That why you “never Trump” supporters have no credibility you thrown around the term “fascist” as fast and loose as every demagoguing leftist does.... pure left-wing tactics...

any conservatives know this is same old demagoguing BS we’ve heard for years.... just because you’re doing it claiming it’s from the right it doesn’t change it

do you think you have any more credibility now that your a Glenn Beck school alinskyite?

“If the people want to elect a fascist I absolutely will do everything I can to stand in the way. You do realize that the founders actually set up our government in a way that was supposed to moderate the opinions of the masses which they feared.”

Oh will you knock it off, Drama Queen.

There isn’t any boogieman Fascists running, no matter how much you dont like Trump, or wish Cruz had the support he has.

“The latest threat – holding a brokered convention, in which establishment leaders would determine the nominee, could very easily backfire.”

A few prominent Repubs have already said that they ‘would be more comfortable’ with sHrillary than with Trump.

I’m just flabbergasted that they think the will get away with denying the voters. I know they’d rather hand the White House to Hillary, but they won’t like what happens down ticket.

"But one thing is for sure; it won’t be what we’ve gotten thus far."

The people who were in college and just out of college when the Regan Revolution took place put their noses to the grindstone because the Republicans promised that the game had changed and they'd make sure it stayed that way.

Well, thirty years later and they're old enough to be tossed out of their job on their ear because an H1-B Visa holder from Vietnam or India will work for half as much or be told that moving their job overseas is far more profitable than having their tired old butt on the payroll for anything near a living wage.

The same people backing Mr. "Principled Conservative" just happen to be the same people who didn't squeeze Obama's tender parts to force a repeal of BarryCare or even pass a bill that would do so until the primaries started this year.

If that's not an obvious rigged game they figure the suckers are stupid enough to smile and keep playing what is ? Mr Principled Conservative, he's got one Principle and it's named Ted Cruz. Everything else is a very distant second at best.

Personally I think this is all a tempest in a teapot. The GOPe are not going to steal the nomination from Trump. He will either walk into the convention with 1237 delegates or have negotiated deals to flip non committed delegates to him on the first ballot to keep it from going to a second ballot. Trump is very very smart and he’s always one to three moves ahead of the press and his opponents.

Trump. He is sending out all kinds of fascist vibes, its just that his supporters are too blind to see them.

This fascist stuff is complete bunk. Trump is advocating nothing like any type of fascism let alone sending out vibes whatever that means.

Trump isn't blaming any group that isn't responsible for problems they aren't causing.

The fact is illegals, lots from mexico, and muslim are killing Americans, lots of us.

The tragedy is most of these deaths are needless. These are the innocent Americans offered as sacrifices on the alter of globalism officiated over by the priests of the cheap labor express and votes.

So not only do we have to:

Its also incumbent on us to put up with a certain amount of killing of innocent Americans here in America so that the big business can get their labor and big government their votes to continue the charade that is currently the situation.

Its the current situation that is quasi-fascist with the collusion between big government and big business.

If you get Ted Cruz this continues so enough with the fascist BS.

Its common sense to say this should stop and its not in America's best interest to have those folks here.

Trump is being attacked at rallies so he says stuff to give folks pause.

Most of what people say are Trump authoritarian impulses are in response usually to something heinous or slanderous.

Trump isn't the one trying to shout others down. He is the one standing up to those trying to do that very thing to him.

What you get with Trump is you know if you get in fight with him you might win but you will be very injured.

As I say all the time, votes belong to voters, not candidates. If Trump wants to win, he has to campaign for those votes and get them.

Now if you’re talking about the future surprise party at the convention where someone to the left of Romney will be coronated as the new nominee? I think that the people have also a remedy for that as well.

Unfortunately, those remedies give the GOPe exactly what they desire. To lose the White House and keep congress.

The real fight has mostly already been waged and won by the GOPe in county and state party board elections.

If you really want to scare the ^@&#& out of the GOPe, promise no matter what to vote for and support the GOP nominee. That’ll put a stop to a lot of this nonsense. When they can count on conservatives to stay home come election day, they know they’ve ‘won’ by losing the White House.

To: dschapin; All
Reagan has a few choice words for people who choose rule by the elite over the masses:
And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except the sovereign people, is still the newest and the most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man.

This is the issue of this election: whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.

You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between a left or right. Well I'd like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There's only an up or down: [up] man's old -- old-aged dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. And regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.

In this vote-harvesting time, they use terms like the "Great Society," or as we were told a few days ago by the President, we must accept a greater government activity in the affairs of the people. But they've been a little more explicit in the past and among themselves; and all of the things I now will quote have appeared in print. These are not Republican accusations. For example, they have voices that say, "The cold war will end through our acceptance of a not undemocratic socialism." Another voice says, "The profit motive has become outmoded. It must be replaced by the incentives of the welfare state." Or, "Our traditional system of individual freedom is incapable of solving the complex problems of the 20th century." Senator Fulbright has said at Stanford University that the Constitution is outmoded. He referred to the President as "our moral teacher and our leader," and he says he is "hobbled in his task by the restrictions of power imposed on him by this antiquated document." He must "be freed," so that he "can do for us" what he knows "is best." And Senator Clark of Pennsylvania, another articulate spokesman, defines liberalism as "meeting the material needs of the masses through the full power of centralized government."

Well, I, for one, resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me, the free men and women of this country, as "the masses." This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America. But beyond that, "the full power of centralized government" -- this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy.

Yeah but it is the electoral college that decides who will be president not the voters. The voters decide how many delegates the candidates get, and the delegates can come together and give the candidate the necessary 1237 delegates for the nomination

I am not a Trump supporter either, but I will vote for him in the general election in November if he is the nominee. No way will I vote third party or sit the election out as this would be a guaranteed win for Hillary Rotten Clinton, especially if everyone thinks that way.
