Again and Again Moments in the Stolen Party
Last night actual polling data on the race for the Democrats showed that near voters accepted the premise that Sanders, probably due to him existence an open socialist, as opposed to one who is nearly equally socialistic but hides it amend-was less electable than Clinton.
It was not even close.
Still all mode of Democrats chose Sanders anyway, the person they felt most represented their values.
And on our side?
A person spending less then 19 bucks a vote who had no edge in state makeup for voter advantages, who hardly spent time there, beat some other person who spent millions upon millions in ads, finishing third.
That happened the same dark that an open socialist won in spades there.
That's the aforementioned person who won Iowa, with the entire state Establishment appliance working against him, who denounced Ethanol fealty, who had everything thrown at him over his citizenship, who had a phony controversy thrown at him twice, from i foe and CNN.
He trailed Trump, with everything going confronting him, OUTSIDE MOE by 5-vii points in like 7-8 gilded standard measurement polls in a ROW.
He won by over 3 points.
Polling data showed his values were nearly shared, seemingly, in both Iowa and NH.
Yet our side go on trying to exist pragmatic and splits its vote up assuasive either a GOPe minion through or a fool like Donald.
Kasich finished 2nd with no way to become forward given his lack of resource.
One man does have those, a ground attack, system and is a truthful believer. He'due south as well the smartest candidate with the highest educational chops, his name is Ted Cruz. At that place is objective reason to not coalesce effectually him.
Rubio finished fifth. He was third in Iowa.
At that place is NO Time to finish Trump UNLESS several bow out, and hopefully Rubio, or he runs the table.
We will not stop his momentum, press fawning and star power by splitting the evangelical vote in SC between Cruz with like 21% and Rubio xvi%.
Due to concerns, not objective ones, past the fashion, over "electability" we are about to toss everything away, which we do almost every time.
Cruz has shown more readiness than Rubio to actually practise this. His numbers and initial win in Iowa and NH showing relative to his innate chances and coin spent ways he'due south the all-time value for donors to back.
Dissimilar Huckabee or Santy who could not go beyond Iowa to win the nod, Cruz is non similarly situated.
But literally every nominee either wins Iowa or NH or one of the 2. That means the nominee is likely to be Trump or Cruz, and nobody else. Clearly Cruz is the only sane option.
We have to coalesce behind CRUZ now, not later. Only ten days to become to SC, and if nosotros keep splitting the vote Trump wins. Then he likely loses in the Autumn except to perchance Sanders, and if he wins he volition non act similar a conservative so that'south also a loss.
We have to be pragmatic, and that ways not chasing after a hypothetical phantom over general election strength and to back the only one who tin can seriously challenge Trump and most importantly, in Time.
If all these particulars were reversed, I would have to back Rubio now instead of Cruz.
Instead, now on the stump in SC, Rubio is going after CRUZ.
All of them demand to go after TRUMP.
But the stupid party is gonna be stupid.
A crowded field means Donald wins. At the least, nosotros need Carly and others to drop out and dorsum CRUZ.
Trump loses probable if it'southward one on i, particularly confronting a Cruz. Even a 3 man race might give a shot if the residual exit.
All these people are helping their egos and not their country. This demagogue will not be stopped in time if we don't coalesce and we cannot wait until AFTER SC to do information technology safely.
I will support Rubio if he wins the nomination. But that won't matter since he'south already out of time, the only one left with a shot of the two who tin can practice it in Fourth dimension is Cruz, and then it'due south a moot bespeak. All Rubio tin practise now is split the vote and help Trump. There tin can only be one of these men heading into SC.
Persisting in a fantasy that we tin can go on winning individual states and somehow pull it out, for either Cruz or Rubio, will not likely work in the real globe once the momentum an inevitability meme kicks in full strength.
Either Cruz collapses and nearly all of his voters become to Rubio, or the reverse, simply they cannot divide it over 10 days and manus the vote and the nomination to Trump past losing SC. I recall all the evidence points to Cruz being given the nod by his numbers, his system, ground game, debate skills, etc. But we have decide and very fast.
Democrats go after who they want, ever left, without fear. Hither's one area where we could practise ourselves a favor and act in kind but in reverse. Of course, the problem is we are not equally right as the left is is left, and then nosotros see a continual march to socialism.
