I heard the Dems make the argument and disagree with the apathetic Democrat low voter turnout rationale.

Things changed from the time I wrote those statements until today. One notable change was the fact that we had a primary process and the people spoke. I recognized the direction history was taking, rather early on I might add, and adapted to that reality and made some lemon aid. Can you do the same, or are you determined to live in the past?

And I disagree with you completely about Ted Cruz and his political opportunities and possibly even his responsibilities. This country didn't become great because people always get what they want. It became great because so many of those people sacrificed self for the common good.

Did you look up my posts, or did somebody send them to you?

We differ on the low voter turnout, but unless you want absolutely want to go deeper on it I am going to pass because it wasn't part of my main contention.

I looked up those posts. If you're implying that Hoot sent them to me, he did not. If he did, I would not have quoted them. I can tell you don't think this, but I am fully capable of thinking for myself. If you had seen several of my past posts with TRV, I would often quote him when I found him in contradiction with himself.

So you're saying that because people turn on Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio because Donald Trump says they are the bad guys, we should go with Trump....got it.

Who the people decide as the candidate means nothing to me. Using that logic, if we have a candidate like George Pataki that supports abortion, LGBT rights on demand, we should vote for him over ones that are openly against that just because the people support him? Absolutely not. I don't trust Donald Trump. I said from the beginning he was more of a moderate, but my mistake was not taking him seriously early on. Now, we are paying the price for it.

Your only defense has been that Donald Trump won the vote of the people. If you're going to use that logic with me, I certainly don't want to see you on here complaining about anything Barack Obama has done these past four years. Because Barack Obama won the vote of the people, twice - both by fairly sizable margins.

What do you disagree about my contention on relating to Ted Cruz? Tell me what he has done that has been so unpatriotic. Since you are going against the candidates that are putting up a fight against abortion and homosexuality that you strongly stand against, I'm curious as to your reasoning. You say that you disagree about his responsibilities, what should he do? Donald Trump has chased off many potentially good candidates like Cruz from working with him. Why would anybody want to work with someone that has such a difficult time controlling their temper?

Ted Cruz isn't the only candidate not part of the establishment that is not a fan of Donald Trump. Again, I would like to see you address what I said in the first three paragraphs of my initial post.

I'm determined to do one thing, and that is what is right. If you are going to convince me that Donald Trump is the right candidate, you will have to provide some kind of defense other than the people voting him in. If that means you claiming I live in the past, I'm honored. I would love to live in the day when people left their car doors unlocked and the key in the ignition when they were downtown because the crime rate was practically invisible.
