Trump is simply taking the liberal outrage playbook and mirroring it back. It's fun to watch, but he would destroy this country as a leader.
Why?
5 to 10 million people saw and heard Cruz, Walker, etc. at Fox's "Trump Debate" that wouldn't have otherwise.
Any conservative who complains about that is an idiot.
Because it takes courage and integrity to lead, not outrage.
I stopped at number 2. and number 3. This spew isn’t worth reading beyond those two.
Jimmy Carter had “character.”
Just saying.
The issues that matter to ME; are ignored by the MSM and the RINOs that are on stage.
No one would even be talking about Illegal Aliens if it were not for Trump.
The last batch of RINOs that got elected, didn’t even wait 2 weeks before stabbing their constituents in the back. There is 1 quality that Trump has that no other candidate has - Trump cannot be bought. That quality alone, sets him above the rest, in my book. Trump is a self-made man; none of the others can lay claim to that.
Ted Cruz, 100%
He is the real deal
He’s my guy. I’ll be worried about Trump when he is.
He’s been helpful to change the dynamics of the race so far. But now it’s time to move on.
It also takes a connection to reality, and a willingness to call a spade a spade.
The liberal “If you’re not pissed off you’re not paying attention” bumper sticker actually applies.
I don’t like “soft”. We’re past the point where “soft” works in this country.
And no, right now, I don’t have a candidate preference - but this is why he’s getting so much traction. We’re all freaking tired of “soft”.
Trump is the one candidate who can actually do what he sets out to do. He will hire the best cabinet and give them orders to fix the country and fire them if they don't. He will stand up to congress and use the bully pulpit to restore Pride in America.
Maybe Cruz would do the same, but right now Cruz is not getting any traction.
I want a president who is fed up and not going to take it anymore.
I don't want someone who is afraid to offend the sensibilities of people who are easily offended by everything.
I want a president who will offend the easily offended and not grovel when the media tries to make him squirm.
Essentially what we need is someone with backbone who want America to succeed.
You missed the good part where he talks about the difference between being politically incorrect and simple trash-talking.
Funny to read about character on a site run by Glenn Beck. Ha ha ha.
Yeah, Ben Carson, that's the ticket.
I choose Cruz.
The problem with that argument, from what I’ve seen, is only his combativeness. The facts seem to bear him out.
He was singled out, and his combativeness fought back to a draw. Treat him like the other candidates, and he will fall into mid pack.
All this Outrage is manufactured. If they were smart, they would use The Donald as cannon fodder, make him a front man, let him take all the arrows and bullets(figuratively of course).
I cannot imagine The Donald as a loose cannon president. At some point he will self destruct.
Maybe.....but I just couldn’t get past that part implying Fox had integrity and scruples.
Then we can see how the situation looks and have plenty of time to adjust.
I agree. We need to stick with our winning strategy of running polite, hand-wringing, milquetoast capitulators. /s
