You’re screwed. The only thing the trumpeters know how to do is attack the messenger. You will get virtually no substantive responses....no matter how accurate your thoughts!

do not expect a single response defending what you mention above....but your motives, your ties to Rove, your mama, and everything else will be fair game.

Who do you prefer over Trump?

I looked through your post and I didn’t see any alternatives put forth.

Yeah, Rove loves Cruz (/sarcasm). If that’s all the Trump folks do, maybe some Lurkers will decide for Cruz.

When I say “All of them”, I mean the candidates, Cruz included.

Why does who he prefer matter to the substantive issues with trumps candidacy? He could cite Jesus Christ as his candidate and it wouldn’t change the fact the the trumpsters would attack them both AND fail to dispute anything in the article.

I think right now, we have the most conservative Senator in decades running, a brilliant legal mind motivated by a faith-based constitutionalism. But I didn’t want the focus to be on what’s wrong with candidate so-and-so.

Uh... there’s not even a link to a blog, so how am I pimping a blog? Blog pimps make you click a link to read a story, so they get hits.

I am a conservative and will vote for the most conservative candidate in the primary and in the election. Right now, I am leaning towards Cruz. I will work for Cruz, man phones, and volunteer for his campaign.

I will not do the same for Trump. However, if the general election comes down to Trump vs any Democrat, I will hold my nose and vote for him.

Trump is destroying both Political Correctness and the stranglehold of the MSM and this is something I thought I would never see in my lifetime. Like the Cold War ending I thought the PC leftest world was here to stay. Trump tore down that psychological wall of lies, and it can never be rebuilt!

He may hold positions that you disagree with but remember, he is not establishment. Another benefit he is showing young Republicans, Tea Party types how to do it, how to man handle the Media. All of this is priceless and unexpected and a real blessing.

Enjoy the ride and stop the hand wringing, it is unbecoming.

Because it is not about Socialist vs. Capitalist any more. It is about Elitist vs. Populist.

Most of his positions look to be Populist. Somewhere along the way he appears to have rejected the Elitism side of politics. I suppose once you get F.U. Money, you are freed from some of the shackles of the establishment -- and he most definitely has F.U. Money.

The political battleground has changed drastically in the last 20-30 years. It is now Elitist vs. Populist. That is why you see so many Republicans acting so inexplicably oddly. It is also why Trump is so popular, with crossover appeal.

The Elitists have very VERY bad plans for us. Erasure of nations, removal of all defensive weaponry from the populace, thought-control (literally), and gross depopulation (probably on the birth side, I think they learned from Hitler / Stalin / Pol Pot how bad it goes on the other side).

I freely admit I could be wrong. This could be the best acting job since Heath Ledger's "Joker". This is a bit of a dice-throw for me. While I would prefer Cruz, Trump has a large lead. So I will toss the dice on Trump. Best to toss the dice, than to submit to the Globalist/Elitist world paradigm.

The thing that informs me that it is likely not an act, is the response of the Elitists. They threw Jeb, Rubio, and Carson at us. They tried to smear Trump in every way. They are planning to split us with Cruz by inflating his polls.

Those are not the actions of a people who want Trump to be the nominee.

He was conducting business, plain and simple. Those that refuse to play suffer financially, both personally and their employees as well.

Maybe you support failure, but bragging rights to the moral high ground over success.

He gave to both sides of the snake pit, and freely admits it. He is the BEST candidate to change things, as he, alone, knows how to achieve success.

Cruz is a socialist?

Fine, hold your breath for the perfect candidate. Cruz is light years ahead of any other candidate and would move us back up the slippery slope away from the abyss.
