Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
me brain

Posted on 03/25/2016 4:02:36 PM PDT by dirtboy

Who would have thought?

Jeb Bush spent $120 million and got knocked out.

Rubio - knocked out.

All the RINOs - gone except one and he is trailing with no chance of winning.

The two anti-GOPe candidates control the path to Cleveland. And what is happening?

We are pissing away our golden opportunity by turning on each other.

If you are for Cruz, please promote Cruz.

If you are for Trump, please promote Trump.

But for God's sake, please turn away from the increasingly bitter feud between the two camps.

This insanity has to stop. Or else the GOPe will find a way to undo the majority we have woven because we are too busy fighting each other.

Please, please, please - keep your powder dry for the real enemy - the GOPe and Hillary.

And pull your punches against the folks here who should be your allies.

Thank you. We are all being savagely manipulated and the trolls are having a field day among us.

The fish rots from the head down (Dukakis)
and in this case, every dirty trick, every nasty lie,
every backstab traces to Cruz, Romney and Rubio.

It’s stupid.

While I believe many are in the “Winning!” camp, I feel they have abandoned their conservative views and aspirations.

Doesn’t make you a bad guy or me a good guy...just guys.

Maybe Trump will turn out all right but, I was comfortable with the debate being over ideas.

Not that the idiotic debates were of any help and the puerile aspect of them were born and promoted by the enemedia, which Fox has clearly joined.

Well said.

I fear that the chances of HIllary being the next president grow by the day. And it’s not because Hillary has become so popular or has come up with brilliant plans for the future which voters are engaged with. It’s all due to the Republicans battling each other and hurting the chances of the party uniting behind the nominee.

At this point, whoever the nominee is, some big groups of Republicans are going to be pissed off. And that only plays into the hands of Hillary and Obama and Democrats.

All of you, ask yourselves, would you really rather see Hillary become president, to make a political statement against those Republicans you are currently battling in this nomination battle??? Really????

How do you know they are the two ‘anti-GOPe’ candidates?

Well, I feel pretty safe in thinking that Cruz and Trump won’t be appearing on stage together at the convention.

Because we know who the GOPe wanted all along. And it was not Cruz nor Trump.

GOPE tells Cruz and Trump:

"LET'S YOU AND HIM FIGHT!"
The manipulation is so obvious. As soon as the GOPe turned to 'help' CRuz he and Trump are in a mudfight. What a coincidence...

How does all of that justify the effort to unlawfully run a Canadian born candidate?

“If you are for Cruz, please promote Cruz. If you are for Trump, please promote Trump. But for God’s sake, please turn away from the increasingly bitter feud between the two camps.”

Right you are, dirtboy. I hope FReepers will listen to you. It has really been poisonous lately. Let the candidates lay out and defend the specifics of their proposals and let the primary voters see which candidate can more likely return us to liberty and prosperity.

I thought about that too.

The GOPe is co-opting the conservative wing, to oust Trump.

But the Trump wing combined with the Cruz/conservative wing would oust the GOPe, and the GOPe know it and it scares them.

I posted basically the same thing on another thread.

The two ass hats better burry the hatchet somewhere else than in each other and grow up. Enough of the school boy crap. There are much bigger fish to fry and Hitlary is going to get the demodummie nomination, it is SHE they have to beat.

At this point, it does NOT look like Cruz will have enough delegates to cross the line ahead of Trump and others are doing what ever they can to stop Trump from getting to that same finish line. So Boys, put your heads together and coordinate your efforts, you both can win and share in the victory if only you would get you sh$t together. Do IT Dammit!

Admittedly it’s starting to get me down, but heck in 2008 we were sure that Clinton/Obama were going to leave the Dems split for good.

So nothing is permanent.

It’s just so freakin maddening that you guys are falling for the biggest trap designed by the establishment, the Liberals along with soros billions! They are succeeding in destroying two birds with one stone! I cannot honestly believe that you guys are that gullible!! QUIT THIS CRAP!!!!....And unite so that we can destroy these bastards!!. If we do not do this I am afraid it is going to be madame President, that alone should scare the excrement outta all of us!! But if you keep falling into their trap I’m afraid they are indeed succeeding extremely extremely well! A house divided cannot stand...DIVIDED WE FALL, UNITED WE STAND!! Remember that instead of slitting each other’s throat! NOW STOP THIS CHIT!!!!!!!

Well, they have lost me.
I will be voting this fall for someone. Anyone except Cruz or Trump.
Funny thing at one time, I thought either of them would make a good president.

Got me.

I made the case years ago that if Obama were not NBC then Cruz or Rubio couldn’t be either...

I like what one poster posited a few weeks ago:
Prince Hashim bin Hussein of Jordan Mother Was Born In America Is He Eligible to Be PRESIDENT of AMERICA?

Trump offers Cruz the VP slot.

He then tells Cruz, “Hey Ted, I’ll be 74 years old at the end of my first term. You run with me as VP, I’ll decline to run for a 2nd term and you’ll be the “man” for the 2020 election.”

This is what SHOULD happen.
