NONSENSE! This time it’s DIFFERENT! You would have had us nominate ANOTHER loser.
When are you going to wake up and realize that far right conservatives are not a majority, not even close. Without joining a coalition they will NEVER rule.
Conservatives have fallen (myself included), for the siren song of Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, and Glenn Beck. Their song is that only “ROCK RIBBED” conservatives can win the presidency.
The polls, I mean the actual polls where people actually vote, have shown that not to be the case. They now show that a flawed “Populist/Conservative” candidate has a real shot at putting a Republican back in the white house at a CRUCIAL time in our history.
Ted Cruz, the supposed most “conservative” candidate in the race, (certainly according to himself), came in 2ND. We all know that 2ND place, is the first loser. While Cruz was a “distant” 2ND, he still beat 15 other candidates. Not nothing. Rock Ribbed, far right, conservatives forming a coalition with the populist/conservatives is a WINNING combination.
We NEED the “not quite as conservative”, “independents”, and “persuaded Democrats”, to join with ALL Republicans in order to win this election. Anything less or the same old same old, and we will LOSE!
Trump is the RIGHT person “at this time” to SAVE our country from absolute destruction.
Agree. To reverse the pendulum you first have to stop its leftward swing. Now we work to make it swing Right.
It is time we stopped supporting “conservatives” and started supporting “Americans.”
For the past six years we have voted for conservatives, we have a majority in the House and Senate, in our Governorships and state positions.
How has that worked out? They run as “conservatives” and things continue to get worse. Conservative doesn’t mean anything anymore, it’s a con job.

Look at the Republicans in the last few presidential elections (that I have been able to vote in, anyway).
Reagan

Bush
Bush
Dole
W

McCain
Romney
Trump
Reagan, W, And Bush won and they were more conservative than Dole, McCain, Romney and Trump.
Bush lost his 2nd bid due to the Perot effect (Clinton got under 50% of the vote).Also, he backed away from his Conservatism with the “no new taxes” deal.
Frankly, I hate to say this, but Hillary will win, mostly because Trump has been painted as anti-woman, and women make up more than 1/2 of the electorate.
After Trump has scorched Earth everyone who even made the slightest comment against him, it will be difficult, and maybe impossible, to rebuild those bridges he has burned.
Even if he accomplishes that, Hillary will still have the “historic” women thing in her favor.
Fire away at me if you want, folks, but we may have selected the candidate least likely to win over women voters out of all 17 of the Republicans who ran for the nomination.
Everyone wanted the house to be burned down, but now there is no house standing to welcome in the coalition needed to win. Better call the carpenters in, and fast.
