Horowitz: It's Beyond Time For A Cold-Eyed Look At Trump's Record

Conservative Review ^ | January 13th, 2016 | Daniel Horowitz

Trump and Cruz had great synergy between them that focused Americans on crucial issues.

That's all over now.

Horowitz does raise some questions about Trump that should be asked.

I support Ted Cruz . I think he is the overall the best candidate we've had since Reagan. I pray daily that he will be our next president.

Trump is my second choice. I think he is sincere when he says he wants to make America great again.

That said, Trump attacking Cruz is a mistake. It plays right into the hands of the GOPe/Dem's hands. The MSM has been pushing for weeks for them to fight each other. The plan is Trump and Cruz destroy each other, then Jeb comes in to save the day.(AAAAARRRrrrrrrrrghhgg!!!)

I really HATE the election process in general.

Everybody has to drag each other down in the slime, and we forget about issues, and get caught up in smoke, mirrors, and BS .

It just seems so beneath the dignity of our great nation, to chose our leader based on the results of a mud wrestling match.

We have such a noble history. It is literally a miracle that we are even here. Too many people have no clue about how we came to be. And so many have laid down their bodies on the battlefields so that we might continue to be free. You would think we could do better.

It is 100 times as hard to deal with, this time around, because the stakes are so high.

It was very upsetting to witness our military being held hostage, and then the whimpering "thank you" of our government to Iran for returning them.

I keep praying for my country. It is only by the grace of the Lord that it hasn't become much worse for us. And it is only by His grace that we will continue as a Constitutional republic.

Please pray for our nation , no matter who your candidate is. (And seriously consider how they will handle threats, and the kind of leader they will be when the next attack occurs.) We are facing grave dangers.

It's rather frustrating to respond to these arguments when the questioners simply ignore those responses, and ask the same question of another supporter.

Don't respond to the arguments against Trump presented in the very article this thread is specifically about because someone might ignore the response?

I suppose you could consider the New York Military Academy a prep school, although certainly one of a different sort. The point is, there has been too much analysis and too little action for far too long. It is time to clear the room.

Thank you.

I have to admit I'm confused. I keep hoping these threads will help me come to a conclusion — but they turn into such nasty bickering.

I think Cruz supporters and Trump supporters both hope that their guy will be able to fix things, and I think we pretty much agree on what those things are. Not sure where all the anger is coming from, except that we see our country's last-best chance to break this free-fall and nobody wants the other guy to mess it up, I guess.
