Freepers are backing a big-government, eminent domain-loving, single-payer healthcare supporting leftist like Trump over Walker, a true union-buster with a conservative record as a Governor in a blue state.
The Republican Party and this site is quickly collapsing because "conservatives" really don't know what they stand for, and are caught up in the merging of the celebrity cult(ure) and politics.
Or more likely, you just don't "get it."
This website is far from collapsing.
The GOP has been dead since they decided to elevate folks like Boehnor, McConnell, McCarthy, et al to leadership positions.
I don’t think you understand the support for Trump. No one thinks he’s a great conservative, I’m pretty sure. We all know his past. He’s not a life long card carrying Republican (like Bush, McConnell, Bohener, etc). But most feel we’re going to get a another sacrificial spineless punching bag to be served up on a platter to the Clinton Machine. And we’ll lose again.
So why not support a former Dem, with an admittedly shaky past, who will at the very least go down with all guns blazing and torch the corrupt media cartel and both parties, while educating the apolitical types about political corruption.

Preach it, Brother. Many, many FReepers have become sad caracatures of what we used to be. Once free thinkers of principle, we are now lemmings willing to follow whatever megalomaniac is willing to indulge our hurt feelings in order to further their own personal agendas. “Who cares what liberal nonsense they have recently said and done - I’m mad now!”
I agree. I must admit I take pleasure in some of his comments, but in the same way I used to take pleasure in Howard Stern’s comments. Trump is not a serious person, let alone potential President, let alone conservative President. Come to think of it, its not much different than Howard Stern running for President.
No....they’re backing a Cruz/Trump and a few other good men in Congress who are fighting against the GOP/DEMOCRATIC stronghold on Washington....and Fox is now fully carrying the GOP water to take them out in exchange for being the Premier Network for the GOP. Walker and Carly are the dream team of the GOP now that Jeb has flopped. Carly’s seeking the VP. under the watchful eye and tutelage of Karl Rove.

The (R)epublicrat party needs to collapse. You got a problem with that?
This site is not a (R)epublicrat site. You've been here long enough to know that.
As far as backing a big government guy, that describes every candidate and President since Reagan.
What is different now is that there may only be one more relatively free election before 13 or 35 or 100 million invading visigoths get naturalized, swamp the vote, and destroy the republic. But feel free to run through your litmus checklist. Can I get you a fiddle to go along with that?
How can anyone trust Walker after he hired Brad Dayspring? Brad Dayspring is scum; Look at what damage he did in Mississippi.
OMG. Thank you. I really thought I was going insane. People on this site calling people like Walker a RINO and backing Trump whom I don’t even think is a republican (more Dem based on his historical statements and backings). He is far from conservative. This is getting insane.
