Remember, democrats in Texas are more conservative than republicans in New Jersey and the North/Northeast/West/NWest. Must be why Atlantic city, NJ is bankrupt.
In fact, the whole Northeast is and has been governed by liberals (republican and democrat) for decades. NE, West and NW state governments are a mess, driven into the ground by liberal policy. Outrageous cost of living, high taxes, overburdening regulation on business. This is the exact reason business is fleeing from those states and relocating to Texas.
Furthermore, the republican establishment had been aligning themselves to battle Ted Cruz, not Donald Trump. They hated Ted Cruz for standing up against the weak kneed liberal republican leadership. He called them out and in fact exposed their lies...even lies to their own party members who were the CONSERVATIVE wing.
Donald entered the race months after it was learned Cruz was to run/announced. Trump is riding a wave of nationalism and rightfully so. This IS NOT about Trump or Cruz. It is about a nationalistic rebellion against those in government. Just as folks on the left are utilizing Sanders as their vehicle...to battle the establishment they feel has failed them.
It is the liberal media that has duped folks into this brawl against the candidates to distract from the real core reason these guys have been propelled the way that they have. Citizen Rebellion. Sad to say, we have to many stupid damn people allowing themselves to be led by the nose ring by dumb @$$ media reports causing this ridiculous sparring match between candidates, thus distracting folks from core issues. Citizens suck it up, hook, line and sinker. Happens every single presidential election cycle.
If Trump gains the nomination, then fine. I will support him. What really puts a burr under my saddle are folks who pickup and parrot soundbites. Folks want to have a foe, so they pic Ted Cruz. Ok...I get it, but to call him a liar, cheat and all sorts of other nonsense is just plain sophomoric in nature.
OK. That’s wonderful, hope you feel better and I’m happy for your that you are proud to be a Texan. But Cruz is still a liar, cheat and fraud, just bigger and better because that’s how everything is in Texas. And by the way, since you like to disparage NY and NJ and all the other liberal places in the NE (speaking of talking points, you sound like Ted there), remember that Ted is going to lose all of NJ’s delegates as well as most if not all of NY’s. So I’m glad you like Ted as your senator because he’s still going to be your senator because he’s not going to be President.
