Conservative Republican Movement Is Brain Dead
London Telegraph ^ | April 4th, 2016 | reasonmclucus

Conservative Republicans support for Sen. Ted Cruz indicates that the conservative movement is brain dead. If Cruz is the best candidate they can find, then conservatives obviously have nothing to offer. Cruz may be the only Republican presidential aspirant who is dumber than Hillary Clinton.

Can we get the narrative out of the freaking bedroom. This is crap when Trump followers post this nonsense and equally as unnecessary when anti-Trump supporters post this bs.

“but if Cruz is the epitome of conservatives then I must be something else.”

Must be.

Wow, a STUPID blog post by some random anonymous fool who likely has an IQ two standard deviations BELOW Ted Cruz’ IQ — and the anonymous fool claims Cruz is stupid.

It’s telling that you not only posted this screed, but apparently actually believe it.

Cruz fails to be a nationalist and is not really pro American on the economic front.

Adopting the term “conservative” was a mistake in the first place. What are the conserving? Conservatives don’t even know. From a marketing perspective is a poor choice - it is a term a loser picks as it does not signal positive action. The Republicans should have just called themselves the “Bad Brakes” party because they only seem to slow things down and they cannot steer us in a different direction. The GOP is satisfied by playing gatekeeper and getting paid to stand out of the way of every theft of freedom. They are playing pimp to us whores.

Conservatism MUST attract all patriots, populists and nationalists to win. ONLY Trump can do this.

I agree. Trump, under the Republican banner (whether they like it or not) has been the only one to "expand the tent", whereas the GOPe definition of expanding the tent had to do with ordering Rove a new bathrobe.

Restore the Constitution?

Anyone serious about that would not have justified the Chicago Riot denying Trump and his followers their First amendment rights.

When La Raza, the Illegals, the Black LIARS Matter morons, MoveOn and other Leftist creeps attacked Trump, Cruz blamed Trump.

That alone showed me Cruz is not to be trusted.

government interference,

Tariffs and protectionism are legitimate functions of the Federal government. More tariffs. Less income taxes.

Cruz can be criticized for a lot of things, but dumb he is not. Please post this crap on DU where it belongs.

Cruz and Obama are very similar in style, substance and resume. Ideologically opposed but similar in many other aspects.

Hey! F*** you!

I'm sure the headline writer will take one look at this soaring achievement in intellectual rhetoric and instantly realize just how wrong he is....

I think they’re boycotting everything else.

They’re now reduced to progressive propaganda, skeezy blogs and tabloids.

Ted combines Hillary Clinton’s integrity with Bill Clinton’s zipper control.

The term “conservative” has lost its meaning, being hijacked by the same political and financial interests that infiltrate and subvert every other ideological group.

Leto please tell us what your definition of conservative is? From what I can tell it means nothing. The GOPe have obliterated any positive meaning it might have once had. I want to be a patriot because patriots fight. For all that I can tell the term “conservative” might be the term used for erectile dysfunction. “Conservatism” just doesn’t work when you really need it and it invites ridicule.

I’d vote for Nigel Farage over any of our bozos currently running.

Farage and UKIP are treated as a fringe party. Ever listen to comedy shows on the (state sponsored) BBC? They ceaselessly mock UKIP. Farage and UKIP will never have a chance in the UK.

Yeah, I realize Ted Cruz is nowhere near as brilliant or accomplished as say Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, both of whom have thick resumes and impeccable records.

Several Trump called for attacking disrupters.
(I can spoon feed you links if you’re too lazy)

THAT is why Cruz blamed Trump.
