I guess we’ll see what happens in the future, won’t we?
Incidentally, most of what I posted yesterday was simply applying the same standards to Cruz as many of his most intense supporters apply to Trump. You didn’t like it, did you? How d’you think that we like it?
Treating Cruz as some kind of immaculate conservative messiah isn’t helping him. It’s more breeding resentment with those who don’t support him. On the opposite side, I’ve found that people who agree that Trump is flawed but support him anyway tend to get a better reception and actually sway people more (at least after the initial lines have been drawn) than those who are fanatics.
But you have your views, and I have mine. And the way things are going, n’er the twain shall meet.
I already apply the same standards to Cruz, Trump and every other politician. That’s why I like Cruz. He passes all the tests with flying colors beyond any other candidate. When Cruz first ran for the Senate I was very skeptical of a Texas candidate becoming a national standard-bearer for the conservative cause. Sometimes they can be tone-deaf to the rest of the country’s sensibilities. But within a year or two he totally won me over. He doesn’t seem like a regional figure, but like a true national leader for the country who speaks with profound eloquence and conviction on all the issues that matter to me.
