You’re correct. Sasse did say he’d support a third party conservative candidate. But isn’t that in effect handing the election to hillary? Isn’t that exactly what the party elite are willing to do?

And protecting the US from foreign invasion is not the primary Constitutional obligation of the President? As Senator Sessions has demonstrated, working with Trump does seem to be the best way to get conservative principles embodied in the changes which will occur.

Using so many words to convince others (and maybe himself), Sasse comes off as a professional concern troll. But I’d expect no less from any party first politician.

The bigger enemy by a thousand fold is the RAT party. Who are their icons but the vulture of Islam Hussein Barack Obama, Bernie sanders the open socialist monster, and Hillary rotten.

Yes, it was a crude post. But we all get tired of this nightly barrage of Trump-hater articles and tempers boil over I guess.

Now, when I see one, I make SURE that I’ve gone over to the daily FR Caucus and have voted for Trump!

“and where was trump during those years...helping the GOPe...creating the environment where corker/alexander/mconnell/schumer got things done”

Doing just like the rest of us who were giving what they could to get the so-called “Republican” party to hear us while living our daily lives. Some had and still have more resources than others and gave more hoping to sway any politician. All others could do was make phone calls and write letters.

He finally realized that was not working, just like so many of us. We tried Tea Party and then when that was co-opted, went rogue. Trump has stated numerous times the reason he got in was for the same reason that we went rogue in saying the hell with it, I’ll just spend the money to try it myself.

There is nothing more complicated about it than that.

Look at statements from Obama:

If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.

Nobody is more ticked off about these charges that the IRS is targeting conservatives.

The movie caused reasonable people to kill 4 Americans in Benghazi.

We will get to the bottom of this scandal.

My point: talk is cheap. We need to judge people on their ACTIONS not on what they say.””

And the RAT party has their opponents at each other’s throats while the vulture of Islam sits in the most powerful position in the world. He is the common enemy, not republican opponents. Voting records tell the story.

Sooner or later, you're going to get the message and realize that your continuous Trump-hating spam only helps the 'RATS:

I suppose you would support Mark Kirk, Thad Cochran, Mitch McConnell, Scott Brown, Romney, and any other “electable” Republican the GOPe tells you to vote for.

That is the problem.

Given what we know about him today, here's where I'm at: If Donald Trump becomes the Republican nominee, my expectation is that I will look for some third candidate - a conservative option, a Constitutionalist.

Well wifey, it's clear that you have found your savior and your next political suicidal venture.

Good luck with ben's asse, and his conservative option a Constipated Unicorn.

When you make that decision, maybe Jim will send you to FReeper Limbo, for about 10 years.

So, did Sasse and Cruzbio firm a coalition to stop the Corker Bill?

No. They voted for it.

Did Sasse and Cruzbio form a coalition to stop TPP?

No. They voted for it.

Did Sasse support his “buddy” Ted Cruz by attending a hearing designed to stop “global warming”?

Nope. Skipped it.

Did Sasse vote for McConnell as Majority Leader?

Yep.

And THIS GUY is going to give advice on being a “conservative”?

I guess you missed all the Republicans who fought the good fight

The ones part of the Gang Of Eight (Rubio)? The ones investigating Benghazi? The ones who ran on shrinking .gov spending? et;al.

Those Republicans? I've been voting for them since 1976 on the belief that one of them would have the integrity to keep his word. I'm voting for Trump. He gets things done. He has a proven track record of doing so.
Show me where the other two have done the same.

But I cannot support Donald Trump>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Wrong.

Trump is the US equivalent of Winston Churchill. He has about him a grim determination to put America back on track , for it has been derailed by nationalist socialists, in particular the Obama movement which has made it a policy to violate the Constitution.

This was pedicted:

Read it here if you do not believe, a historical analysis:

http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html

We do not need an “in the box” political hack as president. We need a great citizen who is strong and grimly determined the way Trump is.The People are about to recreate America, YET AGAIN.

Can you imagine, we have Czars who report the political ideology of our various civil servants and military personnel back to Obama. They are treated accordingly as to their ideology rather than job performance.We need Trump very badly, no one else will do.

Another politico seduced by the trappings of power. He went to do good, but instead ended up doing very well. It’s a time of choosing, and he chooses to stay on the gravy train just a little longer.

Humbly my @$$....

He can preach to someone else - there might be a few who will listen to this "paragon of humility".

...um...they just passed another 2 trillion dollar budget. What you think the tea party people are doing isn’t actually working. This is what we mean when we say all talk and no action (results)

Blah, blah, blah. Rambling screed.

“but I believe many Trump fans are well-meaning.”

What an arrogant, condescending prick. Has he ever had a real job in his life, or has he been ensconsed in academia his entire life? Jerk.

We don’t care what he or his elite ilk think. We want to destroy the GOP PTB in DC. Trump is the only one who can do that.
