D'Trump Was Amusing

My tl;dr for today, possibly to bring on a new thread?

D'Trump was amusing, even inspiring when he stuck to criticism of the left and focus on issues like immigration and jobs. He sounded pretty good, for a crazy-haired old white guy. I could vote for him.

Now that he has moved to threatening lawsuits on Cruz birtherism and his other crazy and foul talk, the amusement factor has worn off for me. Trump - no, thanks; Cruz - the best we have left.

The Stump for Trump gals follow D'Trump's lead. When he was all about building a wall and bringing back jobs, their shtick was very enjoyable. When he turned nasty, so did they, and I quit watching them.

Joe Dan Gorman has a new Intellectual Froglegs out. Gorman used to have the best show, fast-paced, fun, on-target, and sharply conservative.

But now, he's become an uncritical D'Trump fanboi, and taken up attacks on Cruz and Levin and glazing over anything Trump has done or said that could be criticized.

Gorman's still not as nasty as some other Trumpeters, but pretty much toeing the Trump line all the way. Blind fanaticism is scary to see in people I respected. "But, daddy, I'm in loooovvvve!" Takes quite a shock to unseat such emotional investment.

I still watched the whole latest Froglegs, but it's getting harder. Teeth-gritting through the majority of it, because, fanboi. Sad to see, for someone who was a strong conservative voice.

I think Gorman represents a lot of the disaffected conservatives who think being "pragmatic" in supporting Diablo Trump beats critical thinking.

The Stump for Trump gals represent the rest of the Trump pack, who are all about "ditching and switching" to Republican for the primaries, but when it comes to the election, if Trump isn't there, they'll all be back in the woodwork or voting for the democrat.

Personally, I'd like to see Cruz, warts and all, be the Republican nominee, going up against Hillary the Gangster, or better, Bernie the outright Communist.

So many folks declare Cruz "unelectable" - I'd like to find out.

I'd like to see Constitutionalism versus Communism on the menu. Then, if True-Blue Cruz does lose to the bloody Reds, America has proven itself to be suicidal, but at least the clear choice will be made.
