Is this some sort of joke or spoof?

Unfortunately, no.

Nothing surprises me anymore

After 8 years of Obama the entire nation is a bit insane.

Obama is driving his opponents to distraction with his destruction at home and abroad

And the cognitive dissonance of ignoring, justifying or explaining away his actions is taking its toll on his supporters

Even his fellow revolutionaries are a bit terrified because they are beginning to figure out that destroying America from within means that their lives are going to ruined right along with the rest of the worlds

Eight years down the Wonderland rabbit hole is taking its toll on all of us

Seriously, this country has a very different mood and outlook than it did before Obama took office and its not for the better

So, he’s not a conservative, but a cryptoDemocrat.

From the Politico article:

O'Rourke said his endorsement of Clinton includes "her lies and all her empty promises."

"It's the second worst thing that can happen to this country. But she’s way behind in second place," he continued. "I mean, she’s wrong about absolutely everything, but she’s wrong within normal parameters.”

Referring to Donald Trump, he remarked, “I mean, this man just can’t be president. They’ve got this button, you know, in the briefcase. He’s going to find it.”

By supporting a socialist, O’Rourke is neither a conservative nor is he a supporter of the Constitution or of traditional American values. His emotions have overtaken his wisdom and intellect. Most disappointing to see a good man dishonor himself so.

Unfortunately, you are correct.

GOPe is in bed with the Democrats for a Hillary presidency.

Pretty much. A “ conservative” backing Clinton was never a Conservative in the first place. The phonies are being exposed.

Two can play at that game: Cruz's backers are now backing Hillery. Was Cruz ever a conservative or just a hired hitman from Hillery?

He also supports amnesty, Big Government, Obamacare, etc. We are shining the light on the cockroaches and watching them scatter. Trump has been a godsend.

Very disappointing. I can see how some are turned off by Trump. I cannot see how any conservative can conceive of voting for Hillary Clinton.

Nobody can back crooked Hillary and call him/herself a legitimate Conservative.

I agree. Likewise, saying you won't vote for the GOP candidate (e.g. Trump) means you are tacitly voting for Hitlery and all that she stands.

So you too can no longer call yourself a conservative. Or a Republican, for that matter.
