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.

Now that’s just b/s. Most of the people here love Cruz and his constitutional conservative positions, but so far he’s not doing so well with the people. If Cruz suddenly starts doing a lot better in the polls, most FReepers would jump on board in a heartbeat. However, in the meantime, it’s critical that we don’t trash our leading candidates and get stuck with Bush or Rubio. How soon we forget how we were stuck with McCain and Romney as our “conservative” nominee.
Cruz is still my favorite for this election, but if Trump gets it, I’ll be all in Trump!
No way will I just walk away (like TBBT here) and allow my country to go down the drain with Hillary or Sanders.
Those who push that nonsense might as well leave now. If not voting is Redstate’s official policy, then screw them.
I have no disdain for conservatives, I am one.
Re read my post and put your knee back in its socket.
Trump and Hillary? First: As people, citizens, candidates they aren’t even REMOTELY comparable. Second: We have a Culture that supports baby-killing and Sodomy on a massive scale and as Rights. We deserve pain and we are going to get plenty
He means “conservatives” like McCain, Romney, et al. Though I did end up voting for both trying to keep Obama out.
WELL THEN WE ALL KNOW you wouldn’t mind a HILLARY treason POTUS, say what ever you will about Trump Hillary has put our moles, and special forces OP’s missions in GRAVE DANGER, so go sit home and GROW UP a few notches while your at it!!!!
Red Star is hell bent on giving us Bernie
Well even though I regard Trump as a complete flake and definitely not a conservative (and has no principles except what advances Donald Trump) I WILL vote for him if he is the nominee because I would rather take a chance on him than what Hillary or Sanders would definitely do to my beloved country. I’m just hoping Cruz can somehow overtake Trump.
I still can’t believe Trump said Cruz is worse than Hillary. The man just says whatever pops into his head without thinking.
Better dead than red...
Nice zotting.
You've gotta love the boss!
Thank you very much.
Thank you Jim!!!
I love it!!!!!!! Trumper: “It will be amazing! I have lots of friends that are pro ZOT! They are amazing people! I’ll make the RINOS pay for their own ZOTS to, just like Mexico will pay for the big azz wall I’m goona build! I know the ‘Art of the ZOT’ very well!” If Trumper get’s in, there damn well is gonna be a more than a few RINOS that get well desreved ZOTS.
Can’t adhere to your own advice? Shame, shame.
Please enlighten me.
I here the generator spooling up. Voltage is almost there.....
I am sick of it. And the ‘owner,’ blasts all who can’t play nice. Like him. Right. Apparently, playing nice only means playing one way.
Have fun watching Trump sail to victory from the sidelines....
Add me to the list. Ban me. I am confident you will have support from someone in the future your modern Mussolini no doubt - but it won’t be from conservatives.
FR used to be the premier conservative site. No longer.
We’ve already had to “Eat our peas!” This is the primary, you can be alittle passionate about your candidate, but when the votes have been tallied everyone goes with the nominee. (Unless it is a GOPe establishment uniparty member)!
