IF Trump continues on like this, like the original Trump taking on troublesome issues and those that created them I will be very happy. I had become disenchanted when he became so obsessed with smashing Cruz.
This all started when he disenginously misrepresented what Cruz meant by NY values and then kept pounding through the Carson situation. Calling him a cheater, a liar and asking for a redo.
I really was for Trump from the very beginning til that point. Should Trump not win the nomination I would be a lukewarm Cruz supporter. So I am quite happy that appears that Trump is going to be bringing more substance and focusing on taking out GOPe candidates.
I feel Trump has best chance of crushing Hillary, winning with a mandate, and uniting all the groups the Dems have created, pitting them against each other and getting them to see each other as the enemy.
I live near Ferguson, MO....it was a nice city, with some problems as all have, but nothing like it was portrayed by Obama, his media and the liberals. Unfortunatly all that came their way has hurt them and been a big setback.
I hope Trump has a slamdunk, substance filled debate tonight!!!
I agree with you that Trump must have a great debate performance. He knows this and I have no doubt he is ready. Of course, it’s on now, so be prepared for him to go after Cruz and Rubio especially if he is attacked. However, I do hope Trump reiterates what he stands for and comes across as impressive as he has lately.
I'll grant you the sore loser Iowa thing, that could be seen that way (though it worked to derail Cruz's momentum, so it may have been a net plus for Trump), but the NY values scuffle was an unforced error by Cruz alone. New Yorker Trump just did what any candidate would do in defending his state, and did it with class and style. Ted needs to learn some politics 101: Don't write off entire states loaded with electoral votes just to take a cheap shot.
I agree with your comments about Trump. He can be the smartest, most convincing person in the room, when he isn’t stooping to NY style bare-knuckled streetfighting.
I hope to see him continue to refine and evolve his campaign style. That includes combining the big events and big tech, with the traditional street-by-street nitty gritty ground game.
