That’s funny. I started as a Rubio guy, and shifted to Trump as it became clear no one else had both the guts to stand up to the Left AND the capacity to win. I see all of his flaws, his ego...his blowhard twitter addiction, his self interest, his lack of any ability to constrain his impulsive use of language, his crudeness at times...but the times we are in, and the rabid Socialism we face, call for a “mauler” rather than a “socialite”. So I SEE the whole man, but have the brains to see that with all of those flaws....sometimes because of them...he is the right man to push the conservative agenda forward.
If that’s what you call blind...well...you’re just using hyperbole that is plain wrong. This picture you WANT to be true of those who support President Trump, exists only in your imagination...outside if the rare nut jobs that EVERY candidate has somewhere amongst their supporters (for example the Cruz supporters who thought him the “chosen” one).
IIRC, the whole "chosen one" thing was a National Enquirer article, you know, the publication overseen by David Pecker, long time Trump pal? They did a lot of well timed fictional hit pieces on Cruz (Seven Mistresses, Dad killed JFK, etc.), and somehow I think you will be able to convince me Hillary Clinton is the Virgin Mary reincarnate about ten years before you will ever convince me there was no collusion there.
Nice try, but we were here, we saw the tweets, the hit pieces, the incontinent prevarication about Cruz (not to mention 'little Marco'), but Cruz caught the most flack, especially after he won Iowa, because Trump rightly perceived him as an electoral threat.
No one had to worship anyone to see that.
It didn't elevate Cruz to beatification, but the smears did drop Trump from my list.
Pity, too, most of Trump's policy stances weren't bad, even if a couple had been lifted from others, but with all that lying during the primaries, they lost credibility with me. We already had a pile of people in Congress who had been supported by the TEA party folks for promising things that it turned out they would not deliver, so I have had a bellyful of liars. But never before have I been threatened with being branded a traitor, hunted down, or shot because I didn't support someone others considered the presumptive heir to a public office, and the internet is plastered with such from Trump supporters. Few perhaps, but very vocal about that.
By contrast, I do not recall anyone who supported Cruz making similar threats to anyone, except perhaps to assert that if anyone tried to follow through on any such threats that they would vigorously defend self, family, and property by whatever means necessary, something that is a given where I live.
