I was a Palin militant back in 2008, when the campaign came alive with her advent.
I'd vote for Cruz with no reservations, but he doesn't bring in the extra swing voters to innoculate against the Media DeathStar.
Trump brings the voters alive. I think that's the only thing protecting him from the Media. It wasn't enough for Palin, but I think Trump has the Bill Murray factor going for him. Bill Murray is America's cool eccentric uncle - everybody knows him.
Donald Trump is America's rich uncle, and he hasn't really p*ssed too many people off. I think we always just kind of knew he was around, doing Big Trump stuff. LOL! He's a hoot!
I just absolutely abhor the cheap shots back and forth on both sides. We need to be united against the Butcheress of Benghazi, not engaging in bitter backbiting.
That stuff is instigated by professionals. Both sides.
