Every time a Republican nominee loses the election we hear "this is what happens when you nominate a RINO. Real Republicans stay home". Well you have a legit conservative running and he's losing to an angry liberal (Trump) and a weak establishment candidate (Rubio)
What gives, "real conservatives"?
Because the establishment has had a much longer time to "hose" him. He was in their eyes, the biggest threat. They laughed off Trump thinking he would implode of his own volition, which he may still do, lol.
Washington DC and the media are playing everyone, all the time. Do you remember that senator from Alaska who was GOP that got creamed by the media? (I forget his name) Look back, and you will see the hatchet job they did causing his life to be ruined, and him to lose his seat.
What was the outcome? It was all fantasy, the courts actually apologized to him, but the establishment had their way.
Look at Bork! They massacred him too. It to was all fantasy, but it ruined his life also, because of his reputation.
Politics is a full contact sport. Ever heard that saying? Well, it is accurate. The middle of the road Washington elites have their agenda, they do not care who they screw as long as THEY retain power, and the media who fight to get EXCLUSIVES to promote their credibility, go along.
Just ponder what I wrote for a little while this evening, and it will come to you why we are seeing what we are seeing. Once you realize that they are all in cahoots for different reasons, it becomes apparent how things are manipulated. Sure, they all do it for different reasons, but they do it for their own GAIN. You on the other hand, get to listen why only this one is electable, or that one is unelectable, and that is all you hear. If you repeat something often enough, people begin to believe it, and that is part of what has happened to Ted Cruz.
