An appeal to Trump and Cruz supporters
American Thinker ^ | March 28, 2016 | Lee Cary

We must resist the Socialist Democrats’ effort to forge, with the MSM’s aid, an irreparable split between us.

Full disclosure: I voted for Cruz in the Texas primary. If Trump is the GOP nominee, I’ll vote for him in November.

I will not approach, in either case, the voting booth as I voted for McRomney, with a pinched nose. But with zeal. If my car won’t start, I’ll walk to the polling booth – only because I’m too old to run.

Today, some Trump supporters are feeling surrounded by three camps: one from the GOPe’s Machiavellian efforts to find a third way other than Trump or Cruz; by Slithery Hillary’s sustained but weakening campaign, inevitably touted by rigged polling; and by that Anglo army of Comrade Bernie supporters made up of aging Democrat Socialists aligned with college-aged snowflakes who were never taught the definition and history of socialism by the progressive academies of “higher education.”

Meanwhile, for Trump and Cruz, the other is the immediate adversary – as it should be at this point. But we will all pass this point.

As the interim mud wrestling between the two leading Republican candidates continues, let’s remember we share a serious and common adversary who will, eventually, require us to unite: the final POTUS candidate of the Democrat Socialist Party....

I’m a Trump supporter and would vote for Cruz in the general election without hesitation.

That being said, I won’t invest time, energy, emotion, or money in his campaign.

Hillary would likely obliterate Cruz in the general election.

“Sorry, I will never vote for Trump. He is nothing more than Obama is different clothes.”

The last time some junior Senator whose supporters claimed he was the Messiah and was a Harvard lawyer with a questionable citizenship we got Obama. Different party, same attitude.

Agreed. The way the GOPe and dems are driving this sh** show, it’ll be Ryan or Bush or freakin Romney - yes, they are that determined to plow through with this no borders garbage.

The worst is yet to come and it makes me sick.

I’ll give you a list of newbies who are rabid Cruz fans.

Works both ways.

“I don’t like Trump, and I’ll be embarrassed to have to vote for him. His lunatic suppoters, even some on FR? I’d bust them in the mouth in real life. I really loathe them to pieces.”

Nice. And yet Cruzbots play the holier than thou act time and time again. I’ve yet to see a Trump supporter say anything CLOSE to what you just wrote here.

Where is your list?

Funny you are the only one to know of all these new Cruzbots. Sort of like Trump “trust me, I know”?

The article mentions that Trump supporters feel surrounded by 3 competing forces. Make that 4—as of this weekend, this Trump supporter also feels surrounded by those who allegedly support him but are doing harm to his campaign by churning the most ill-conceived smear in memory. Want to help Trump? THEN STOP HELPING ALREADY!! Makes me wonder if these people are actually Trump supporters at all—hard to believe anyone actually believe this sort of nonsenses plays well.

That said, notwithstanding my support for Trump, I will vote for Cruz should he be nominated. We must deny the Whitehouse to HRC or Bernie the Red.

Seems that way. Ever conservative talk show host, every conservative writer, every conservative publication, not to mention the 1st Amendment has been tossed under the Trump bus-ride over the cliff, why not FR or Liberty?

There seems to be two distinct “Trump or no one” camps. First is the hardcore libertarian anarchist Ron Paul-bots, who are still PO’d about 2012 (Convention and FR shut-up) and the new sign up ones that sure come across like paid Trumpbots.

I’m with you! They will likely self-destruct after the 2nd Ballot.

Knock it off. I’m not the only one who noticed and quite frankly, a bunch were already zotted.

There was a Cruz supporter making the same nonsensical claim as you and after pm’ing them some names, well suffice to say they never brought it up again.

They are not difficult to miss, on both sides.

No problem, it may take me a bit as I haven’t bothered with them in quite some time. Thanks

Yes, I am the author of the Trump article, and also the majority of the almost 300 items at the web site. There are also several dozen historic & literary items, which are clearly attributed to their authors. However, even some of these have comments by me--as for example the Study Guide that accompanies the link to the Declaration Of Independence.

Thank you for the approving comment.
