I think Cruz is far superior presidential material than Trump, but:
1. I think Trump can win the general against either BS or Hitlary.
2. I don’t think conservatives will stay home. I for one don’t fully trust him, but I will vote for him MUCH more readily than I have voted for any other repub nominee since Reagan.
“1. I think Trump can win the general against either BS or Hitlary.”
I used to think that.
I am less sure now.
It would depend on the black vote.
Trump will go for Sharpton or done one like that to get Obama level percent.
Why don’t you trust Trump? Is it because the vices and indiscretions of his youth are known to the public, whereas the present corruption and immorality of the establishment political hacks are hidden from view? Is it because in the past as a private person in business he has made some off-hand political comments you do not agree with, whereas the establishment political hacks of all stripes are in bed with one another in private, merely pretending to have their differences for public consumption, and once the people are again fooled, return to their destructive self-serving ways? You can see Trump for what he is; whereas the corrupt dishonest lying political establishments hacks, utterly amoral in private, just pretend to be what they are not! So is their polished mendacious speech all really matter to you?
