Here is my question to you Trump people who thinks everyone who doesn't support Trump is GOPe. I have heard a number of you say you would NEVER support Cruz. Don't need to hear the reasons just you won't support him. Does that make you GOPe?

I have run a campaign for Alan Keyes in Iowa in 1996. The most anti-GOPe guy that year. I have always supported the most conservative guy. So if I went to the convention and supported Cruz would that make me GOPe?

I think there are two issues.
1) There are some people who would never support Trump.
2) There are some GOPe people who hate Trump AND Cruz.

I think you need to recognize that some conservatives don't support Trump because he is not conservative. That does not make them GOPe.

Campaigning to fast track the most lawless POTUS in histories trade agenda is not “conservative”. Voting to bust the treaty clause is not conservative. Writing a Senate amendment to massively increase the broken H-1B program is not conservative. Punting on Lawrence v. Texas is not pro family conservatism. Etc., Etc.

Ted Cruz is a careerist politician and conservative of convenience. When it advances his career he is with us. When it doesn’t, we are SOL.
