Hello Everybody, I don't usually Rant, but I needed to say my piece and ask advice.
I have been listening to Talk Radio, reading on the internet, and reading views of others on FR, and wanted to share my confusion with you all.
I am a Trump supporter, but this is not about who you support if your a Republican. We are all beyond that at this point.
What I have been reading and hearing, are our Elected Representatives combined reactions to the people of this Nation selecting a Republican Candidate for POTUS.
It was a clear mandate, and will continue to be evidenced with continuing primaries that Donald Trump, for good or bad, is the Winner.
I will point out that theoretically it is of no consequence who won. Only that there was a winner.
Now, our elected representative are defying the electorate by not immediately supporting OUR candidate, whom we have made a clear mandate, and their only job is to ralley behind him, and do everything in their power to help him win the General Election.
I don't care if they like him or not. He is a Republican, and we need to win against Hildabeast or Bernie Sanders.
To NOT do this is tantamount to Treason IMO to the goals of the Republican Party.
I am not sure if there is a way to tell all our representatives to "get on the stick", and do their jobs, and represent the will of the people, or they are going to be replaced. I have already written e-mails, and phone called to my representatives.
I for one will be ticked beyond belief if they try to bring in a GOPe favorite in spite of the will of the people.
What say you?
Give us Cruz supporters a little time to grieve please.
Wait until the convention. Once Trump is officially declared the nominee, the rest will come on board.
Patience grasshopper. Donald Trump has an open of a run to his delegates as he can get now.
A lot of folks are still depressing the clutch and haven’t grabbed the mental shifter yet.
Uh, boy are you going to be surprised when Hillery!
is selected President/Queen.
Personally I think she will drop out possibly from a
convenient stroke. After all who wants to send a stroke
victim to prison....besides myself. I look for either a
Biden/Warren ticket or some rather unknown party flaks.
Not by way of defending the jaw-dropped GOPe; I say relax and give it a few days before freaking out. Our GOP Democrats have had it soft & cushy for 7 years and the “reserved” tags around the slop trough look to be rearranged a bit.
So now you know how many of us felt when Donald Trump said in a debate that he would not support the GOP nominee unless it was him. I will probably vote for Trump but I can fully understand why there are those who snear at him. He unfortunately created the divisions that he now must heal. And he’ll have to do that while he’s also trying to run against Hillary.
You just now getting pissed at the establishment and many GOP members? You must have some kind of remarkable patience.
I say I’m not surprised these guys have gone full weasel. Actually, I might have to apologize to weasels for that. These people have steadfastly refused to represent the voters who elected them. Time and again. Have you had any different sort of experience, because I haven’t.
I say God bless Donald Trump for flushing the bastards out.
Let’s vote for people who will actually do their job, wouldn’t that be refreshing?!
The last thing Trump needs is support from the RINO herd. He needs to keep his distance. They are lepers.
I happen to be a Cruz man, but it doesn’t really matter: Anymore, nobody knows where to put apostrophe’s.
He NEVER said that, he said that if he were treated UNFAIRLY.
Hahahahaha!!!
Sentiment understood. For perspective, read up on the Garfield and Harrison elections.
By the workings of the electoral college, you can win even if you don’t have the majority popular vote as in the Harrison election.
Delegates selected someone who wasn’t even running in the primaries in the Garfield election.
Oh no, I am not a cow-eyed probie, I have been seething for quite awhile.
Those "elected" officials who boldly claim they will not support Trump in November should identified, isolated, targeted and dealt with. Those pundit, the same. Those who have bitched and whined that they simply will not vote for Trump in November, or will sit it out, also should be recognized and shunned.
In the past, when my candidate did not triumph, I did not pitch a fit and declare an FU to the victors and their supporters. I simply did what was best for the country and supported the candidate the people of my party chose. Those who will not do the same are self declared enemies.
“To NOT do this is tantamount to Treason…”
HOORAY Rustybucket
TREASON - continuous, in-your-face, agenda-driven, agency-abetted, representative-enabled, media-complicit, ongoing…
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
A lot, well all of it in fact, is being shoved at us by the lying media, talking heads, Rush, Levin and others, I have to say that Hannity has been fair to all the candidates and let them come on his radio show, T.V. and had Town Halls for who ever wanted them, so he's ok in my book...
HILDERBEAST and obuma are behind this media blitz to drive us out, we know we are a power to be reckoned with, look where we got Trump to...16 candidates and they are gone, and he is still standing...
We just need to get tough, call your reps. your Senators, and let them know we are running this election and if they don't respect OUR wishes, they won't have a job anymore...
You know, if you don't re elect and go for the other person, they don't have a job...we need to start there also...
I will not re elect Mia Love or Mike Lee, I don't care if I have to write in my own name, I will do it...and that's where we have to get to...
GO.TRUMP.GO!!!
“Biden/Warren”
Hillary won’t win. The Bernie supporters will not support any DNC candidate after they “steal” it from him. Unless Fauxcahontas is on the ticket. Then we have a big problem.
[Cruz supporter]
I will hold my nose and vote for Trump in the general, That is as long as he does not go soft and put a GOPe stooge in his VP slot.
However, I would point out that if the best argument you have FOR your candidate is that he is not the opposition, you have a really WEAK argument. Far better to champion the positions that will “sell” your candidate to conservatives. And calling them traitors does not help your cause.
