I don't think Conservatives even know what conservatism is anymore. There is nothing to conserve if we have no borders, and it may shock some to learn that the GOP leadership have no love for conservatives in the party.
You’re not allowed to say that because The Donald is the next Reagan. Probably more conservative than any of the founding fathers. Perot er I mean Trump will pick originalist scholars that will be Yuge.
I remember the days - not very many years ago - when many Freepers approvingly gave the title “magnificent bastard” to Karl Rove. Now, he’s just considered an ordinary bastard. Times have changed, and I am ill-at-ease with what’s going on.
What went wrong is that the GOPe became so odious that for some this has become personal and smacking them has become an end in of itself.
Elections are often more about voting against than voting for. They are voting against the GOPe and they see Trump as the best chance to give them the smackdown.
Absolutely. I was at the first Tea Party Rally in Virginia Beach on April 15, 2009. The folks there were Republicans, Independents and completely unaffiliated. Some folks I talked to had no idea if they were liberal or conservative, they didn't know how to define either but they were angry and scared about America's future.
I am not sure you want to say that because today Trump is in the process of selling you out. Trump is now bragging that the establishment is joining onto his campaign, Trump is now saying the problem in Washington is the gridlock which he will solve by making lots of deals. Finally, just this morning Trump minimized Hillary’s illegal activities by saying that the Cruz campaigns minor paperwork error was worse. You still sure you want Trump to keep going the way he is going?
Probably. The Founders were revolutionary's, remember?
Ted Cruz is the best candidate to run for President we’ve had since 1984.
Never heard of the guy...looked up his bio, and his day job is as a city councilman in some little town in Minnesota. He needs to get out more.
THAT is the BIGGEST reason I prefer Cruz over Trump. I can't help but think of past Rino prez’s who've nominated liberal wolves in sheep's clothing. I truly don't believe Cruz would be capable of that. but Trump, who knows?
Trump isn't even in office and YOU claim he is selling me out?
Re>Trump is now bragging that the establishment is joining onto his campaign
Everyone is starting to jump on his bandwagon.
Re>Trump is now saying the problem in Washington is the gridlock which he will solve by making lots of deals
Well Trump knows how to make a deal. I guess you are just use to BAD deals which our Republican Congress has made.
re>Finally, just this morning Trump minimized Hillary’s illegal activities
Trump has said almost every time I have heard him talk that Hillary should be in jail.
“Between Cruz and Trump on this issue there is no comparison. “
Exactly! Trump said his sister would make a good SC justice and she’s a liberal kook!
One last reply to you. Cruz (I am not against the man) BUT he was not born on American soil. The Constitution matters to me.
Nah. The tea party was never about conservatism. It was about populist ideals. A lot of people finally had their eyes opened yesterday.
No point in trying to reason with the herd of hyenas.
Since they have appointed themselves as the guardians of conservativism, if you support Trump you’re an “unbeliever”.
Watch this clip where he is attacking Cruz and then at the end says that Cruz’s action were worse than Hillary’s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NtpbWK5Kdg
So you like taxes?
Litmus tests for Tea Party identification. great.
