The polls in TN are very high for Trump. There are a lot of my friends that don’t like him but he’s still polling high.

I’m so torn this time. I supported Trump not because I ‘like’ him but because so far he is the only one that I feel will even try to do what he says. At the same time he’s everything most Southerner’s hate. :-)

I don’t trust Rubio at all. He’s a GOP puppet and will do what he’s told, not what he promises he will do.

I like Carson but he doesn’t have a chance.

Something about Cruz makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck and it’s hard to explain why. He says all the right things, appears to be the most Conservative running, but to me he comes across as a conservative Obama. I never think we should compromise on our most important principles but at the same time a President needs to be able to get things done with common sense negotiations. That doesn’t mean rolling over on everything. Cruz gives me the impression that he might be as dictator-like as Obama just in the opposite direction.

I just think Trump can get more of our objectives done than Cruz can. I still don’t ‘like’ him though. :-) Either way, I won’t stay home. Doing so will get us somebody worse than anybody we have.

I have this book, titled The Gift of Fear. It tells us to pay attention to warning signs, such as the feeling the hair on the back of your neck standing up, in order to protect ourselves. He said that most victims say afterwards that they had just such a bad feeling and chose to ignore it. By choosing to pay attention to our unease we protect ourselves better than using our reason. :)

There are probably millions of us who think exactly the same way you do. Sometimes you have to go with your gut...hang in there with the lot of us.

In the beginning, I was all in for Cruz. But the more I saw of him, the more he creeped me out.

Something about his facial expressions.

And his wife is clearly depressed.

I know how to recognize that in facial expression because I have been there. There's an unmistakable element to her expression...a sadness in the eyes.

I had both a paternal Great Grandfather and a maternal Great Great Grandfather that fought in the 29th Alabama Infantry Regiment. I had no problem voting for Trump because I am tired of voting for losers in the Republican party. I am backing a winner for a change.

Over one hundred years ago my family backed Democrat losers and I thank God that I broke that trend. Now we have to continue to cast down the GOPe losers!
