Whatever Trump's spell, it seems to be more of a southern thing. And surprisingly Hillary's strongest southern victories, besides Texas, seem to largely overlap Trumps.<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_presidential_primaries,_2016<br /><br />What's interesting about the republicans over the last 16 some years is the complete loss of discipline. They used to be the party of focus and attention to details, and patience, a strategy to play the long game, and in some ways they still are, but not for president.<br /><br />I don't know whether Cruz or Trump are the "Trojan horses", but I think its safe to call them both "vacuum candidates", candidates who rise in a vacuum of leadership.<br /><br />No self-respecting person would run for president in the current atmosphere of tea-party, purity test, witch hunts. McCain in 2008 did his best (damn poor), to stand as a man of reason, and Romney in 2012 did his best (not much better), to also stand for reason, but we just need to accept reason has been lost.<br /><br />There is no reason for a republican president, because republican "values" do not represent the values of the majority.<br /><br />What's amazing is that Trump makes Cruz look like a hero, someone who might restore reason to the Republicans, but of course, there's no truth to that. Cruz's unlikeability is completely hidden under Trump's shadow.<br /><br />It's a mess. It's not the mess "the establishment" wants, but it's the mess they deserve for creating a divide and conquer strategy to power. <br /><br />Republicans collectively represent the vigor of a 2 year old, the ability to say no to anything they don't like, which is everything that isn't the sugar-coated garbage they're used to, and the virtue to blame others when they puke on themselves after eating too much of their own crap.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.com
