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

Posted on 03/28/2016 1:55:38 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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....

“Don’t look now, but Trump is the only anti-establishment candidate left running. The GOPe is now backing Cruz to the hilt and he’s doing their bidding. Fiorino has come out for the GOPe big time, and is throwing all her schoolmarm charm Cruz’s way. Rubio’s a fricking amnesty traitor and Kasich is all in big government GOPe.

Thankfully, Carson has seen the light and so has Sessions and they’re backing Trump.

Cruz has let his ambition get the better of him and has lost it. He’s been thoroughly indoctrinated, corrupted and absorbed by those we’re fighting against. He’s now fighting with the GOP and the establishment political class against We The People.

And unfortunately, some of our very own have been unwittingly sucked into the GOPe vortex.”

Wake up vet! The enemy is within the gates not just on the Dem ticket.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that Cankles, Bernie, et. al. are supplementing the incomes of a few FReepers that signed up this summer.

And here’s the problem. Under other circumstances, I would have voted for Cruz — I donated to his campaign several times. Even though I hold a very low opinion of him now, I would have voted for him to avoid Hillary. But, I simply cannot this time around: I do not believe he’s eligible. By his own words, not all that long ago, he, himself, didn’t believe he was eligible.

From the comments on FR, I’m beginning to lose hope that the Constitution and the nation can be saved at this point.

I’m the opposite - but I will vote Cruz in November if he’s the nominee.

Let’s keep our sights on the real enemy of our Republic, the Dems (and, specifically, Clinton). If Clinton becomes President, it cements everything that Obama did into place...and then it gets worse - WAY worse. Our Republic may literally not survive.

Time to stop the senseless personal attacks, time to start discussing in a positive way what each candidate would do to help fix this country.

Didn’t Sanders just take 6 states to hiliary’s 1 state?

Hiliary might win by dem fix just like Ryan or mittens by win by Repub fix thanks to Ted but the election isn’t decided by corrupt delegates and dirty rules and trickes. Trump would kick hiliary to the curb. Sanders will only get the hard socialist vote he can’t reach most Americans even dems.

On the off-chance that Cruz somehow gets the nomination, I’ll vote for him. Not happily, because at the very least I believe his judgment is SEVERELY compromised, but I will.

Any other establishment stooge, I’d rather vote third-party, because it’s getting to the point where there’s no real difference between the parties.

I understand where you are coming from but he would be marginally better than the old commie or the slightly younger commie so I would vote for him even knowing he is an agile with barely passable knowledge of any issue with hat requires a bit of thought.

Sorry, I’ll never for Cruz. He’s nothing more than worse than Obama. He’s got the slack-jawed yokels flim-flammed. BTW, Heidi needs whatever you can spare. Second mortgage your house, sell the kids,

I share the same sentiment. Which is why I find it difficult to support Trump. In my view, a Trump presidency is the equivalent of putting a band-aid over an infected wound which will only serve to exacerbate our problems.

Maybe he builds a wall, right-sides trade, defeats ISIS but that only serves to create a 'safe space' for America to continue with the status quo, devoid of constitutional and moral principle. All of these issues, when you look at the objectively, are external and incidental. A form of situational politics.

I would be happy with either Trump or Cruz winning the Republican nomination. I would prefer Trump because I think Trumpbwould actually do what he says because his ego on the line after having made all these promises and I don’t think he could stand not fulfilling them.

I will NEVER vote for any candidate the GOPe would force on Republicans in a brokered convention. We had a vote in the people’s vote should count. If the GOP tries to force a candidate in the convention I will stay a Republican but do everything I can to take out Republican incumbents in the primary for a long, long time.

the site owner has determined that is not an acceptable position for FR users.

My faith in FR is gone. So at this point, if I’m gone, then I’m gone.

Cruz has let his ambition get the better of him and has lost it.

This I think is an argument in favor of Trump. In the mid to late eighties he let is ambition get the better of him and had to learn a lesson in humility in the first half of the nineties. Cruz being young has not had to learn a lesson in humility.

I agree.

We’ll never know, but it was hopeful (by me at least)that their meeting in Manhattan resulted in some kind of agreement or understanding that they would see to it that both of them would prevail. The only question was who was going to be POTUS first, ans who would carry the torch the second eight years.

Seems like a monumental waste of an opportunity.

“I will vote the most effective way I can to keep hillary out, and that means voting for the GOP nominee. I voted Cruz in Primary, if Trump wins the nomination, I will not enjoy voting for him, but I will do it. Voting for someone with only some conservative values is better than electing someone with none”

I would vote for a can of tuna rather than Hillary, Sanders or any of the Dems that might step up at an indictment.
