No one here has the contempt for the GOPe I do.You guys want the guy who played both sides of the fence and is reaching for the brass ring. Well, that's Yuuuge. You'll own it. Bye.
What does this mean? You are angry Trump donated to both parties? There are just four possible donation scenarios ...
So which scenario is the one that would make you feel all tingly? A candidate with no paper trail and never donated to anyone? A candidate who only devoted to (R)epublicrats? Yeah that's it, isn't it. You want someone who only donated to (R)epublicrats which by the way makes your previous sentence there "No one here has the contempt for the GOPe I do" a lie since almost every single (R)epublicrat is a GOPe lackey of some sort. There's none left to trust, including TPA Teddy.
Trump donated peanuts relatively, and to both parties. How on Earth is this considered a bad thing, especially since it becomes a giant asset in the general election? He is the only one in either party to this very day who gets to say that he is non-partisan or bi-partisan by definition. He can say: "Folks, I've donated to both parties, even to my opponent, I'm not a party hack so vote for me to clean up the mess." Surely you see the unique utility of this!
You do realize the point here is to win the general election, right? You do realize that the electoral map is badly aligned against us, right? You do realize that you must convince (D)ummycrats to crossover or you lose, right?
Actually I don't think any Cruzers understand this at all.
I do indeed. I guess it depends on what constitutes a 'win' for you. We have been long faced with the situation of accepting the lesser of two evils, and here we are again.
Given that choice, I'd prefer the 'lesser evil' at least have consistently stood for Constitutional principles.
But, if the electorate is back to wanting to choose between dem communist and dem 'lite' again because we can 'win!', then not one damned thing has changed except the condition of the Republic, which has been on a steady decline trend since Reagan.
You don't understand the Contempt I have for the GOpee, the lies, the crap pulled at the State level here. Look up the date of the ND Republican primary this year. Go for it. Tell me how much of a voice I have in all this, and perhaps you will begin to understand that contempt.
If we can't win this with someone who will uphold the Constitution and who will stop the rogue federal agencies largely responsible for this mess, be it military, economic, scientific, or cultural, then we have lost before we have started. Another, yes, ANOTHER crossover candidate who will sell us down the river is just a waste of effort. It isn't a win if we "win" the election and lose the Republic.
In fact, those who didn't pack their nostrils with limburger cheese and go vote for Romney have even been shat at with the common-core math principle that not voting adds to the opposition vote tally.
If democrats count more than conservatives, you will lose again.
