I don’t know about VAST majority, but a majority maybe. I’d be very interested in a more accurate poll than that provided by the caucus thread. I am seeing more and more freepers emboldened to speak out regarding their Trump skepticism. Yes, I know JimRob’s opinion has been posted repeatedly as if somehow we should be persuaded by that, but so far as I know there is still freedom to dissent on FR, and if a purge ensues, it would be to FR’s detriment.
The nightmare scenario for most Freepers is someone other than Trump or Cruz. I think that's extraordinarily unlikely to happen. The Establishment will end up settling for throwing their support behind whichever of the two they think is the most electable, and the pound of flesh they'll extract from the nominee is the right to name the VP. All in all, we should be able to live with that.
I think a purge will come only if Cruz or Trump are the nominee, and people get too loud about opposing the nominee. JR has been pretty clear that he prefers Trump at this point largely because of a belief that Cruz can't win and is hurting the cause. But if Cruz does in fact win, I think JR would back him.
the mean-spirited vitriol is getting harder and harder to take. used to be that Freepers could disagree without it turning into a personal attack, and when personal attacks happened, there was usually a moderator response like “CUT IT OUT”. don’t see any moderators saying cut it out any longer, and it may just be that they’d have to have it on a constant loop, LOL!>
Hopefully, it will die down at least a bit after the Convention, although some people are going to be very unhappy given that Trump and Cruz can't both be the nominee.
There is no way a constitutional-conservative would have voted to reauthorize the Patriot Act.
There is no way a constitutional-conservative would have voted for the TPP enabling TPA.
Ted Cruz is also a liar, conservatives used to not like lairs.
Levin is a fraud too.
” I only stated what burning a book represents. And it the symbolism of book-burning is fascist”
Sooooooooo....burning a copy of a book by Karl Marx is fascist?
I’m a fascist then.
Do us all a favor. Go watch Fahrenheit 451 repeatedly until you go blind. If you go blind, you won’t post here, and everybody wins!
Good job.

Don’t cry about being smeared and labeled. You Trumpeters chose the form of your destruction and I am only using the rules of engagement that he established on day one of his campaign. You don’t get to praise him for smearing and labeling while badgering opponents of him for doing the same. If you go that route, there are plenty of your cohorts you need to slap down for not being nice.
And Alinski? Tsk tsk, child
Now you’re trying to deflect the intention of your first sneer at antceecee, and you’re suffering from a case of butt hurt because you got called out on it.
Here, we’ll make this simple:
GFY!
It’s ironic your handle is Jessup because you can’t handle the truth
Radio Contract was well before he announced his TV show.
Being Vice President isn't worth a bucket of warm spit. John Nance Garner
according to craig shirley and other people interviewed by Levin, reagan loathed Bush.
Bush was part of the establishment that wanted Reagan out.
Kind of like boehner or McConnell
There really is not much room for dissent. There have been mass purges before, some of which were warranted.
But it illustrates that the Cruz should be on the ticket.
Either way, folks will stay home. but the trump people will be louder in their ‘non participation’.
This is the difference between a populist and a conservative.
yes , noticed that. the moderating has been very light.
One is paid the other isn't.
The banks and saudis bailed trump out when he went bankrupt in the early 90s .
Trump also supported the 2007 bailout.
Citi , Chemical Chase BofA all the biggies have funding trump plaza, altantic city etc.
Who gets 7- year after a internet show has been on air for one month??
Radio Contract was well before he announced his TV show.
Just very surprising to me that he would get a 7-year contract on an “internet TV show” that has been on air for maybe 6 weeks.
Not to be picky but Trump never went bankrupt, he has had individual companies take chapter 11.
Romney on the other hand made a living buying troubled assets and liquidating them, only winners in those deals are the liquidator.
