When this whole thing started way back when (man, how long ago was that? It feels like a long time ago, since of late every day is day to day with the race on the top tier, I am a Trump supporter), way back when I didn’t have a clear favorite other than I for sure hated Jeb Bush.

So early on I was spreading my donations around, frankly right off I gave the most to Rand Paul, and then soon after to Trump and Cruz. The story of trying to later “unsubscribe” to the Cruz soliciations became a comedy actually, no matter what I did they would not stop sending me “emergency, give money” emails and solicitations no matter how many times I would “unsubscribe” and now I have finally given up and simply ignore them.

But back to the point, I started off donation to Paul, then Trump and Cruz, then was really turned off by Cruz and no need to get into the details, and more and more I realized Trump is the guy.

But the reason I mention this, is no way in my opinion would most Paul supporters switch over to Cruz. It has to do with the Iraq War, too much US interventions, and I can tell you the carpet bomb thing isn’t going to win over the Paul voters. Never mind the snooping stuff from the government, Cruz just lost the Paul voters with that snooping app of his campaign that is snooping on anyone who installed it and data mining their contacts et all, the Paul people I have heard from now think Cruz is cruddy, and definitely snoopy. You can pretend that I don’t know what I am talking about, but in fact I do know the Paul supporters, one of them is my boss. I am not say NO Paul supporter would flip to Cruz, but believe me, most won’t. Trump will have better luck picking the Paul voters than Cruz. Sorry Cruz supporters, watch me be proven right.

I have to ask a knowledgeable Rand Paul supporter this. My head is shaking in disbelief with some aspects of Rand's campaign. One is the 100-ton gorilla in the room. That would be the mess the Federal Reserve and manipulation with bogus money have made of the economy. It is one of his dad's best issues, but it wasn't as much of an issue back then. Why the heck didn't Rand get into that? Why didn't he talk about big-bank connections of Jeb, Kasich, and Cruz? Why, with his libertarian streak, didn't he campaign strongly against common core and other states' rights/ fed control of so many aspects of our lives issues?

Now, NO ONE in the Republican Party has taken up the issue. It leaves an issue for Elizabeth Warren or some other dem to run with if the dems smarten up and dump the hildabeast.

The other thing I don't understand is how intense Rand was against Trump. What was the point? He should've appreciated that someone came along to shake this up.

Total bafflement.
