Colorado GOP delegates won't campaign for Trump
WND ^ | 07/25/2016 | Art Moore

Posted on 07/25/2016 3:35:16 PM PDT by detective

Jim Gilbreath and his fellow Colorado delegates came to the Republican National Convention “praying for a miracle,” hoping the rules might go their way and allow for a “white knight” candidate to take the place of Donald Trump.

As he headed home to Colorado Springs on Saturday afternoon at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, he told WND that while his party has confirmed Trump as the nominee, he and many others in his delegation are not on board.

“I can tell you that from the Colorado contingent, there will be quite a few people who will not be out helping Trump,” said Gilbreath, who describes himself as a pro-life, pro-religious liberty and pro-Constitution activist.

“The activists are the social conservatives, and they are the ones that are embarrassed to put the (Trump) bumper stickers on their car. How do you win? You can’t.”

In Colorado, Virginia and other swing states, he said, “you’ve gotta have people out there doing the work.”

I'm a social conservative and I would be proud to put a Trump Bumper Sticker on my car. But I like my car too much. Don't want to come out of some store and have the tires flat or the doors keyed.

Instead I think I will buy a few dozen and just put them on Priuses and Volts and Leafs at the Whole Food Market Parking lot.

Perfectly stated, 100% accurate.

Get a magnetic Trump sticker and put it on while driving, and take it off while in park.

Trump may be a bit of a loose cannon, but I know to a dead certainty the kind of SCOTUS justice(s) Hillary would appoint. Some people complained about the liberal Warren Court but this one would be exponentially worse.

First, they brag about how conservative they are. Then they say they want Clinton and the Democrats to win.
______________________________________________
This is the big fat lie of the RATS. They spout conservatism only as a foil to deceive. If you pierce through the veil you will see their behavior is prompted by a corrupt personal financial objective. Their weird behavior boils down to greed and money. They are as phony as a two dollar bill and don’t let anyone try to convince you otherwise. What is wrong with a strong patriotic nationalistic view paired with capitalism. Levin would have you believe it is equivalent to Communism. It is not easy to explain because it is not rational.

“I thought it was pretty stupid of some evangelicals to risk a second Obama term because they didn’t like Mormons.”

Mormon could be choked down. A gentile abortion and queer marriage advocating Mormon governor could not. That is one point of many.

>Their position is lose, lose. If Hillary wins they will be blamed and if Trump wins they will be punished.

And deservedly so. If Trump’s so bad they should quit the party, not frag him. By staying in they’ve identified themselves traitors the part and the cause.

The never Trumpers are a small, over funded, group. They are the stereotype Democrats ridicule and beat in every election. We have all seen them and said thank God, I don’t need them to have my back. Their reading of the Constitution is as parsed as their interpretation of the bible They have a very strong history of demanding complete conformity to their dogma, just like their far left cousins. They do not have or exhibit any true principals, only rigid statements of prescription and proscription. When confronted they rely on bitter threats as they retreat to their basements.

Brilliant! LOL!

Sad, though, how the country is so divided.

“As far as I know this guy is an evangelical Christian conservative. He’s not a GOP-e guy at all. I think he was a Carson supporter before he switched to Cruz. Until very recently Trump appeared to be a pro-abort. That will lose him some religious conservatives and we just have to face that fact.”

Let me try to wrap my mind around this twisted logic: Trump isn’t sufficiently Pro-Life to suit this tool so he’s supporting Hillary??? Do these cult members ever listen to themselves???

What makes me mad about the sanctimonious, arrogant, oh-so-holy #nevertrump cult is their hypocrisy. They happily voted for traitorous GOPE liberals such as Romney, Bush & McCain.

Shouldn’t be surprising, though. Colorado is insanely liberal.

They can’t fool me. They just want to spend more time at home with their bags of weed.

Good summary. They are hall monitor jihadists.

‘Never Trumpers are the conservative version of Social Justice Warriors (SJW). They spent all their time trying act more conservative than other people and condemn anyone not playing their holier than thou games. Their hatred for Trump is rooted in how he speaks. If Trump used a non NYC accent, added stuff about the Constitution and Liberty, and generally blew smoke up their butts, they’d be fine with him. Instead Trump insists on being Trump. Same way of dressing, same way of talking, none of these pretending to be someone he is not.’

That was beautiful, RedWulf. Psalm, thanks for the ping or I’d have missed it. It would have been my loss.

With the state enveloped in a cloud of suspicious smelling smoke, why should they care if Rotten gets elected?
