Both Cruz and Trump are great
candidates, there is no doubt. When you hear either of them speak
you think finally, we have the brightest GOP presidential lineup we’ve had
in almost a decade. Unfortunately we are all falling into that trap again set
up so well by the media, by the bloggers, journalists, the politicians and the
left.
What is it? Stabbing each other in
the back.
People have been asking me for
months, “Who do you like? Who is your favorite?” I’ve answered, I do have my
favorites but I’m going to continue observing and see who is the one diligently
looking at the prize and moving forward when others will get their feet stuck
in the mud forgetting that crawling is the best way out. I love both candidates. I believe
both are on the ball. Trump and Cruz, Cruz and Trump.
Donald Trump
As a New Yorker, I began
watching Trump as the “builder/developer guy” in the mid 80s.
He was one of the very few non-Jews with big dreams who everyone was
laughing at in NYC because of his big mouth, and many criticized him because of
his immigrant wife–but they certainly didn’t mind taking his money. For
charities, for their payrolls, for the pizazz he brought with the paparazzi
wherever he went. Trump became a NY icon, this white, poofy haired
blonde from Queens. He played big and hard but he stayed on the ball with his
eye on the prize. Privately (which also became public), we New Yorkers watched
his family life, his kids and how he treated them, with respect and love and he
never forgot that family is first in all his interviews. After his very
public affair with Marla Maples, Trump stayed pretty quiet during his divorce
from first wife Ivana. Even then, after they divorced,
they still remained cordial enough to stay under the radar, putting
their family’s well-being first. Donald’s children have earned their
education and have been placed in entrusted positions with wisdom to run their
company successfully and not just be trust fund babies who will throw it away.
From what I’ve personally observed,
Donald Trump always had values. They may be “New York City values” but we
are talking the old New York City values, where you help the guy who fell down
next to you, or help that lady in the stroller down the stairs, or walk the
little old lady carrying her grocery bags across the street. In addition, Mr.
Trump was never known to party. To me, as loud as he was, he always seemed to
value life and to make fun of it, never losing the sight of family and friends
and trying to do his very best to make that possible. And yes, the older he
got, the more loud he became about what was right and wrong.
As a young man, Trump was not born
with a silver spoon, working hard to get deals done, having to deal with
thugs in the construction building industry, including mafia, the unions
and teamsters. It was a hard climb. Then he got flack for marrying an
immigrant, something I personally heard whispers of in the social upper
WASP circles. Trump was never a part of the system; he fought hard and won
his own place. One has to admire that and he is still fighting the system. He
is fighting our corrupt governmental system.
Ted Cruz
Then there is Cruz. I love this guy.
He’s a gentleman. He has a great sense of what we Americans have lost in
the past decade: the loss of security, the loss of being able to take care of
our families without worrying if someone gets sick.
The support that we Americans should
be getting when we come back from war or when we are in need because we have to
take care of all the illegals and criminals first. The ridiculousness of some
of the liberal groups regarding religion, abortion, birth control and more. He
understands the 2nd Amendment issues that are being manipulated by our
government and politicians so that they can look good but don’t do anything to
stop the cause of the murders that do go on. The mental health system and the
health system where we are taxed if we don’t buy it and if we have it, we can
barely afford it.
We can see that Ted Cruz is a
well adjusted individual with firm values and as a Christian I can see that he
leads with Christ in his heart. I admire that, he is a fighter.
Both Cruz and Trump have shown
us how angry they are. They are angry with what’s happened to our country,
angry that we have become almost like a third world country but still pretending
to be rich and giving our money away and placating to despots and terrorists or
pretending they don’t exist.
I think people are forgetting that
the focus in a presidential race is to win.
Yes everyone has their preferred candidate but they need to look at the bottom
line. Trump said we need to see who is electable; who can win. Who can get
people to vote other then just the conservatives/GOP. We need the middle class,
the young folks struggling for a college education, the former Democrats and
everyone in between to come vote. We need the down trodden, the seniors,
the Vets, and blue collar workers–those are the people who have lost the
most, living paycheck to paycheck.
What makes me mad is when I see
people on our own side who criticize our candidates so vehemently and
maliciously, taking cues from gossip-style articles in order to make the
other one look bad. (By the way, many of those articles are written
by Leftist bloggers, following Alinsky’s commands…)
On the other hand, Cruz and Trump
have both brought up valid points in regards to each other and instead of
criticizing, I hope people will do their own research and search for the
truth. But they need to listen to each other as well. Bottom line, I
admire both Cruz and Trump and in my eyes, they are a tie.
So I recommend that everyone pay
close attention to the marketing power of the Democrat Party. They will
use every bullet these candidates shoot at each other as their weapons. Instead
of criticizing our top 2 candidates, let’s focus on criticizing
the Democrat weapons that have almost killed our society. Debate all
you want about who is better but electability
is what will count in the end.
