Conservative talk-radio stars gleefully watched as The Donald rubbed everyone in media and Republican circles the wrong way. But now that he's turned his fire on Cruz, they're picking sides--and it's not Trump's.
In a gentler, tenderer age--an age long gone--Donald Trump brought talk radio hosts together.
These were the simple, balmy days of last summer, when radio talkers agreed that even Trump performed an invaluable public service by driving national media and the Republican establishment totally out of their minds. But those days are gone....

Hilarious...coming from the Goldman-Sachs-Bush-Roberts cabal candidate.
The Soros investing in Chicago’s Trump Tower meme (which I just found out is the latest meme the poor CRuzer’s are pushing) is desperately hilarious.
Sarah is right....this IS going to be fun.
I can picture a bunch of paid operatives sitting in Trump headquarters just trashing Cruz and pimping for Trump 24/7 on this forum.
Taking over this forum would be a big feather in Donald Trump’s hat. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if a lot of these Trump pimps and Cruz bashers are on the payroll of the Trump campaign.
This place used to be solid Cruz Country. Now if you are supporting anyone but Trump you are a _________ fill in the blank with some four letter words.
15K attended, 5K could not get in....20K, total. Great crowd, who want to see America great, again!
Winning? Janey, how many votes have been taken so far? Can you count to ZERO?
I tend to agree. Rush seems to be willing to let conservatism die without a fight and just jump on board the populist bandwagon. However, I think even the populists are going to find that Trump will betray and sell them out to the establishment.
“They just keep pimping Trump and trashing Cruz 24/7.”
They do not just trash Cruz, they trash the Cruz poster as well with personal attacks. Jim has asked they not do that, but this thread shows it will continue. This is not Free Republic anymore and that is a pity.
The ol RonPaulistas were equally nasty.
Paranoid much?
Reminds me of that ‘when’s the primary?” question :)
Time will tell, regarding the votes, FRiend.
Your gut is right. Trump is the great pretender.
Taking a loan against your investment account doesn’t make you a lackey of your bank and you know it. Trump is the one who has hobnobbed with the establishment for years, even admits that he was part of the establishment, and now is bragging that the establishment is coming on board with his campaign.
Thanks for the info.
I had some Trump poster yesterday tell me he was ready to “go postal” on the Cruz supporters here. The post was deleted, but he wasn’t. He’s still here pimping for Trump and trashing Cruz and calling anyone who doesn’t agree with him all manner of bad names.
Your claim was he was WINNING, not predicting a future win.
Can’t be any more problematic than they are now. Control of the House and control of the Senate and not one thing or vote the way the people want. Can’t be any worse the next time around. The only way to go is up!
“Your gut is right. Trump is the great pretender.”
That fits - “Trump The Great Pretender”
What exactly have the ^true conservatives^ in congress accomplished?
Obamacare scrapped?
Illegals deported?
Wall built?
Anchor babies outlawed?
National debt reduced?
Abortion restricted?
China trade deficit reduced?
Food stamp growth curbed?
Welfare growth reduced?
Fraud in Medicare & Social Security under control? (25% of Medicare payments go to fraudulent claims, and there are tens of thousands of people over age 110 still getting social security checks automatically)
If Trump can deliver any 3 of above, he is more than enough conservative for most rational people.

Doesn't have time for political correctness.
Not afraid to call out either party or both when they are wrong.
Not a puppet to rich campaign donors. Go Trump 2016! Born in America of two US Citizen Parents! A Natural Born Citizen without having to go through courts!
Janey, all those hundreds of pollsters...they are just a big waste of money. Throwing the money away for no reason! Why are they spending millions to poll voters? /Sarc
Are you knocking a winning formula?
You prefer another formula which loses elections?
May be the establishment sees the writing on the wall?
