Just heard that this morning Lindsay Graham will come out and endorse JEB (no last name). This could be a real game changer in this race.
I’m still in the column to reluctantly vote for Trump if Cruz doesn’t get the nomination, but I have to say that the Trump cheerleading here on FR is picking away at that decision every day.
Either that or claim it's the "principled" thing to do by not "settling" (funny but they never seem to be aware that they are actually settling for the lowest possible POS by paving the way for the Left).
Pogo had our side pegged...
If Trump is our nominee, I’ll vote for him - simply because Hillary or Sanders are a significantly worse option.
But I have serious concerns about his conservative bona fides (sp?) as well as his electability. As long as I have a choice before he’s the nominee, I’ll vote for someone else.
Because who else ya gonna vote for?
(It's nice to ask the establishment schlubs that question for a change)
I’d vote for him, so long as his pivot for the general doesn’t carry betrayal with it. He’s stated that he will run as a conservative, and up until now, I’ve given him the benefit of the doubt.
Picking my preference for his running mate (Cruz) would also be a HUGE reassurance. Trump’s not my first pick, but I’ve noticed that they could work well together.
If Cruz isn’t viable in the primary by the time the process gets to my state, I’m voting Trump over any of the establishment squishes. Rubio, Jeb, Christie, Kasich.. all non-options in my book.
One more thread where tagline is appropriate. Teaching the GOPe a lesson has worked so well for our country, hasn’t it?
My money is on a private protection plan courtesy of the new Black Panthers and the Muslim Brotherhood.
I support Sen Cruz and will work hard to not only get him nominated but elected. Trump, eh not so much. But I can hold my nose and vote for him in the general if he is the nominee.
“Wehner lays out many criticisms of the Republican front-runner, and I cannot but agree with them. “He would be the most unqualified president in American history,” he says. Indeed. Compared with Trump, Barack Obama was a political veteran when he was elected to the presidency.”
“and I cannot but agree with them???
That is about as far as I got reading that article. “Compared with Trump, Barack Obama was a political veteran when he was elected to the presidency.”
Anyone who thinks that Obama’s political experience was valid, or positive for the country, is a fool. If these people think that a man who builds an empire such as Trump has and who was sought after by these “veteran” politicians is merely a political neophyte are, again, fools. His unusually successful business experience means he is accustomed to getting things done, as opposed to politicians, who are accustomed to posturing and trolling for votes.
I noticed Cruz and some others last night. Evidently, political experience is not what I am looking for, personally.
Cruz is still my guy, but I like Trump and would gladly vote for him, if for no other reason than it would be sooo nice to once again have a President who loves America.
This is the Dewey wing against the Taft wing all over again.
That’s what it always is. You cannot ever trust the Dewey wing with the White House.
The same reason I’d vote for Jeb if need be, because Hillary’s withered hoohah must never again darken the White House.
