Mark Levin says Trump fans are trashing the National Review. Seems the other way around.

No different than those claiming that Trump trashes his opponents when in truth, Trump merely responds to trashing against him. In every case, Trump's opponents drew first blood.

How does Cruz do coming out of a contested convention that splits the party?

About the same that Trump does coming out of a convention, contested or not, that splits the Party.

If Goldberg wants to say he will complain and account for Trump if elected and describe his short comings as he sees them, that would be fine if done after the election.

For now, support your candidate and quit sliming the others. Makes Goldberg seem as petty as all of NR.

Goldberg and the rest of the neo-con artists should just go ahead and start Neo-Cons for Hillary, and be done with it.

From the article:
People ask me all the time, “If Trump is the nominee, who will you vote for?”

I concede that for conservatives living in swing states, this is a legitimately painful decision. Clinton and Sanders alike would be horror shows. But my answer is simple: I will never vote for Trump and I will never vote for Hillary or Bernie. Period.

"You and your wise elders should see that a Cruz Presidency after a Trump Presidency would be more fitting and carry greater influence that a Cruz Presidency would now."

You know, I could live with that. There is a lot of instinctive quality in that statement. We are too far down the road to have anything but a secular President at this point - therefore we must have a secular President first to dismantle the apparatus, to tame the Leviathan, to break the Behemoth. And then a theocrat can build it back up. But it probably won't be Cruz as VP, so whatever...

So for you it’s not about winning in November, it’s just about beating Trump?

I’ve asked the question numerous times to Cruz supporters and I’ve never had one reply where they said Cruz would win in November after a contested convention. Yet they still want a contested convention.

Which tells me the majority of Cruz supporter here would rather beat Trump than Hillary. Pathetic.

I’ve enjoyed some of his stuff in the past, but the Trump Derangement Syndrome has driven me away from Beck, Rush, Fox, and a host of pundits and writers.
It’s becoming clearer who is on the side of the citizens and the rule of law and who is on the side of the globalists, illegal aliens and their employers.

"If he is a tyrant against conservatives will you disagree?"

Nope. Just watch you sweat.

And so the crux finally outs. How many more will now make that final statement?

You put words in my mouth that weren’t there. The majority of polls indicate that Cruz runs far stronger than Trump against Hillary.

So, I could rework your question. Is your goal simply to nominate Trump regardless of whether or not that means Hillary becomes President?

I’ve been told many times by many FReepers that to not vote for the GOP candidate was the same as voting for the Democrat.
