Free Republic

There are two huge losers tonight and neither of them is Ted Cruz. The Cruz campaign was dead in the water after the New York primary, and in his heart, Cruz knew it. One of the realities of politics is that money is the grease that enables the political engine to go forward. Due to the stunning degree of Cruz’s loss in New York, and especially considering how much better than the poll expectations Trump did, Cruz fundraising was on pause after the New York primary two weeks ago. As the election embarrassments continued for Cruz during the ACELA primaries,...

With Trump sealing the nomination tonight, California Republicans can derail the Dems by voting Sanders in their June primary.

I haven't posted on FR since the 2012 election. For years prior, I feared that FR was turning away from what I once loved. That most of the sane, sensible people here left, leaving us with nothing but conspiracy theorists, wannabe Stormfronters, finger-waggers, and wackos. My fears have been confirmed. This post is addressed to the people of FR who support Donald Trump, or are going to "come around" to Trump, too. If you're one of the few remaining non-Trump supporters, this isn't aimed at you. Before I continue, I, too once found Trump to be entertaining and possibly worth...

First the reason the time now to pick Rubio is to beat Hillary to the punch with picking an hispanic. Second reason why. It locks up almost all of the southern states. Rubio did well in Virginia and will also help in Nevada. This leaves Ohio for Trump to win. It also helps him compete in Minnesota and New Mexico. This will allow Trump to put resources in the some of the Northeast states making Hillary compete in states they would not normally compete in. Some argue for a women to cancel out the woman card or a black American....

I'm a staunch Trump supporter who lives in Indiana, I have a really bad feeling about Tomorrow. I was listening to an AM station out of Fort Wayne, they're firmly in the Ted Cruz camp. They were talking about how Ted and Pence we're criss crossing the state today, seriously, the schedule is insane, the wives are also criss crossing to a different set of towns. Sadly, a lot of folks in Indiana are none to bright and what I'd call followers, they basically fall for the MSM stuff easily.Clearly Pence is on board with the GOP establishment, why else...

TED CRUZ just screwed YOU out of your Social Security income...at least he did for me! I was getting widow benefits...but no more! Obama was happy to sign it! [snip]Politicians describe Social Security as "the third rail," meaning that enacting any benefit cuts will kill them politically. But this is precisely what they voted to do under the Bipartisan Budget Bill of 2015. Spouses as well as divorced spouses (who were married for 10 or more years) who reached 62 by Jan. 2 can still collect just their spousal or divorced spousal benefit between 66 and 70 and then take...

My involvement with Free Republic began around 2000 when my wife began her vigil around the Texas governor’s mansion in support of GW against the challenge of Al Gore for the presidency. I generally provided the livelihood for the Bat Lady to be able to protest and surround the mansion against the leftists who were kept at bay across the street. While she was registered in order to post after action reports I was a lurker

Our city council took it upon themselves to approve an $8 Million Dollar "Loan" to a shadow LLC group building a hotel/conference center in the downtown area of Greeley, but never disclosed the loan to the public till after groundbreaking. A new citizen group is petitioning to get this on the ballot for voters to approve or disapprove, as should have been done in the first place. Help them out by freeping the poll on the Tribune phone page, it's about halfway down the page. Thanks.

Ted Cruz lies and savages a friends bill without warning or reason. He lost his only friend in the senate. Read the whole thing.

I place this name in nomination as the republican candidate for Vice President of the United States.

Tell me, if she were White, would she have a job tomorrow? I hope someone who is well versed in Social Media (Twitter and YouTube) not only post a video of the portion of her interview this morning, but blast all through the twitterverse demanding fair treatment for all.

Maxing out maudlin to a pinnacle of banal that overshadows even audacious theft and exploitation, behold Ronald Reagan as heavenly sock puppet of #NeverTrump, breaking his own 11th commandment not to speak ill of other Republicans with a whopper straight from "Jimmy's World," brimming over with a tear too gaudy for Bambi. I think what they meant to say was: Congratulations to the presumptive GOP nominee, Donald Trump, on his outstanding sweep of five states yesterday. Yuge! It's time for conservatives and populists in the Republican Party to come together and unify and defeat Hillary Clinton in the fall. Laura...

Trump on Greta right now in Indiandapolis, being interviewed. Audience pumped up.

Between Trump slate of delegates and those stating they will vote for winner of district, projecting 33 for Trump and only 4 for Ted. Ted lies again, saying he would have over 30.

On my Facebook news feed, someone shared a "Hostile Politics" meme that featured a photo of a washroom with the caption "Share if you feel safer in a public restroom with a transgender person than with any male Republican politician". I've reported the meme to the FB people under the "offensive or inappropriate" complaint. I'm not holding my breath for any action in my favour, however, I thought that I'd like to document and share here the response I do actually get.

Rhode Island Poll: 90% of Female Voters Reject Senator Ted Cruz For the past several weeks Senator Ted Cruz has been running a presidential campaign based on a strategy to ‘win despite the voters’. The latest Brown University poll (full pdf below) of Rhode Island voters highlights why.The Brown U Poll shows Donald Trump with a lead of 38%, Governor Kasich second with 25% and Ted Cruz in dead last with only 14% support.(FULL POLL DATA LINK) The poll surveyed a random sample of 600 registered Rhode Island voters who are likely to vote in the presidential primaries. It...

The Left is racist against whites simply because whites allow it and a certain percentage of blacks and other non-whites are perfectly happy to practice anti-white racism. I see more and more examples of Anti-white racism. For instance, it's OK to replace a white character or even a white historical figure with a white actor in a film and it's completely acceptable. The reverse however, is completely unacceptable and racist. We give blacks and hispanics extra points on admission tests but none for whites. We don't have any laws protecting whites from minorities in power. Recently, I have seen where...

Um, yeah, good luck with that. According to the latest Reuters Polling snapshot Senator Cruz has dropped another 5 points this week –LINK . This comes on the heels of several weeks of polling data outlining how Ted Cruz has a significant problem with “authenticity”. Readers will note we have discussed this several times. The more the general electorate get to see and know Ted Cruz, the more his support drops. There is a direct correlation. ted and heidi kiss The Associated Press now reports the Cruz Camp is making an effort to train Senator Cruz to become more likable:...
