I’m getting to the point where I think Trump admirers are thinking. I have never met anybody more right-wing/traditionalist/libertarian/constitutionalist/patriotic than me. About two days ago I decided Trump wasn’t what I was looking for. I’m thinking long term. I’ve decide to support Cruz. He’s a true conservative. Trump brought some good qualities & I love his immigration stance, but Cruz has proven himself in votes, stances, proclomations, etc. Trump isnt behaving very respectfully. His followers charge anybody other than them as being “establishment”. Their wrong & doing that isn’t going to win votes. It pushes people who are conservative sympathetic completely away. Wake up. Let’s run a real conservative like Cruz :)

If so, he won't change his mind because he regrets insulting Muslim Americans -- no small number of whom, unlike Trump, have served in the military

You mean Muslim Americans like these fine fellows?

Hasan Akbar (aka Mark Fidel Kools) who turned on his fellow soldiers, killing two and wounding 15. (2003)

Hasan Nidal, who murdered 14 (including an unborn baby) and wounding 30 at a Fort Hood (yelling Allahu Akbar). (2009)

Naser Jason Abdo, near Fort Hood, arrested with an unregistered firearm and allegedly planning to attack a restaurant frequented by soldiers from the base. (2011)

I do have a problem with Trump supporters who jump on every thread screaming about polls, polls and polls.

Boy, I do hope I get the chance to gloat and be obnoxious, too! If Cruz starts leading every poll... you can bet your sweet bippy I am going to savor some righteous gloating!!!

Trump supporters--buckle up, oil your scroll wheel and get out your fly swatters because when Cruz is on top I'm going to savor every second of it! :p neener

Phew! No shame in my game...nope.

People will want to throttle me because I will be an annoying braggart. Almost as good as Trump himself!

Those can be nasty stains.

If he is a good businessman, why did he invest in multi level marketing?

Ponzi scheme?

Like Social Security?

I’m thinking long term.

I was in the LAST election and got vilified for it; along with many other FR folk.

The destination of a person's eternal soul is a higher value for me than whether we have a Socialist/Marxist as POTUS.


A deceived (or deceiving), un-discerning Mormon is DEFINITELY not going to get MY vote; no matter whether Mom's apple pie is selected as America's favorite after-dinner treat, and Lake Woebegone is the heartland's most likely-to-vacation-there spot and children wake up every morning and praise Ronald Reagan and obey BOTH their heterosexual parents in ALL things!

Not if they threaten to take their donation money to FR and leave.
