There’s a Trump tweet in Jan 2014 where he was adamant about abortions at 7 months, 8 months, and 9 months. I searched on his twitter feed and it’s been deleted. I’ll try to find a link to it. That right there is a yuuuge deal breaker for many.
First I’ve heard of it. If true, you’d think the Trump haters would post the quote on every single thread. [Just out of curiosity, how would you verify a deleted tweet? Has Trump admitted he said this?]
hahaha— Great anaolgy, I wish I was better at photoshop, I would put a trump head on a honey badger.. with the caption “Trump don’t care”
It is good that you are so careful in analyzing not only Trump’s stated positions but also his thought processes behind them. So, tell me again who you are for?
It doesn’t really take much careful analysis to say that Trump’s statement that single payer works elsewhere is (i) wrong, and (ii) inconsistent with his other statement that it wouldn’t work here. You’re either for single payer or against it. Trump’s wishy-washy “well, it works there but wouldn’t work here, because.....reasons” position is absurd.
And I support Ted Cruz. Who, to my knowledge, has never advocated in favor of single payer. Anywhere.
“the Trump haters”
I hate that term.
It was always the last gasp `argument’ for the Clintonians when all their best stuff got shot down, one at a time:
Nothing happened.
It wasn’t him.
It wasn’t sex.
It wasn’t wrong.
Um, OK ...
You’re just a hater.
Watch, we’ll see that gambit used next-to-last by Hillary and the other Democrats (Lerner et al.) being brought to bay by the desultory GOP-e attack hamsters.
Well, that is true that Cruz has not advocated for single payer at all. There are some things though that he has said and done that are maybe less than conservative.. Also, If you look at the big picture and believe Trump will win the election and get important things done like getting Illegal immigration under control and you feel Cruz may be more pure but has not caught on enough to win the election then doesnt that give you at least a little pause to determine which outcome is better..
I just call what I see. I see hatred of Trump out of all proportion to anything he’s done or said. I can’t count the lies and smears I’ve seen posted by people you’d expect better from. Have you seen George Will ‘s recent articles? He’s seething so much, he’s barely articulate.
If people merely opposed Trump and his policies, I’d agree with you. As it is, not even Trump Derangement Syndrome covers it. It is a wild and weird phenomenon. I hope it diminishes, and the term Trump haters is sooner than later inoperative.
No, but Cruz has taken a teddy bear and soccer ball approach to the open border/foreign invader crisis. Which, if it is not fixed soon, will mean the end of the US as a sovereign nation. When you no longer have a country, other considerations matter less.
You are right on that.. Why such extremes against him? People who are Republicans but have a reputation for honesty have stooped to the point of completely misquoting Trump— calling him a liberal and a socialist and a bigot and a sexist.. There is a paralell with how Sarah Palin was treated, but clearly nothing on this level.
I have some vague theories on why Trump engenders such passionate hatred, but nothing I’m quite ready to share. I simply note that not even Jeb excites such hostility. But that I suppose relates to his poor showing in the polls. In some ways, he seems more of a joke than a threat.
I do find it interesting that the most aggressive haters are rarely if ever advised to tone it down. The personal insults lobbed at Trump supporters are over the top and really disgusting. We get called out for mentioning the hate, but the haters themselves get free rein. Hmm.
Yea, no one mentions how Bobby Jindal is a completely nasty sore loser for his calling trump selfish, a narcisist and a clown. Though I don’t think Trump ever said a single bad thing about Jindal from my memory.
It is sad to see Jindal damaging himself as he has lately. With a bit more restraint he could have left the race with an impression of classiness and maturity. It’s too late for that now.
I agree, it was so pointless.
Yes Ted can be quite selective at times. I live in Mississippi and he was quite timid IMO on the Cochran McDaniel affair

It’s politician in him. Regardless of how awesome you think he is, he’s still a DC professional politician that is beholden to his masters.
