Donald: the Problem, Not the Solution!

Trump supporters – I understand and share your anger against status quo Republicans. You have a choice in this election who is not one of those. Indeed, you can support a candidate who has made many enemies in Washington because of his willingness to call out the corrupt, status quo, go-along-get-along-with-Obama Republicans, someone brilliant and principled. And that candidate is not Donald Trump!

Please consider just these lines about Trump (and to those of you who support him) in the last debate:

“You’re angry at Washington, and Trump uses angry rhetoric. But for 40 years, he has been part of the corruption in Washington that you’re angry about… You’re not going to stop the corruption and the cronyism by supporting someone who has used government power for private gain… Donald Trump supported Jimmy Carter over Ronald Reagan. Donald supported John Kerry over George W. Bush. Donald Trump funded Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi taking over Congress to pass Obamacare. … [But] let’s talk about this election. The choice Republican primary voters are making is who is best prepared to beat Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump has written checks to Hillary Clinton not once, not twice, not three times. Ten times. Donald Trump in 2008 wrote four checks to elect Hillary Clinton as president.” 

That was Ted Cruz in the March 3 debate. He is the candidate that the establishment least wants to see elected. The establishment wanted Jeb. Now they have turned their support to Rubio, as the next most likely to "get along" with the good ol' boy network in the party. That's a bad sign!

If you are seeing the truth about Trump and are ready to switch, Rubio is not your man. Please don't let your subjective feelings about Cruz ("I just don't like his tone" or "I think he looks scary" or "he comes across as harsh") steer you away from his rock-solid substance. We have to get behind the candidate who

• Washington establishment doesn't want (he has already stood up to them),
• who has bested Trump seven times so far in the primaries (resoundingly so in the March 5 contests) and 
• who is universally recognized by both his friends and his enemies as the consistent, conservative candidate.

Let's get behind Ted Cruz. It's now or never, and the stakes may literally be saving our country!

[For those of you who read an earlier version of this post, I apologize for implying that Rubio supporters were childish. That was not my intent...rather those who support any candidate other than Cruz on the basis of your feelings...that is childish!]
