Then on paper Obama should have been that guy you liked.
Trump is a guy who made himself from a millionaire to a billionaire, has his name across the world, achieved every success in life. He doesn't have to run for POTUS. Cruz, who liked trump has pissed off many people, but somehow never got anything from it, is a professional government careerist except for a couple years. How do you disrespected your leader and expect to run the whole damn show? Liberal or Conservative, government is by consensus, and you have to work with people to get things done, something even Trump gets. Boehner was accurate in his feelings for him and I bet the senate leadership feels the same, I know Cornyn does. Trump is a fraud, racist, misogynist...but so is a large part of america. Men who don't like change, or educated know it alls, who are perceived as trying to steal stuff (the delagtes)and that's what cruz came off as. I realize what cruz did with the delagates was fair but your average guy in Iowa or Nebraska doesn't know that.
Oh and thank you for the welcome libertybele, glad to discuss with you tonight
Trump was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and took Daddy's money, made some very foolish business deals and got himself out of it by making numerous deals with banks and then renegging on his promises, suing people, and taking advantage of eminent domain and the misfortunes of others. If you want to call that success, so be it. I see it as lack of integrity, moral character and preying upon those less fortunate. He has preyed upon an angry electorate with promises on issues he knows absolutely nothing about nor does he even know the function of the three branches of government and certainly didn't and doesn't fully understand the electoral process and then lies to his supporters about it to cover up his own shortcomings. Let's continue to 'feed' the hatred, fraud, and racism that the left promotes and keep things status quo. Cruz in actuality was trying to change that. Trump is preying upon those emotions and is in this to ensure his pal Hillary a victory.
I get that you don't like Cruz; obviously you don't have a clue as to his record, his background, his education or how he got to where he's at from absolutely nothing. Nothing was handed to him; he earned where he's at. He put himself through school and the rest is history. By the way, when he came back to the Senate from his presidential campaign bid he was met with a round of applause. He now has earned respect, his opinion is now reported by the media; people now are listening and kicking themselves for not seeing him for the true conservative that he is and realizing we are now left with a bombastic narcissistic psychopath who is a liar and a fraud and has destroyed any chance of the GOP retaining the Senate and capturing the oval office. As for Cruz disrespecting his leaders; he had every right to tell the American public the TRUTH as to what is really going on in Washington. In fact he really has an obligation to the people to do the job that he was elected to do and represent them and not the faces of corruption in Washington. In other words, he is doing the job that we HIRED him to do. Our elected officials are supposed to work FOR us. We hired them. We can fire them. Yes, the average Joe somehow has forgotten that.
I for one don't like the change that the left, progressives, and McConnell, Boehner and cronies have inflicted upon this country. This country is on a path of destruction and if you see that as good change, then you and I drastically differ. Our Republic will not survive another four years under Clinton or Trump.
