I have been wanting to post something for awhile about Trump vs Cruz. I do not claim to be an expert or know better than anyone else. I have had some experience in elections (I am 61 years old) and have worked in several. Seeing some great men and some no so great has caused me to have concerns about Trump.
I guess the real concern I have about Trump is that it just hasn’t been many years ago that he was expressing completely opposite views on issues that are important to many of us. It is entirely possible that he has had a change of views over the years. I know Ronald Reagan changed from a New Deal Democrat to a strong conservative. But here is the question that many of us who are conservatives are struggling with. How do we know that his “conversion” is genuine, or that he is pulling a “bait and switch” game just to get elected.
Before anyone tells me that Cruz is not perfect I will acknowledge it! No one, aside from the man who walked the roads of Galilee, has been perfect. But Cruz seems to be closer to the real deal than anyone else running.
If Trump wins the nomination I will vote for him. But how do we know for sure that he is closer to another Churchill rather than a wolf in sheep’s clothing? For those of you who are completely in for Trump and think that he is great, please help me! Are you sure that Trump is a conservative and will be great for the country? It seems like we are facing too many dangers to be turning the roulette wheel for our leaders.
You will know a man by the fruit he bears - not his most recent words that conflict with his not very distant past words and deeds.
Good post and your tagline is the real question to be answered.
You should have the same concerns about Cruz. He has racked up a lot of flip flops lately. How can someone at the age of 45 not know he was a dual citizen? How can such a “smart” lawyer conveniently forget to include two huge loans on his FEC filings? How can someone so “conservative” take money from gays and then turn around and bash their “values.” You better take a 2nd look at St. Cruz.
