They’d rather look good and lose than admit Trump is the best candidate

Our nation is in deep trouble. Our world is burning down and an anti-American in the White House is fanning the flames. We the people who love America must do something to save ourselves now! We have been let down by the fake conservatives we sent to Washington to put out the fire and start fixing the damage. They have laughed in our faces. We have reluctantly put our faith in the Supreme Court to halt the advance of unconstitutional legislation; but the justices have stabbed us in the back and twisted the blade with smug talk about the fix being “up to the people.”

Until last summer we had no one to champion our cause. It was only us. That has changed with the emergence of Donald Trump as the frontrunner in the Republican primaries. We now have a once in a lifetime opportunity to fix what is wrong and save our country; and we simply cannot squander it.

Yet there are those whose demands for conservative purity have caused them to first scoff at Trump, then throw their “Flavor of the Month” candidate at him to take him out. Since that didn’t work they are lecturing us and pushing Ted Cruz, a man who is a proven liar. Worse still, more than a third of voters believe Cruz is not eligible to be the president. Ted Cruz is not an alternative, but just another way to pat us on the head and tell us to “run along.”

These chattering purists are frightened of losing their influence...

Huffing paint thinner?

As Georgia Girl 2 observed: Trump is best chance at self preservation we have at the moment.

Is there a "pure" conservative candidate to be found? I do not believe there is and I don't know of anyone demanding one. However, a history of consistent conservative values are definitely a big plus. As for Trump - it would help if his knee-jerk responses didn't tend to align with his center-to-far-left "NYC-Values" that he was raised with. And those "NYC-values" should surprise no one -- it's all he's ever known. The better question is, "why would you think someone who has consistently displayed those "NYC-Values" is *suddenly* a conservative?"

Bear in mind, with trump's history...

Touch-back is a total and complete lie. What is not a lie is the 500% increase in H-1B visas by Tedder.

[bimboeruption]

You’re out of your mind.

Trump is more to the right than Hillary or any of the other GOP candidates on:

Immigration
National Security
Jobs
Education
Guns
Fair trade

Prove Hillary is more to the right than Trump. I dare you.

[jaydee770]

"...Touch-back is a total and complete lie..."

Really? Because Trumps own words beg to differ. But don't take *my* word for it, here's trump saying it himself:

link to CNN on their interview with trump:

In the interview with CNN's Dana Bash, trump explained his plan this way:

"...I would get people out and then have an expedited way of getting them back into the country so they can be legal.... A lot of these people are helping us ... and sometimes it's jobs a citizen of the United States doesn't want to do. I want to move 'em out, and we're going to move 'em back in and let them be legal..."

Now, that's just one of the examples of his proposing export with an 'expedited" turnaround import. Now, most *rational* folks would call that "touchback amnesty". If you want to play with semantics, you can call it something else, but it won't change the facts.

So was trump lying?

[Redleg Duke]

And “Bust” is acceptable to you?

[one Lord one faith one baptism]

I don’t know what you will be preserving with touch back amnesty, government run health care, crony subsidies, tax increases, moving forward on so called gay rights, Larry Tribe like Supreme Court justices, etc etc.

I am old enough to remember when FR was a conservative site.......

[MaggiesPitchfork]

How so? He’s gonna make deals with everybody. Know what that means in the world of politics?

[sig226]

Only Rudy can beat Hillary.

[Brellium]

Prove Hillary is more to the right than Trump. I dare you.

All of those positions as of 2-3 years ago were pretty much in lock step with Hillary's, lets not even get into abortion.

You do not change your entire political outlook on pretty much all hot political positions in just 2-3 years. I am highly doubtful of his stated positions. This change is so complete that one could make the assumption, granted he's still just as much as a boorish buffoon as he has always been, that he is just a doppleganger of some type.

I don't buy it.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yeh and it will be a deal we want not a deal the Dems want. What a change that will be. :-)

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well cheer up none of what you just said will happen. LOL!

[Jane Long]

Trump is best chance at self preservation we have at the moment.

Phyllis Schlafly agrees :)

You really are in deep, aren’t you?

[jospehm20]

Cruz is a lot of things, NBC American is not one of them.

[Georgia Girl 2]

“You really are in deep, aren’t you?”

Yes deep into deciding who the best leader for our country is. Not who the slickest talking hack politician is.

[miss marmelstein]

I reiterate what I said last night: it is women who get Trump - far more than rigid ideological males - because we know there is an existential battle going on and that women more than anyone else (aside from male children) will be the victims. What is the word for female “genocide”?

[Windflier]

“touch back amnesty”

Goebbels much?

[Cboldt]

Femocide (I just made that up)
