I for one do not like the result of this primary race, but who would after they put their heart and soul into wanting to win. It was a classic battle, but Trump won. Just like military academies teach the logistics of histories greatest battles of war, so too will this epic battle be taught for generations to come by Political Science instructors. The lessons learned will effect the way politicians run their campaigns for decades.
Both sides got down and dirty, as they obliterated the detente that made everyone speculate about why the they refused to attack each other so early in the campaign. Often times those who are the best of friends can have the nastiest of breakups. Like a divorce that brings out the worse of two decent and honorable people, the Trump/Cruz war did not fail entertain the MSM, as supporters of both sides took things so personal that even family members ended up with strained relationships.
Being the youngest of 8 children I have seen my share of rough and tumble, knife throwing, dinner destroying, hair removing, black eye, and fat lip arguments over things that only siblings could lose it over. Well ladies and gentleman, like my parents said when enough was enough, “It's over, it's time to let it go!” Time to head to your own corner and stop.
FreeRepublic is a family. A dysfunctional one at times, but still a family. I would advise everyone from both sides of this fight to do as our parents told us. Drop it, and make up. Stop already with the insults, and accept defeat as a gracious loser or be humble in your win. Nothing good will come from those who are unable to drop the weapons and shake hands.
As for not voting for Trump in the General. Let me make this perfectly clear, with no ambiguity. When the Republican Convention anoints their candidate, regardless of who it is, I will vote for that candidate in November. I would just as soon murder my whole family and then drink cyanide before I allow my vote to get any Democrat elected to the White House. There is no greater threat what remains of our freedom than Hillary Clinton becoming the leader of this once great nation.
So with the words of a great American, which echo in my head when the going gets tough, I offer this phrase to all. “Let's Roll!” But let us all roll together for a common cause, the total and complete destruction of Hillary Clinton.
God bless America, and God bless Jim's vision for a great forum where true American's can come together to agree or at times even get rough and tumble as we throw knives, remove hair, give and get black eyes and fat lips.
Go Trump!
+1
I have pretty strong feelings on this but I’m trying not to post any snarky stuff. It seems pointless. I want the wounds to heal not reopen.
Amen! Even though earlier I was a Cruz supporter...I urged him to suspend after NY and am all in for a Trump victory.
I respect Cruz backing away from the abyss last night and suspending his campaign. I think it caught a lot of people by surprise.
But it was exactly what he needed to do, and he rightly admitted that it was the people whose vote made that clear.
Those who will either not vote...or some of those indicating that they may vote for Hillary instead, IMHO, they are doing a HUGE disservice to this nation, and to their own children and grandchildren.
If Trump will do the principle points he has espoused and detailed on his website, America will turn around and be a far better place heading in a far better direction than what any Dem/DNC, or GOPe candidate would ever make happen.
Absolute truth.
From one member of the Class of '98 to another, I am glad we are on the same side again.
BOL! Geez tell us how you really feel!:)
Bravo Zulu! Excellent Post!

And the biggest lesson to be learned of all is SCREW POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT LOSES
If Trump had not entered the race we would NOT be talking about a wall and stopping illegal immigration, only how fast we would be giving them voting rights.
If trump had not entered the race we would NOT be talking about stopping terrorists from entering the country, but how soon we would give them voting rights.
If (etc) we would NOT be talking about repealing Obama’s executive orders or Obamacare...
etc etc
Too funny!
RE: Let it go “Frozen” image
Cruz ran a helluva race. Let’s face it, it was brutal, and he did a helluva job. But that’s over now. We either unite behind Trump, or prepare for never seeing the ballot box again. It’s that simple.
I dunno. I've been enjoying trolling the worst of the TDS people.
One question: Can we still make fun of Kasich?
I also have pretty strong feelings about this, and I agree with your conclusion. It’s about time that those of us who voted for Trump (as I did eight days ago) acted like adults.
This is not a difficult concept: snark, rudeness, name calling, and the rest, whether directed at Cruz or at his voters, will not make it more likely for the 30% of republican voters who preferred Cruz to vote Trump in November. Ungracious conduct makes it more likely for Hillary to win. Trump supporters should start acting like gracious winners - even if it’s an act. Cruz supporters should accept reality, read Trump’s positions, and vote for him, even if they have to hold their noses.

That should be enough, but if it’s not, read Hillary’s positions:

See tagline.
Very nice!
Why bother? While it would be nice to see Trump get both of their votes, it is unlikely to matter in November. Cruz had and still has the support of 30% of republicans. Trump needs those votes. The joy found in rudeness will not in the long run compensate for the cost of giving Hillary better odds by making fun of Cruz.
lol
My comment was partly tongue in cheek, but he is also my gov and I can’t stand him. I pray he’s not veep. I don’t know if I could hold my nose for that ticket.
Only if you post the spaghetti eating video.
Sorry/sarc/NOT LOL
You Cruzablancans will always have Wisconsin.
