Trump is a long way from Romney. Romney was GOP and Trump is anti-GOP as is Cruz. Building the wall, sending illegals back were not Romney platforms. Trump is closer to Cruz and Sessions than the GOP.

You can win ugly or lose graciously and many here would rather lose graciously.

Trump has a liberal past and, in fact, told "Morning Joe" in July that some of his positions are those of a Democrat. Every week or so, despite mouthing his new-found "conservatism", something he says or does reveals the Democrat beneath the facade. Look at the links posted here by cripplecreek, showing him pandering to the ethanol subsidies and wind subsidies (!) crowd.

Trump is the exact opposite of Cruz, a solid Christian whose touchstone is the Constitution. Has Trump ever read the Constitution? Ever mentioned it? There's simply no comparison between the two men. At all.

Unless we put a conservative in the White House, what have we won, exactly? Some of us never learn, though. For three years out of the cycle, we give lip service to conservative principles, but then election year rolls around, and we peel off and support the "electable" guy...you know, like Dole, McCain, and Romney.

But maybe you agree with the Trump supporter who told me that winning is the only principle he cared about.
