He does not appeal to me AT ALL.
I don’t see how anyone could be so foolish as to want to get behind Trump...?
Wish SOOO much at stake, and we take a chance the guy actually is who he says he is... (even when there is evidence proving otherwise)
Nope, don’t get it at all...
‘I don’t see how anyone could be so foolish as to want to get behind Trump...?’
I realize that Cruz is an awsome candidate. And even Rubio isn’t all that terrible either [although of the three, Rubio is my least favorite this time around].
But look — Cruz is a scholar. Trump is an executive. Cruz is prosaic. Trump is simply brave. Cruz is smooth. Trump is an amateur campaigner.
Each is great in his own way. But it appears to be panning out that Trump can unite so many low-info patriots that it’s overwhelming. These patriots will soon get more curious about issues, such as the muslim crisis in Europe. Then they become informed patriots [aka ‘conservatives’].
But there are other reasons I support him as well.
An executive — only Ike had more executive experience walking in than Trump. Some might argue that Washington had more xp, but regardless. No governor has more international exectutive experience than Trump.
Trade and Budget — We keep getting rolled on trade and budgeting. We need someone who knows how to haggle with the foreign powers. And we need someone with the guts to walk from the table sometimes.
As for Cruz — the true solutions to our constitutional problems revolve around the Liberty Amendments and amendments that are ratified on their coat tails.
BTW ... Trump gave us low key assurances on abortion, Roe v Wade, and judicial appointments. But he tries to not make an issue out of it. And conservative criticism of him probably assists his strategy.
Some low-info patriots are deeply concerned about the border, terrosism, etc but for whatever reason still cling to ‘reproductive rights’. [Talk about the REAL bitter clingers.]
So when they ‘hear’ you or others criticise Trump, that’s actually an assurance to them that he won’t be an ‘extremist zealot’. When irrational fears are soothed without any substantial damage to innocent life, so much the better.
