Incorrectamundo, my dear friend and brother.
The response to Trump from the conservative right isn't about a cult of personality, or any such lofo group hypnosis.
It's about one thing, and one thing only: The very survival of the political/cultural/spiritual union we call the United States of America.
The sobering fact is, we've run out of time. If the Dems or the Repuke establishment win one more presidential election, you can kiss our mother country good-bye forever, as the-powers-that-be, are going to throw open the borders so wide, that our kind will never win another national election at any level.
As much as I'd love to see a constitutional conservative claim the nomination and win the general this time around, it's not in the cards. Not even close. The numbers simply aren't there. Cruz is the best candidate we have in that realm, and even he isn't without sin. Note that several of his votes over the last year were completely 'off the reservation'. He may be our champion, but we must face the fact that he's not polling well, and hasn't done so throughout this primary.
That aside, our nation is in an existential crisis. It's time we had a president who bloodies noses, punches hippies, drop kicks pansy ass traitor politicians, and scares the bejeezus out of our enemies. Times are too dire for the sort of polished gentlemanly scholars we so admire. What we need now, is a Patton of Politics. We need a street fightin' man. Someone with a hard nose, who doesn't mind mixing it up with the bastards who want to take this country down. Someone who will kick the living shit out of anyone who dares to inflict harm upon the American people.
Trump, thought imperfect, is such a man. The American people recognize it, which is why his numbers continue to rise despite everything he's said and done that would have destroyed any garden variety politician. It's because they see that he's the ONLY candidate running who fully grasps the enormity of the very real crisis we face.
1. He sees that illegals are taking Americans' jobs.
2. He sees that illegals are committing heinous crimes against our citizens at a rate which far exceeds their numbers.
3. He sees that illegals are stealing Billions of taxpayer dollars through our generous welfare programs.
4. He sees that the illegal horde is actually colonizing our country and displacing the rightful owners of America.
5. He sees that illegals are being groomed to be faithful Democrat voters who will soon tip the balance of national elections permanently.
We can't spare this man. He fights. And this time, it really is for all the marbles.
Excellent post, Windflier.
You cannot read a single Trump thread on any site on the web without someone calling him Reagan, better than Reagan, America’s salvation, posting memes of him in armor/wearing a cape and repeating his catch phrases ad nausem. We all see it every day.
Now considering he has no conservatism to speak of in his actual record/history, it’s a logical conclusion all this unwarranted praise is coming from his promises and words. There is one other possibility. That People are projecting their wants and desires on what they want him to be and not who he actually is. They are basing their support on ‘Hope’ for ‘Change’. Because there is so far nothing but words and promises. It is a pure act of faith.
In all likelihood it’s a combo of the two. Now where have we seen that before?

How did that turn out? You remember as do I, all the sudden conversions here with people suddenly believing Mitt Romney would have his feet held to the fire and that he was sorta conservative and good enough and the alternatives were worse...after YEARS of trashing the guy, rightly, for his hard liberal past actions.
So what’s different? Trump is absolutely more to the right than Mitt is. But then unlike 12, we have Ted Cruz sitting there 1000 times moreso. And what do we see? Obamazombie behavior eradicating years of their OWN praise for the guy right here on FR to once again flush their conservative ‘principles’ and go with a lesser evil to win no matter what.
If you can find one thing I just said that has not happened exactly as I wrote it, I would love to see it. Since we both know it IS true, then it is what it is Windy. People want so desperately to ‘believe’ they are again going full on Fox Mulder and seeing things they want to.
With Ted Cruz in the race, even with his couple blunders, he is head and shoulders above Trump as a Conservative, a Christian and a constitutionalist. There is ZERO excuse for any conservative to go bug nuts for anyone else unless he utterly blows it and contrary to Donald’s vocal fans assertions, he hasn’t.
A year out and already they invent reasons to not back the man they praised endlessly just a year ago and praise endlessly the man they called a reality show circus clown. Just that fast.
WTF is wrong with this picture Windy???
Of course they did the same thing to Palin remember? Same crew. Same BS. And we got Barry twice for their efforts.
