Trump is at the top of the polls, and that may not change. Nevertheless, he will not receive my support. I am rather tired of a screeching establishment requiring that we support whomever is the current frontunner, and telling us we need to "get in line", like robots. That kind of talk is groupthink, much like Obamamania. It has no place in conservatism.
Trump is the kind of candidate who appeals to base emotions and the thirst for popular appeal. We should never treat candidates as celebrities. But increasingly, we do. I once thought that those on our side of the aisle were better than liberals in that we don't vote based on mindless, superficial reasons that got the similarly resume-challenged disaster known as Barack Obama into office. But unsurprisingly, we're just as capable of the same failure to treat the election process seriously.

Someone says they can’t support Trump, and you zot them? And you claim you are for either Trump or Cruz?
Right.
Still is. Bye.
Another Free Traitor™ bites the dust.
No, he said he wouldn’t vote if Trump is the nominee. Sheer lunacy. Those who would not fight to save our country from Hillary or Sanders can KMA! Bye.
Trump may not be a star conservative and is not my first choice, but neither was Bush, Dole, McCain, Romney, et al.
But I crawled over broken glass to vote for them against the commies.
Defeatism sickens me.
I completely agree, Jim.
Perhaps you can try wording your posts in a more logical, understandable manner?
I dislike McCain and Romney also but I also voted for them trying to keep Obama out.
I’m the first to admit I’m not the best with my writing skills.
The written word is often easily misconstrued, I do try and do my best though.
One thing I have found though, is that clarification only takes a couple of back and forth posts, as we just illustrated here.
Hear Hear!
Cruz is my first pick, and Trump does have some questionable things in his past, but if he's the nominee, I will vote for him over any of the commie dems.
I wore a gas mask the last two times I voted in the Presidential Election.
I hear you. :)
I’ll take Trump or Cruz.
If somebody can bulldoze the brush that’s been choking
up the property for decades, I sure ain’t going to bitch
about what make of bulldozer he uses.
OK what does ZOT mean?
The bulldozer guys employees appreciate it, too. As does the grocer where Mrs Bulldozer markets.

Let me be the first, well said!
I’m sick of politicians.
