Awww… You got your butt kicked, fair and square, and your feelings are hurt and you’re sobbing, “If I can’t win, then he ain’t going to win either”. That might have been an excusable attitude back when you were in the third grade, but this is the grownup world now and it’s time to put your long pants on, man up and think about somebody other than yourselves!
If “he” doesn’t win, guess what?: She’s going to win!
“She” is the Obama/Clinton Machine that’s gotten us in the deplorable mess we’re in right now.
You “Never Trumpers” should carefully consider these alternatives:
If Hilarious wins, you will be in large part responsible, and the American people will not be very appreciative of the disastrous results that are sure to follow (and they’ll have four years to think about it).
If Trump wins, I think he might be the kind of guy who holds a grudge and will be totally justified in looking for ways in which he can show his gratitude for your “help” (and he’ll have four years to think about it).
The way I see it, regardless of who wins: YOU LOSE!!
The Donald won the nomination playing by the same rules that everybody else had to follow. “The sun got in my eyes”, or “the umpire didn’t like me”, might have worked back when you were playing kids’ games, but it’s time to get over it, grow up, and start playing for the team, before it’s too late!!
I don’t think grudges are his thing honestly.
Guys at that level play to win, beat the hell out of each other, and then someone wins and someone loses, and then they work together to make money. Grudges are a thing for us on earth, not so much a thing on Olympus.
We saw that a bit on both sides during the primary. Trump is more than willing to work with his vanquished adversaries. His vanquished adversaries, less so.
That’s not to say that at that level the best will be best buds, but if it’s beneficial to work together, they will.
We're still indifferent, though.
Are you saying that Trump is losing?
“I will remember and will never trust them in the future.”
I can’t believe they’re so stupid that they can’t foresee the backlash that will befall them, but…
“we all need to communicate with less vitriol.”
Yeah, we tried the nice guy, high road strategy in ’08 and ’12. Look how well that worked out!
You sound like you might be a closet liberal to me.
You say this is a grownup world and then you play the schoolyard bully. This is a very serious election. You don’t call people names. Hillary would do so much damage to this country. If Trump is to win, he needs every vote he can get. If you truly want the party to be united, you cannot be rude and insulting. No matter how hard it is you reach across the aisle and try to convince as many voters as you can. Don’t you think the future of our country is worth it?
Are you intentionally trying to throw the election for Hillary? Do you want all Republicans to be alienated from voting for Trump?
You are part of the problem. We must win. We must defeat Hillary. Your being a jerk is not helping.
“You sound like you might be a closet liberal to me.”
If by “liberal” you mean I want to win over as many votes for Trump as possible, then sure, I’m a “liberal.”
You, on the other hand, sound like someone who wants to throw the election to Hillary.
No the globalists do not cry because their fwweeelings are hurt. Globalists are scared and fearful.
Because Globalists CANNOT COMPETE. They fear others will run a better business than they can. But failure is where they should be, so they learn and improve.
Their crutch is cheap labor because they have difficulty communicating with adults. Same as any small business.
Incompetant people fear competition, especially Globalists.
“officially declare NeverTrumpers as weird.”
I think they unofficially had that designation bestowed on them when they first reared their infantile heads.
With the Republic at stake, someone "being a jerk" doesn't have any influence on voter preference.
Don't confuse justified anger and passion with "being a jerk".
There's no use trying to cajole NeverTrumpers or butthurt Ted Cruz fanboys who won't vote for Trump under any circumstances.
This isn't an election where kissing anyone's ass is going to make a dime's worth of difference. Each individual voter is going to need to do the right thing in the face of being told the blunt truth.
This is an election where the right choice is clear to anyone who is intellectually honest.
So Vote Trump or be a chump!
“There’s no use trying to cajole NeverTrumpers or butthurt Ted Cruz fanboys who won’t vote for Trump under any circumstances.”
That’s your problem. That is how you are misunderstanding what we need to do.
Yes, we *do* need to appeal to those (like me) who have supported Cruz. If we dismiss potential Trump voters, he will have a hard time overcoming the coming voter fraud.
You don’t need to “kiss anyone’s ass.” You just need to stop being a vitriolic jerk.
Caught your May post. We are of like mind.
I think there are more of us than “our leaders” seem to be aware of.
We’ve got to get a lot more vocal.
Pathetic.
Admin can you please zot this thread.
There’s enough childish nyaaahhh nyaahhh from liberals.
Revenge on those who wronged you leads to destruction.
Please list your issues.
“Trump is more than willing to work with his vanquished adversaries.”
I agree, he will work with them, but he won’t forget… And I won’t blame him!!
If my (or anyone else's) alleged "jerkness" prevents any individual from voting for Donald Trump, then that individual is an ignorant fool who I wouldn't want in a foxhole beside me.
Trump isn't going to change his attitude, and neither are his voters.
Every voter is voting for the individual candidate, not their supporters.
I'd rather SHAME someone into voting for Trump with the reality of the situation than CAJOLE them into doing so by watering down my passion, and I think the former tactic will result in far more Trump voters than the latter, who will continue to look for the least excuse to change their timid mind.
I, for one, won't moderate convictions one iota. And, parenthetically, IMHO, I haven't been a jerk in the first place. You presume facts not in evidence. I'm simply saying that timidity and patronization will have a net negative effect for Trump.
My conviction remains that the true jerks are those acting as if there's any alternative to voting Trump, and thereby playing games with the future of the Republic.
So it's time to grow up, children, and stop blaming others for inexcusable and unforgivable vacillation regarding the correct choice here.
So vote for Hillary or vote for Trump. Choose wisely.
My thoughts are exactly like yours. He should be given a chance.
“Don’t be a prick”
Ah ha!! The name-calling gave you away!
You are definitely a closet liberal!!
