My Personal Moratorium On Trump v Cruz Arguments
vanity ^ | Jan 21, 2016 | vanity

Posted on 01/21/2016 7:45:35 AM PST by samtheman

As of now, and until after the Iowa Caucus, I will no longer engage in any Trump v Cruz arguments in FR. I just want to put this little vanity note up to make it clear that my silence does not mean I have given up.

I support Trump for President.

I support Palin for endorsing Trump.

Some of my reasons are on my about page.

I just do not have time to keep up. There is just too much going on both in my own life and here in FR. The barrage of anti-Trump posts is just wearying and I just cannot keep up with them all.

After the Iowa caucus things will have changed and I might get back into it.

But for now, I will not engage in any more arguments pro or con Trump or Cruz.

I know this post will be scoffed at, but I dont care. I just feel like doing it.

As for Iowa: Go Trump.

Kick butt in Iowa and I think the nomination is pretty much yours.

The barrage of anti-Trump posts

...pales if compared to the anti-Cruz posts.

I am for Cruz, but I sympathize with you. I’ll accept either as the nominee. I’m also tired of this carping back and forth between the Cruz and Trump factions. Let those two work it out.

My main purpose here is to keep that frigging Mexican Jeb Bush from getting the nomination and to keep Rubio sweating down in the ranks of losers where he belongs.

There's more than enough blame on both sides. It should stop.

Now there's something we should all be able to agree on!

Good..

It is time for all of us to remember who the true enemy is

Eric Cantor is busy over in Davis saying that Trump would be a disaster for the US. Sure thing Eric as if you and the establishment have been such a blessing

Probably a good idea.

How come a Trump used to stand up to Clinton aide Stephanopolous, but now takes Georgie’s advice.

I never saw a bigger 180 after Trump attacked Cruz.

Two Corinthians.

That's what I said.

...lasted about 10 mins.

I feel just the opposite:

The barrage of anti-Cruz posts is just wearying and I just cannot keep up with them all.

Bottom line...

I like Trump AND Cruz.

I think Cruz can help Trump with conservatrive government principles, and be a great VP setup for Pres. 8 years from now.

I think Trump will generate a HUGE TURNOUT that will help sweep in a lot of GOP and hold congress (both houses) in a way Cruz would not.

So, think ahead people. 16 years of no democrats winning a majority.

I have been agnostic on Trump versus Cruz. Both have good and bad qualities to me. I would vote for either of them as nominee. But I have not picked someone yet.

Amen. I could be happy with a Trump-Cruz ticket in either order. While it may make a certain amount of sense to question Trump’s sincerity given his past political history, it makes no sense at all just to be flinging poop back and forth.

I agree. It so saddens me to see this group at each other’s throats. We have good candidates and I believe they have our best interests at heart whoever they are. I will back our nominee. We can’t let the dems take the election. No. Matter. What.

I know how you feel. I like both Trump and Cruz. But this frenzy of attacks on Trump/Cruz/Palin/Coulter and others with a strong anti-amnesty stand makes this site feel like a left-wing site.

We will never get a perfect candidate. Right now the biggest problem to this country is immigration. I greatly admired Reagan and still do but his amnesty was a horrible mistake. There is much I like about Cruz but his handing out teddy bears to illegals and associating with crazy Beck is a definite minus point. I do not agree with everything Trump does, but he did an enormous favor to all of up by his rejection of PC, of opposing importing Syrians, etc. He dared to speak out and paved the way for discussion on these issues when nobody else did.

Palin was liked on this site. Suddenly when she endorses somebody who is not the #1 choice of some posters, and does it effectively, she is attacked in a manner that copies the attacks on her by the left and MSM.

True, we all have to get back to our vans down by the river. No time.

"The barrage of anti-Trump posts is just wearying and I just cannot keep up with them all."

Try making a statement questioning Trump's potential as a President and see wait for the incoming nasty that you will be hit with.

You'll feel worse than that son-of-a-bitch who gave Donald a microphone he didn't like.
