Who Here Has Changed from Trump to Another Candidate?
Self | 03-14-16 | The Citizen Soldier

Posted on 03/13/2016 1:27:43 PM PDT by The Citizen Soldier

I have been on Free Republic for almost 15 years and almost never post anything. Love to lurk and post occasional response. In mid-February I changed my preference for President from Cruz to Trump. I've seen many others who have made a similar change in the past month.

I'm curious to learn those who have changed from Trump to another candidate, and why. I hope I have posted this correctly. If not, I apologize beforehand.

I was a Scott Walker guy - once he pulled out I was open for a while.
Looked at Trump, but couldn't square his Planned Parenthood comments (or his less recent abortion views) with my core beliefs (Pro-life 1st).

At least Cruz wasn’t a democrat 5 months ago

But....but...he tells us like it is.

Donald Trump answers the question: What is 2+2?
“I have to say a lot of people have been asking this question. No, really. A lot of people come up to me and they ask me. They say, ‘What’s 2+2’? And I tell them look, we know what 2+2 is. We’ve had almost eight years of the worst kind of math you can imagine. Oh my God, I can’t believe it. Addition and subtraction of the 1s the 2s and the 3s. It’s terrible. It’s just terrible. Look, if you want to know what 2+2 is, do you want to know what 2+2 is? I’ll tell you. First of all the number 2, by the way, I love the number 2. It’s probably my favorite number, no it is my favorite number. You know what, it’s probably more like the number two but with a lot of zeros behind it. A lot. If I’m being honest, I mean, if I’m being honest. I like a lot of zeros. Except for Marco Rubio, now he’s a zero that I don’t like. Though, I probably shouldn’t say that. He’s a nice guy but he’s like, ‘10101000101,’ on and on, like that. He’s like a computer! You know what I mean? He’s like a computer. I don’t know. I mean, you know. So, we have all these numbers, and we can add them and subtract them and add them. TIMES them even. Did you know that? We can times them OR divide them, they don’t tell you that, and I’ll tell you, no one is better at the order of operations than me. You wouldn’t believe it. So, we’re gonna be the best on 2+2, believe me.”

I was for Trump and Cruz in second place.

Now it is Trump all the way and negative on Cruz.

When protesters shut down a Trump rally and Cruz blames it on Trump, Cruz is part of the problem.

2+2 has always been very nice to me. I love 2+2. And 2+2 is a vet, and we love our vets.

Thanks for being honest. But we sure could have used all these Trump fans years ago when we AND cruz have been fighting D.C.

I’m glad you’re involved now, but please try to understand the Cruz supporters frustration.

I started out Dr. Carson. Then went to Cruz. Now I have no one. But it doesn’t matter in my case. I live in N.J. & we have no say in the primary process.
I think I will write in my wifes name. Or maybe Mighty Mouse.

Cruz's full statments

Maybe listen to his entire remarks, before falling in lockstep with the media and slanderers....

Nothing that Cruz said was any different, than what Trump said of Pamela Gellar in the Muhammed events. In fact, Cruz has MORE justification in his assessment, since it is true Trump is in a higher position that sets a tone for how people respond, and there has been violence FROM his supporters and his security toward people.

Stating the obvious, is NOT limited for only Trump to do, FYI. And if others are going to get chastized for it, Trump should be held to those same standards!!!

You won’t get very many answers to that question, because there are very few non Trump supporters that are left. We have been mostly chased away. I am about done myself.

To answer your question. I was always Cruz first, with Trump as a strong second. I am now firmly in the “Never Trump” camp, along with the rest of my family.

Not a bad idea. Mighty Mouse would be a better president than Trump.

I will never let the perfect be the enemy of the good. I will vote for the nominee because it’s important to defeat the socialists. Everybody still running in either party is loathsome, IMHO, but I’ve rarely been able to vote for someone I like.

“the trumpbots are fanatics. I doubt any of them have changed. if the crap that has come out of that guy’s mouth hasn’t changed their minds by now, nothing can.”

But Cruz supporting BLM and the BernBots lost him a ton of support.

Must suck.

I’ve gone from thinking trump was amusing, to a dangerous fascist.
