My problem with Trump isn’t what he is saying. I like what he is saying.

My problem is I don’t trust him. He is a meglomaniac. Donald Trump is his #1 priority. All the sudden he is the great Conservative spokesperson, yet he has never been a real Conservative. Just 6 years ago he was a Democrat. He has given money equally to Democrats and GOPe Republicans. I really feel he will just be another George W Bush like Republican at best.

Cruz is the only proven Conservative in this race for me.

Who is George Will referring to? This “conservative party”?!??

Certainly not the current GOPe/RINO party in power!

What a boat load of male cow dung. I never knew there was a conservative party.

The only one he’s kidding is the GOPe.

So, what difference does it make? It’s not like we have a real Conservative Party now. If the GOP disappears tomorrow, would anybody really care? They’re all liberal Democrats anyway.

I wasn’t aware that the GOP was Conservative anymore.

They despise the Tea Party, fiscal conservatives, and have caved to the Democrats on Obamacare, Immigration, Planned Parenthood, Pork, etc.

The only success I see is the failure to pass any significant gun control.

Other than that, not much to see.

The USA is about playing a lottery ticket when it comes to Trump....spin the dial and hope for the best.....fully ready to take a gamble at any cost.

The Art of ‘the Con’ ...showmanship is not statesmanship....but it sure looks like this election is an exercise in emotional vindication for a man who is a liar, a bad bet business partners, and wives, among others..... “But he speaks his mind!” shout the Trumpenators.....easiy forgetting you don’t get into Trump’s game without being a creature of the ruling class.

So Will is endorsing Cruz ?


You have asked the most perplexing question for the GOP establishment for the 2016 election.

In 2016, a Trump nomination would not just mean another Democratic presidency. It would also mean the loss of what Taft and then Goldwater made possible — a conservative party as a constant presence in U.S. politics.

What? We have a "conservative" party as a constant presence in U.S. politics? Who knew!!??

The only conservative nominated since Barry Goldwater was Ronald Reagan. The GOP establishment totally trashed Goldwater and then they tried to stop Reagan. Every other one nominated was a "moderate". How did that work out for "conservatives"? The GOP establishment has done nothing for 50 years but trash conservatives all up and down the ballot.

Whatever Georgie is smokin', I want some o' dat!

My husband just read the headline and said, “What ‘conservative’ party? There hasn’t been a conservative party for years.”

We have a conservative party now that rolls over to Democrat name calling. And a conservative party that isn’t an opposition party is worse than useless.

No problem. It is time to either clean house or initiate a new party. Lincoln and Reagan would be appalled!!

The GOP hasn’t been conservative for 20 years. So Trump would mark the rise of a real conservative nationalist party.
