The Primary is Over It's Time to Back Trump

Posted on 05/04/2016 9:11:00 AM PDT by Cubs Fan

Other than the possibility of GOP convention shenanigans the primary is over. Trump is the nominee. Yet today on talk radio and in the punditry and elsewhere I see people still saying they won't support him.

The most common objections-

"Trump is not conservative."

Perhaps, but (look them up) his stances on the issues have a big overlap with conservatism. More than Romney or McCain ever had.

"He doesn't mean it"

When the media went after him for his positions he still stood by them steadfast. Most republicans would have caved under such pressure. Trump did not.

"His past is liberal"

Yes, he has had some things in his past that look bad. So what should we do? Stay home and get everything we all KNOW we don't want? or take a chance that Trump might be sincere in his change of mind? if he is not, and wins, then in four years we can vote him out.

Was a Cruz guy, upset he didn’t win but that’s life. I will line up behind Trump because he’s not Hillary and he’s not Bernie. It’s really that simple.

You nailed it. A good leader treats his people and the country like an extension of his Family.

this election, it is the GOPe that has to hold their nose and vote for the winner of the primary.

They are just hypocrits.

one set of rules for me, one set of rules for thee...that is their motto.

Expect many to leave the Republican Party because the party has been hijacked by the Democrats so that Hillary, a very weak candidate, can win. That’s why millions of Democrats voted in the GOP primaries. The gullible Republicans fell for it.

" I'll vote 3rd party "

Vote Trump and you are voting 3rd Party. Republicans and Democrats hate him for putting America first.

Trump has demonstrated:

Love of Country
Love of Family
Love of our Military

Understanding that with no Borders = no Country
Understanding the threat & naming radical islam
Understanding Free Trade does not = US losing in Trade
Understanding lower taxes builds up the middle class
Bringing back American companies to the USA

Have some faith, there is so much that is Right for America with DJT.

I think it’s time to face up to the reality that GOP “social conservatism” was always a fraud.

Trump promised to put pro-life judges on the Supreme Court. That to me is enough and then some.

A statement that tells me you have no principles, since you are willing to support a communist criminal who will destroy America and Christians. Way to go, champ!
******************

I try and I try to think I could POSSIBLY hold my nose and vote for Trump and then I read a reply like yours and realize that Trump’s supporters are just like him. So sad

Take a break from FR. Process. Deal with the frustration and grief. Come back later.

Because right now your spite is doing nothing but turning people against you.

BUT THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE USA IS AN ACCUSED RAPIST, AND AN ADULTEROUS HUSBAND OF THE DEMOCRAT FRONT RUNNER FOR THE SAME OFFICE...” DOES AMERICA REALLY WANT THESE DIRTY PEOPLE BACK IN CHARGE OF RUNNING THIS NATION???
and the GOP nominee is an accused rapist, a serial adulterer whose father is a known communist, and has a wife that posed for lesbian soft porn, and tells live cameras that he would date his own daughter if she wasnt his daughter, too... and you want me to vote for him?????

I hadn’t heard about the devil worshipping ceremonies, but I’ll take your word for it.

I wouldn’t put anything past Cruz. Glad you came around to see the light.

My problem with Trump is that I don’t trust him. He talks to the right but walks more to the left.

I do trust Hillary. I trust her to continue what Obama started. The country will have a very hard time surviving that. Unlike the liberals who would leave if Trump is elected, if Hillary is elected conservatives will dig in and fight... and I mean fight with whatever tools they have.

This is one case where it is better to bet on the maybe than on the sure thing.

no, their spite is turning me against people
they are leaving me
I may be learning more, but I was always here
supporting lying adulterous draft dodgers was ALWAYS what this website was against

I just never thought that we would only be against a certain man but not his ideology.

we were supposed to be FOR something, now, we clearly are not for something, but for someone.

this time, it is a lying adulterous draft dodger who slanders his opponents with lies including claiming that the opponents father was involved with shooting JFK.

My God, do people really think that man is a good choice who would say that?

Have you all lost your minds?

The last delusion was that Ted Cruz was a part of the establishment.
The NEW delusion is that Ted Cruz supporters want Hillary to win the election.
