Conservative Radio to Donald Trump: Like Ted Cruz or You Lose
The Daily Beast ^ | January 20, 2016 | Betsy Woodruff

Posted on 01/20/2016 6:43:33 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

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....

Nonsense.

If you insist on spouting nonsense why bother posting.

Betsy has it wrong. Talk radio is not GETTING ON Trump for finally campaigning against Cruz. They are on his case because of Trump’s petty playground bully nastiness and his obvious willingness to try to win regardless of the costs.

I repeat:
Donald Trump is a hardcore leftist cut from the same cloth as Bill Deblasio, Andrew Cuomo and Barack Obama.

Trumpets can't handle the truth.
Donald Trump = Barack Obama II

Remember that Reagan and Bush fought tooth and claw throughout the spring of 1980.

“I’m paying for this microphone” happened because Bush wanted to exclude the other candidates and go one-on-one with Reagan, whose policy positions included what Bush called “voodoo economics”.

Such a moment— and such a team— may yet be in the offing.

Full disclosure: I intend to vote Cruz in the primary. I WILL vote for the nominee in November, whether it’s Trump, Cruz, or a loaded baked potato.

Cruz is NWO for sure. I can take a little cronyism IF it is true, but I CAN’T STAND TRAITORS. ANYBODY for the NWO is AGAINST AMERICAN and THAT IS TREASON.

Depends on how you measure what a conservative is. If it is whatever Trump says this week, well then Ted Cruz and Mark Levin are not that kind of conservative.

Really????

Do you think “REAL CONSERVATIVES” are for a police state?

Do you think that is what George Washington and Thomas Jefferson intended?

Cruz switched his position the NSA spying of all Americans right before the last debate. So Cruz was siding with the Establishment.

Last time I checked Trump wanted to build a wall and Cruz did not. Cruz once again siding with the Establishment.

Trump wants to renegotiate the rigid trade deals with China and Mexico to bring jobs back to America. Cruz does not want this and sides with the Establishment by passing the TPA that gives the President the fast track.

So we have three different instances where Cruz is siding with the Establishment AGAINST the American People.

Oh but you still think Cruz is the “real conservative”. LOL!

It’s not conservative to have Crony Capitalism, ignore the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights or be in favor of a police state.

This site used to be a refuge to get away from the liberals and establishment big government cronies and for god fearing, liberty loving, fiscal and moral conservatives to fellowship and to discuss issues and to work towards moving America back to its Constitutional and moral roots.

I don’t recognize this place anymore.

It’s beginning to look like every other secular site on the internet.

This spake the recently signed up paid Trump troll.
Donald Trump is the poster child for crony capitalism. Every dollar he ever made has crony capitalism dripping from it.

It means he knows the system and how to accomplish what he wanted.

I suppose he could have done less and settled, but that’s not his personality. That’s why we need a fighter and achiever like him.

What does religion have to do with it, or is it a separate subject? It’s between him and God. Faith should be private. If it’s not, then the Bible is not being followed and I wouldn’t trust that person.

“Mollypitcher1 Since Apr 22, 2015”

That is true and so is Helicondelta Since Aug 9, 2015.
So is WENDLE Since July 4, 2015.

WENDLE says, “I want you to know that Donald is here. He watches us with his folks. He gets short briefings. I assure you that he knows of your leadership.”

It appears what happens on FR goes to Trump.

You are right.

It almost looks like Trump sees that he’s running out of steam with conservatives, so its time look to the other side to get him through.

Trump is the candidate who favors a police state. Cruz is somewhere between Trump andoes Rand Paul on that issue.

It’s your choice and your right to do as you deem necessary. But I’d like to see supporters of
any candidate stay above the name calling, etc. We all have different pocesses of selecting
the candidate we want to support and let’s respect that as individuals.

Take care and may Trump be the next President of the USA.
