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.
I’m sure there’s professional agitators here. I just wish management was more aggressive in showing them the door. If you want to support one candidate over the other, great, but when the lies start to fly and the ugliness, that’s when ZOTs need to be used.
One argument the Cruz side makes is that their guy will be less damaged and less polarizing for November, but let’s face it, if Jesus Christ were the GOP nominee, the media elites, the party establishment and the decadent cultural leaders would paint him as the next Hitler (case in point, the article that is the subject of this thread). There’s no Republican heading into the fall that won’t have 40-45% of the electorate against them, so they will all be “damaged” and “polarizing.”
Sadly, such is the nature of the game these days. It should be the other party that ought to have 90%+ of the electorate permanently aligned against them.
