OK look we’re talking Bush, here is what I posted:
—
There is a big section of the Republican party which is hostile to Donald Trump.
The part of the party is all for the Bushes, selling off American businesses, and importing ever more foreign labor.
They are completely on the wrong side. 100%.
—
What I see is that a portion of the people who are criticising Trump are Bush-bots. And a larger portion of people criticising Trump at least on this forum are Cruz supporters.
You are a Cruz supporter.
OK first off, here goes. I apologize for the confusion about my post. I did mention Bush and that seems to be what our disagreement is about. I’m sorry yes I posted about Bush.
There.
But you are advocating for Cruz. Cruz and Bush supporters appear to both be critical of Trump. Though there don’t appear to be a huge number supporting Bush at least here.
(which is not surprising, since they’re all in a competition for the same votes)
What I am saying however is that at the moment anyway, the two candidates Trump, and Cruz, are on the same page. They are not criticising each other.
You are.
That is my point. I don’t think it is entirely appropriate at the moment.
The gloves may come off at some point, but at the moment anyway, I just think you might tone it down just a bit.
Thanks.
I haven’t seen a single Bush supporter here. Where are they? Point one out. I’ll look.
As for Republicans at large, Bush is currently getting 1 - 3% in the polls! Bush supporters around the country are nearly as rare as here at FR!
Even if your poll of trump at 38% were accurate, that means SIXTY-TWO PERCENT of Republicans ARE NOT SUPPORTING trump! And almost none of those support Bush!
Your thesis is pretty much trashed. Folks oppose trump for all kinds of reasons. A very few support Bush. Almost none.
As to Cruz, I think you initially brought him up. Yes I support him. But that’s not why I oppose trump. The two issues are separate. I previously supported Walker before he dropped out. For me, though, I wasn’t against Cruz because I was for Walker. In fact, I openly posted that Cruz was my second choice. Now that Walker is gone, I will happily vote for Cruz. But if Cruz drops out, then I will not really have a candidate in the nominaton battle.
In the general election, if trump is the Republican nominee, I will not vote for him. My support of Cruz isn’t really related to my rejection of trump.
