Your Handy, Dandy Trump Vs. Cruz Comparison Chart!

... his ridiculously over the top ridicule of those who questioned Obama’s eligibility...

I thought very highly of Beck up until that. He had been going on for years quoting Thomas Jefferson (I think) "Question with boldness even the very existence of God ...", but then, on the issue of the 0bama birth certificate, he said "I had Stu look into it, he says there's nothing to it. We're not going to cover it".

Now he's so far gone it's painful to listen to him even briefly and intermittently.

do you trust another Republican politician?

Ironically, many of the Dems (blue collar, etc.) have the same problem on their side

So Trump will be hated by both sides because he has been in both political parties and on all sides of every issue.

[wardaddy]

I’ve been here a long time

Top 15 percentile or so I’d guess

I see folks I respect on both sides of this

The Cruz folks who don’t fancy the possibility of Trump are especially hurt because Cruz got so close

Closer than any of us ever imagined

The Trump folks who can’t face Ted as an alternate are either not big on culture war or responding to ad hominum

In any event it’s inevitable here

I sure never thought I’d see Sarah Palin openly eviscerated like lately here

That was the bolt for sure 4 years ago

How many Trump folks today were Giuliani in 07/08?

Quite a few.....

But I also see a number of formerly banned folks from that era over amnesty that support Trump now....like me....I’ve been called racist a lot more than liberal in my tenure on FR

Which is a big reason for me....THE IMMIGRATION CRAP AND ISLAM

I could explain who cares...

I lean Trump over Cruz but could deal happy with Ted

Or Rubio except for GO8 misstep

Or a few of the others if in contention

If a bunch of Cruz or the highway sorts bolt after Trump clears the table it will hurt the forum bad

Amnesty wars and Mad Ivan and company’s fantasy diluted us bad

We’ve yet to recover

I hope y’all consider that cause you’re gonna be mad I know

[TomGuy]

Either you misunderstood my post or you decided to make your own weird interpretation.

My post was about his appeal to both disaffected Dems and Pubbies/conservatives.

Few other candidates on either side are doing that. For them, they are following the politics-as-usual format.

[Ben Mugged]

You’re most welcome and free to reuse the rationale.....

[nathanbedford]

If both Democrats and Republicans are disaffected with their own respective parties, it is hardly weird to interpret that to mean that they should be disaffected with Donald Trump because he has been a member of both parties and fully supported policies of both parties.

I grant you he has appeal to disaffected Dems and Republicans but that does not mean that they are thinking clearly if they are familiar with his biography.

[GOPJ]

I’ll have to answer you tomorrow or the next day... you’re good bolo - - listened longer than I did... and you’re logical. Very odd for this political season.

[Pelham]

“Or Rubio except for GO8 misstep”

That was no misstep. That was Rubio doing exactly what he had been doing when he was Speaker of the Florida House. He was already siding with illegals over Americans.

[Yosemitest]

"Good chart of comparison. "

I agree !
