s very good at leaving blood, suffering and destruction of every sort in his wake.
Obama never ran anything except America into the ground.
Trump is a builder. To build all over the world you have to know something about diplomacy. I’m sure he knows, personally, far more world leaders than most of the other candidates. He knows how to deal with them.
His plain talk might be offensive to many. But I bet there are a lot of world leaders who hope to deal with him, warts and all after dealing with the lying scumbags that have been in power for the last seven years.
