It’s been amazing watching everyone attack Donald Trump. Republican candidates can count on mild attacks from fellow GOP opponents with the vicious stuff coming from the media and the democrats, but Trump is getting the vicious stuff from everyone.

My thoughts at this stage of the 2016 race is that the republican party will get what it deserves, which is to say, it does not deserve another establishment candidate. The thought of Jeb Bush as POTUS makes me cringe as much as the thought of Hillary. Obamacare would stay in place, amnesty would be rammed down our throats, Iran would still get the bomb, and the status quo of DC cronyism would continue, basically the same thing a Hillary presidency would look like. So what is the option?

Cruz is my best bet with Rand Paul coming in a close second, Rubio is flawed due to his Gang of Eight membership so I don’t trust him. Trump on the other hand is a wrecking ball, which I think is a good thing. Now Trump may be a wolf in sheeps clothing, saying whatever it takes to get elected, but so did 99.9% of the republicans we voted into office in ’14, and what do we have to show for it?

People say that Trump can’t win the general election against Hillary or whoever, I think they’re wrong and here is why. Obama won a popularity contest, it was him against Hillary, he was the new kid in town and the useful idiots along with low info voters fell in love with the image. It had nothing to do with his accomplishments, his was an affirmative action presidency, he was the liberal voters prince. Same thing in 2012, if he does not win re-election the experiment of the first black POTUS would be considered a failure so regardless all of his scandals and incompetence he was re-elected. It was a shocking reality for me personally, I didn’t think there was a chance in hell Obama would be re-elected, but that is how far down the rabbit hole we have slid, which brings us to Trump.

He has massive name recognition, fans of his television show cross the political spectrum, if it’s him against Hillary the low info voters will go Trump on name recognition only, and he has tapped into the voting block that stayed home for Romney. If it becomes a popularity contest, Trump wins because of his image, and if you think the black vote will go for Clinton your crazy, they will go Trump or stay home, my guess is they stay home. The hispanic vote could go to anyone but Trump, but that won’t decide the election, it’s the crossover vote that Trump gets because…well….he’s pop culture.

I don’t care how arrogant, crass, egotistical, or blow hard he gets, in my humble opinion, the GOP gets what it deserves. I would prefer Cruz, Paul, or even Carly, but I am the conservative voter who is pissed off enough at establishment republicans that I would vote Trump just to pay the lying bastards back for their failure to do what they campaigned on.
