Trump Wuz Robbed

“I’m at the point where I say give the whiny blovinator the nomination...”

Me too. Except even with me voting for Trump (and I will if it comes to that), he may still not win.

[nathanbedford]

[Trump has] so little regard for the unity or interests of his own party or is so clearly preparing to bring it down, like Samson at the temple of Dagon, if it doesn’t bend to his will.

Trump and his supporters will win the nomination and get slaughtered in the general election or they will lose the nomination and break the party apart. Either way, Trump will put Hillary in the White House. We will lose the Supreme Court, the Senate, perhaps even the House, and down ticket state offices without number.

Thus the Republican Party, the conservative movement, The Tea Party, ultimately our liberty and prosperity will all be sacrificed on the altar of Donald Trump's ego.

If the inconceivable happens, if Trump is actually elected president of the United States, we will shear away from any tether which remains to the Constitution and embark on a populist excursion into Donald Trump's ego. We will likely be cast into a severe economic recession or even depression as Trump mangles trade negotiations just as he has utterly mismanaged his campaign on the ground. Our vast federal bureaucracy will spin entirely out of control as Trump focuses ad hoc on small parts of it which strike his fancy and mismanages the rest. God knows what sort of Supreme Court Justices we will get, because Trump's midnight conversions on this and virtually every other important issue, is absolutely suspect and without plausible explanation. He will enrich one sector of the economy while he impoverishes another, all with detached connection to the Constitution and to representative government, but entirely at the whim of Donald Trump.

There is no need for any of us to sacrifice our self-respect for Donald Trump.

But when things go south, he'll just declare bankruptcy.

I find it very hard to take serious the predictions of a poster who lionizes a slaver, klansman and traitor who took up arms against the Constitution and was diametrically opposed to the tenets of a party he now claims to align himself with.

Spare me the rhetoric of states rights and battlefield tactician. It is not germane to the issue of whether Trump can succeed at what he claims he wishes to accomplish.

Poor Lowry. Wonder where he will go to cry when Trump is nominated?

[Old Retired Army Guy]

With his slick backed black hair and hook nose, he reminds me of a younger version of Grandpa in the Munsters.

[Velvet_Jones]

Why bother? You just post the same Cruznadians propaganda over and over again. Why waste time reading when we know what it says?

No matter. Creepy Ted will be mathematically eliminated on Tuesday, so you’ll really have no pretense after that other than “Stop Trump”

[nathanbedford]

I commend you to my about page where you can be disabused of your prejudgments of me and of Nathan Bedford Forrest.

In any event, it is once again necessary to remind a Trump supporter that it is not about me and it certainly is not about Nathan Bedford Forrest, it is about the glaring deficiencies in your man.

[LurkLongley]

The same as what?

Has everyone become completely unhinged?

A lifelong, truly conservative person is running and he’d be more of the same? We spent years looking for a candidate like Cruz, and a foul, loudmouth with a lifelong liberal political affiliations says a few things, and we’re ready to turn the country over to him?

Go ahead and burn it all down. I hope Il Duce will allow FR to continue so I can say, some of us knew, and we told you.

[mylife]

Well said.

[ripnbang]

No

... Cruz’s campaign hasn’t had a whisper of dissension, let alone had to go to bat for a staffer arrested for battery of a female reporter.

Rick Tyler fired by Cruz for getting caught in a lie. If he hadn't been caught, it would have been OK.

Rich Lowry, the pencil neck geek would be slapped silly on the street and THE RULES ARE RIGGED.

Colorado changed their rules in August of 2015 when they saw Trump leading the pack and didn't want to give the voters a say in the outcome.

That charade they called "voting" for delegates was pure BS.

Each candidate got 10 seconds to speak, ya think that wasn't pre-planned?

[LurkLongley]

Thanks. Sanity is sorely lacking around these parts lately.

[ripnbang]

A lifelong, truly conservative person is running and he’d be more of the same? We spent years looking for a candidate like Cruz...

And apparently the majority of the voters, thus far, didn't like or trust what they saw and heard.

[conservative_crusader]

The circumstances that Trump had to win the south affect quite a lot. When Trump won those states, there were 16 more candidates in the running, and Donald just so happened to be the dog on top of the pile. It’s a lot different now that there are just three left in the running. Trump may yet win, but don’t act like if the primaries were all held again with just the 3 candidates left that the results would be the same.

[conservative_crusader]

So? Should we vote for a candidate that Donald Trump owns? That seems like your going for Hillary.
