I couldn’t agree more. So when we finally have a conservative declared candidate, why the “Blank” is not every conservative behind him instead of all over the place with TRUMP-CARSON-friona-whoever? I just don’t get it. If we cant get behind Ted Cruz we will never have a conservative for president again.
Probably for the same reason “24” and “Walking Dead” are some of the hottest topics on FR. If you’re immersed in the culture, your philosophical framework is entertainment. Trump is entertaining, he’s saying some of the right things, and he’s a blank canvas on some other things.
What’s frustrating is the pre-Trumpgasm mantra was just what you’re longing for. “We’d better unite around the most conservative candidate.” Alas, Trump calls Bush stupid, he gets a lot of press, fed up Americans flock to him, Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, and Savage see the ratings potential, and here he is with what seems insurmountable popularity among conservatives who should know better. Limbaugh has all but said he’s riding this Trump wave until it’s convenient to dump Trump, but I remember Limbaugh’s late endorsement of Fred Thompson (just before he dropped out of the race).
About the only encouragement I get out this is 1). God is in control. 2) Cruz, who is a lot smarter than me, hasn’t said anything about it. He keeps plugging away, building a huge grass-roots campaign.
