I agree with you. libbylu is one of the worst offenders here. There are about 14 of them.

Yup... I look forward to day the GOP front runners remember go back to criticizing the democrats instead of each other.

Really? BOR doesn’t fight anything. He couldn’t care less about liberals. He “fights” conservatives more.

“If Cruz is the nominee, Trump supporters will vote for Cruz.

If Trump is the nominee, I get the feeling some of the Cruz supporters will stay home.”

I sorry to have to say it, but I agree with you. The big picture is we need change in Washington. The status quo has got to go.

“Sorry. I have listened to trumpees bash Cruz for the BC, GS and all the rest of the stuff DT has drug up Huck style and their adoring love for DT and denial that anything he has ever said or done matters. As long as that goes on I will defend Cruz with facts and a smile.”

That is ironic coming from you. I’ve seen you insult not just Trump, but Trump supporters repeatedly completely unprovoked.

You also are one of the first to show up on a Trump thread, just to start attacking everyone there.

That said, I can think of one other Cruz supporter that is even worse, more hateful, and more condescending than you are.

When you use terms like “creepers” you aren’t helping keep the peace. libbylu is a passionate Cruz supporter as am I. There are many posters just as passionate on the pro Trump side and for the most part we all keep our disagreements civil.

However, we all have to be careful to keep it civil or its easy for these discussions to escalate. I do want to be sure though that no one tries to cut off debate in the name of civility because having passionate disagreements and discussion about the pros and cons of the candidates is a good thing. Its the ad hominum attacks and personal insults that we all need to be careful to avoid.

Yep, my favorite line from the Trump supporters was that Reagan was a democrat.

However, he became POTUS 18 YEARS later, and after building up a strong portfolio of Conservative credentials.

Based on that argument, I call upon Donald Trump to wait until 2027 to run for POTUS. Till then, I see him as a risk of flip flop itis.

Absolutely not true.

Every night he rails against liberal corruption and the decline of America.

Generally agreed.

Cruz is by far the most doctrinally pure conservative - but still has flaws.
Trump is by far the most electable and expressing sufficiently conservative leanings - but still has flaws.

I like Cruz, I’m fine with Trump. Don’t understand why the differences in preference so often have to devolve into visceral berating hatred of “the other guy”, when both are FAR more preferable to Clinton or Sanders. Anyone declaring something akin to “well, if ______ gets the nomination I’ll just vote Democrat” is a blithering idiot.

Calm down people, vote in the primary for who you _want_, then vote in the general for who you _get_.

Well...I am disgusted beyond belief that many on this conservative website with so-called conservative principles would back a liberal-hack, phony conservative. I’ll let you decipher the candidate that I speak so highly of...

“Calm down people, vote in the primary for who you _want_, then vote in the general for who you _get_.”

And you wonder why we are in the mess we are in? You just called for more of the same that got us here. People won’t stand for anything because you leave yourselves a less than conservative ‘out’. Then you ensure by not voting for a conservative that the ‘out’ is the ‘OHMYGODTHE WORLDISOVER!!! choice we just have to vote for.
