It's clear that this is the end result of this. These voters aren't going to line up to vote for Rubio, Cruz or others. They may even lose the Senate now, since Trump isn't on the ballot.
Career politicians are useless because they aren't independent like Trump.
This thread title now appearing in the dictionary under "Strawman argument".
Rump is not about politics. Rump has NEVER been about politics. Are you
just now figuring that out??
Rump's loose association with "the Republican Party" is as exclusively relevant as his association with, say, NBC. It's the convenient vehicle of the moment. Whatever vehicle serves Numero Uno, he's on it. And we've only been pointing this out for FIVE YEARS.
DUH.
A Party is fluid, it's not a bloody cult. So, they got behind a fighter. NONE of the other candidates in 2016 would have beaten Hillary.
See what I mean?
Your stated goal here, even though still pretending to be Canadian, is to "beat Hillary".
It's not to promote any kind of policies, it's not to improve the country --- it's to "beat Hillary". It's entirely
personal.
And that's a personality cult.
As I already said ----- DUH.
I am not part of ANY cult. My interest in politics was periphrial until 2016.
My first choices for GOP in 2016 were Rand Paul or Rubio. In fact, I thought Trump was there to help the Dems as he was so controversial and outside the political norm.
I also supported, in spirit, Hillary over Obama. Not because I knew much when watching it on TV, but because, at the time, I thought her husband did a good job.
It wasn't until Trump starting talking about CHina and your southern border issues that I listened and took him serious. I also happened to have read enough and learn enough to know that China needed to be confronted. It is never too late I suppose, but the West is definitely far behind.
If any Dem had come out with a strong opinion against Chinas abuses of our international trading system, spying and human right abuses, I would have supported them too. I can't vote, but I would speak my mind and know my preference They have been ODDLY silent on these vital global concerns. The question is, why? It concerns me and it should concern anyone who defends freedom.
