No, I've not 'missed' your point. You seem to have a poisoned view of Trump and as such....any and everything he says will be suspect to you. I think....you think you know more about his motives than the man himself? I'm not a Trump supporter either (Cruz happens to be my pick), but I won't summarily condemn him for simply changing his mind on a subject. You are free to do so...of course.mojo84 wrote:flintknapper wrote:You know there is really nothing wrong with a person 'sincerely' changing their mind or position on a subject.

I don't envy ANY of the candidates, since these days...something you said in the 5th grade will be brought up in an effort to discredit you.
Provided someone hasn't changed their position....for political expediency only, then I'm fine with it. Actually,it shows maturity and hopefully, intellectual honesty.
We get it, you don't like Trump.
It's obvious you missed my point. The whole point is that Trump changes for "politically expediency".
Agreed. ^^^^^^^^^jed wrote:Why do people keep saying that no one in congress likes Cruz and he can't get along with others in congress? Do you realize that people think this because he refuses to go along with the rhinos and refuses to go against the constitution? Two very good traits, actually the most important traits. The voters of this country really needs to wake up and stop listening to the feel good junk spewing from the likes of Trump. We cannot vote with our emotions, we must vote for our constitution. This is our only hope to stop socialism.

^^^^^^^ My position as well.Beyond that, I am particularly motivated by the SCOTUS and Commander-in-Chief implications for the next four years. (Those decisions will, of course, last a lot longer than the administration that makes them.) To that end, I am willing to vote for the most electable, most conservative primary candidate with all the compromises that implies. And it means I will vote for the GOP nominee in the general election.
