How long before the Trump worship results in people fainting at Trumps political rallies?

He gave a good speech! Where have I heard that before?

Goodwill? What goodwill? Sarah has been ripped to shreds by every political/media entity since 2008.

Indeed. Palin has always been about “going rogue”, being the voice of the ousider, the private business person, the hockey mom - in the formerly smoke-filled rooms where the traditional party business determined who would be our leaders.

She has challenged the R party, the media, the special interests, and other Republicans her entire life. There’s nothing disingenuous about her endorsing Trump, in fact it is perfectly in line with her family and traditional values and her political approach. THose who try to make her into some kind of ivory-tower ideologue are confusing her with the people she often opposes.

Nor shoudl anyone be surprised when a thinking person chooses to endorse one man as the best choice for the US Senate and another man as the best choice for President. They are two independent events and the result of different times and circumstances. Those who don’t like that should just by a parrot.

When she was running as VP with a beady eyed establishment liberal rino, the conservatives loved her.

If you can’t see a difference between them then I guess you will be staying home. But that’s better than you voting for ill-ary so thanks in advance.

When the media attacked Palin there was as always silence from the conservatives.

Oh please I’ve been to the Raleigh rally and no one fainted even though people were packed against each other and to the rafters:-) You Cruzers are too funny. BTW Cruz/Trump Trump/Cruz is just fine with me. It’s too bad you folks are so narrow minded.

1) Purist conservatives stand in moral judgment of realist conservatives

2) Purist conservatives withhold their vote or threaten to do so if a realist or center-right candidate is nominated

3) Purist conservatives deny reality and refuse to team with realists who are willing to make incremental progress rather than lose entirely

3) Purist conservatives engage in monkey-screeching disdain and mocking of any candidate or their supporters who attempt to innovate, break the mold, come from a different angle towards the same ultimate goal, or speak a different lingo than themselves

4) Purist conservative’s underlying political impulse is theocratic fascism; yet they accuse other political factions of fascism

5) Purist conservatives are every bit as humorless and narcissistic as purist progressives

6) Purist conservatives, if they can’t win because their sour judgmental elitism has turned the majority off, don’t want anyone else to win, either. Then they blame the realists for the punishments dished out by the progressives that the Purists helped elect, even though the realists actually want to win, but can’t get the Purists to accept objective reality long enough to soil themselves by voting for an imperfect human being with realistic conservative goals.

Trump people have a genuine good time at his rallies it’s not worship like people who follow crusading ideologues do. They have fun just like anyone would at a Trump event he puts on. For a guy who has a few billion in his pocket he’s a very normal guy with the average folks and according to his employees he’s always been that way.. Very often he walks down to the mail room of his company just to shake hands with his guys who he knows by name and gets his coffee from the coffee machine like everybody else

BTW Cruz/Trump Trump/Cruz is just fine with me.

With me too. So, it's only SOME of the Cruz supporters raising a stink. Or...ARE they truly Cruz supporters. Who are these disrupters smelling up the FR joint?

You get raised and live in NY and see how you are brought up and what the environment is there and what your initial values are/will be. And then like myself you (Trump) go change your attitude and views because you start seeing the truth in the world. Then you run into folks like you who want people to see the light and change their ways and what do you do? You ostracize them and throw them to the wolves. Well I can tell you I was like Trump and lost a lot of my lie-b friends with no regrets. And I meet some folks now and then living here in the south who like you can’t see past that I was a Yankee:-)

My thoughts, too. Thank you.

Way too much whining and misrepresenting here.

Half the things said about Trump are distortions, and another quarter are lies.

She threw her support behind a man - tied at the hip to wall street - tied to unions - supports abortion - has supported gun control - has deep financial ties and interests with foreign entities and a myriad of other liberal causes. Why would any conservative throw their support behind him?

I've been asking myself ,about not only Sarah throwing her support behind The Donald, but many many here, and even Rush Limbaugh soft peddling it today. I've truly lost confidence in the " Tea Party" movement, grass roots. This candidate is more RINO than was Mitt Romney... and loves MITCH McCONNELL... am I dreaming or what??
