Trump’s attacks are not based on policy, they are baseless and personal.
Pointing out Ted’s Canadianess isn’t “baseless”. It’s an issue and will be until a court rules on it or (more likely) Ted drop out in a month or two. Neither is pointing out Mr. Tea Party’s Goldman-Sachs loan that for some reason Ted glossed over by claiming he “liquidated his family assets” instead of borrowing a million dollars against his brokerage account. That second (true) narrative wouldn’t have gone over so well in 2010.
Every one of Trump’s attacks are truth. You just refuse to accept Cruz doesn’t walk on water. Investigate instead of excusing Cruz.
I really dislike Trump’s savage and personal attacks and I am Trump supporter. There are many ways he can consolidate his support based on policies and/or his speeches. How many people have complained about how his speeches have changed very little since he started.
I actually called Trump’s number on his website with a suggestion, which the person on the phone liked. He encouraged me to send my suggestions to an email he gave me. Here is what I suggested he add to his speeches.
Mr. Trump. “Actions,” not words are “bombastic.”
In campaign speeches you could use the following phrase over and over, each time inserting a different action or policy you consider bombastic....
Examples:
Do you know what I find bombastic....
*Obama lying about us keeping our doctors under ObamaCare
*Obama not doing anything to secure the Southern border
*Obama not calling the Steinle family on the death of Kate
*Hillary lying and blaming Benghazi on a video
As you can see, Trump could plug in 100s of things on a short notice. Could be used against the media, in debates where a whole nation would hear it and in his speeches.
It would hurt the individual he was calling out. It would remind people of the individuals and policies that have gotten us into the mess we are in.
So much better than trashing good people.
