..I do not support his choice, but for those who say clergy cannot endorse candidates, they need to start with racially charged leftist churches like AME—who have done it
for half a century...

You’ve got to be kidding me.

If Trump is the nominee, people will stay home just like they did with Romney....which is exactly what Trump and Hillary would love to see.

So now Republicans are doing the Dems dirty work and fighting amongst each other about which group is more ‘righteous’

Unbelievable.

BTW - I’m not electing a Pastor or a spiritual leader. I have those. I’m not looking for a lover or someone I can consider a friend to vote for. I, and tens of millions of other Americans, are electing a President.

Not good enough for the perfects. We all get that. Loud and clear.

Prove any bribe. Bribes are illegal. Prove Trump has done such. You can’t prove your own assertion.

Hopefully they will put more stock in their Bible than what Falwell says

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

You have seen how HUUGE the Trump rallies are? You think all those folks will stay home?

Because Democrats have numbers on their side. Democrats vote for D , unless and until some really good candidate shows up. Bush went to court. With Cruz, Hillary will clean slate.

GOP are too picky or stupid, they go for purity etc and comes out loser.

"Since when do we, as conservatives have to give up on our principles for the sake of winning?"

We don't. But until we can find a conservative candidate with a pleasant personality and charisma, we are just pissing into the wind.

Then, as in the last two presidential elections, the true conservatives sit out the election and allow the liberal to win. Do not allow that to happen again. Yeah, Trump has some warts, but so did Churchill.

Churchill had a lot of 'em. He still was a great leader.

Yes, we do! We need to get rid of PC talk and take action against our enemies.

I am just waiting for the day when the same evangelicals start talking about how the President isn’t doing anything about gay marriage or abortion.
The idiocy in that statement is a President can't do anything about them, nor should he.

What would Cruz do? Follow Obama's lead in making laws with executive orders?

If I recall, several of his rallies have started with a Pray and the Pledge of Allegiance. It usually isn’t covered in any of the videos as it happens well before Trump starts speaking.

It will be an interesting election, but I see a lot of disgruntled people eventually supporting whoever the nominee ends up being.

If it’s Cruz, I’ll support him. If it’s Trump, I’ll support him. Rubio, Paul, Huckabee, etc.

I will support my hound dog over Mrs Clinton, Sanders, OMalley, Biden...

Exactly.

That’s why Cruz isnt talking about the issue at all.

That ship sailed when “true conservatives” though that all you needed was to toss bible verses at gay people and that was going to make them back off.
