The 2016 GOP Primary has brought up an old divide in Conservatism. There currently is a war being waged between the Dogmatics and the Realists. The Dogmatist care nothing about political realities, only the purity of the candidates political dogma matters to them. The Realist understands you have to be able to advance the political ball down the field to achieve the goals of the dogma. The Realist understands some times a flawed tool is going work better then the flawlessly political pure tool.

I am not willing to die on a hill for the sake of conservative dogma. I will fight to make gains knowing that there will be casualties. But I am wary of the generational destruction that might result from marching with Sherman.

(...)we are a Constitutional Republic that rests on the notion that the people’s Representatives in Government know how to compromise and negotiate.

But if Trump fails to reach 1237, you oppose a contested convention, right?

"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that’s what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it."

Indeed. Reagan understood that. Reagan also understood that if you give up your most valued 20%, the 80% gain can quickly become a liability.

The winning candidate is, brace yourselves.... going to have to cut DEALS! And some times those deals require..compromise!!!

You mean like on immigration reform, entitlement reform, healthcare reform, and the debt ceiling? Because that is you will get with Donald Trump.

I suspect that the Trump supporters think the same thing about Cruz supporters. Passion for a candidate is laudable. Ignoring facts, or ad hominem attacks and characterization of people who disagree with you is unworthy of freepers. I always hope for better, but am often disappointed.

those “strong” men were also Constitutionalists, well except for TR. He was a progressive. If only we had a Reagan, Churchill, Lincoln. If only.

One more thing.. Look up this: Trump Adviser Compared US-Russia Policy to Slavery, Police Shootings..Energy investor Carter Page, one of Donald Trump’s handpicked foreign policy advisers, has heavily criticized what he considers American aggression toward Russia, even comparing U.S. policy to American slavery and high-profile police shootings. Page was also highly supportive of international climate talks in Paris last year, despite Republican concerns about international agreements that they say could hike energy prices and force American taxpayers to foot the bill for fossil fuel restrictions abroad. Neither Page nor the Trump campaign responded to requests for comment..............

Oh stop with that nonsense!

Trump talks about the Constitution ALL THE TIME/IN EVERY SPEECH !

The same is true about over regulations, red tape, and too much government interference.

It is obvious that YOU have NEVER listened to even one word that Trump has uttered. You're a mendacious little git,. spewing specious crap.
