Cruz I support. Trump I do not support. I do not think he is a conservative. I think he is shallow, lacking substance and lacking basic deeply-held social and constitutional conservative principles. I do not trust him.
I sincerely appreciate you bringing that up.
Here's my motivation: I strongly believe Trump's candidacy is harmful to the conservative cause. I think he would be a disaster as a president - and he would lose to Hillary before that eventuality anyway.
I think, as you likely do, that this is an incredibly important turning point election. And we need to, we must, get on about the serious business of choosing the best conservative to go against Hillary and lead our nation.
Again, I believe Trump is a harmful distraction and delay to that most important task for conservatives.
If I thought he was conservative, would be an ok president, could beat Hillary even.. I would act differently; but, I don't.
I don't think I'll have any impact on die-hard Trump supporters - those someone on here described as "Me no care; him build wall" Trump backers. Maybe others will take a hard objective look though.
But hey, I'm just an anonymous voice on the interwebs..
Thanks for your reply.
Donald Trump being in the race certainly has turned the spotlight on the NRO’s elitist sentiments.
Six position papers. Read ‘em.
Perhaps Trump should read them first. :-)
You’ve have done a good job of summarizing my view as well.
thank you..

Actually, it wasn’t “always.” The law requiring hospitals to accept anyone in need of ER services (EMTALA) is only 30 years old. Before that the hospitals usually did refuse anyone who didn’t have insurance.
He has also released his specific ideas on taxes and other topics, which other candidates have now somewhat copied.
You don't "believe" that Trump has any CONSERVATIVE stances, because you don't want to.
He's FOR the 2nd. Amendment for EVERYONE.
He's VERY pro-military and for the vets and he means it.
He LOVES America; especially the way it was and how it should be.
He's all for our laws and the Constitution.
He wants to lower taxes.
He wants to do away with ObamaCare and no...he doesn't want single payer.
He wants to stop over payments/fraud/and waste in the government.
But to some posters here....oh hell, he's a "liberal".
That is a textbook hypocrisy: That which he decries, he did.
Someone with integrity does not play that game. There are many successful businessmen who did not and will not.
So, again, that is a lack of integrity.
If Trump is a harmful distraction, it is to the RINO Establishment. He’s done an unbelievable job of clearing out the trash and the weak sisters and exposing the true frauds in the party who were running for President, but were nothing but toadies for the corrupt uniparty cabal. One reason CW has gone ape$hit crazy is that her hero is the biggest casualty (so far), the former Conservative hero Scott Walker (a man I suggested 3 years ago drafting for the Presidency).
Absent Trump, we’d be seeing a media-orchestrated contest between El Jebbe and Walker over which would earn the right to lose to the Butcheress of Benghazi. Instead, one is out and Trump has helped expose and neutralize “Tippy Toes.” This man has so far been a godsend to the Conservative cause in the Presidential race. Harmful ? Not on your life.
Add in he can not only motivate the base to turn out to vote for him proudly (that hasn’t happened for a GOP nominee since Reagan in 1984), but he can also get non-traditional voters into the game to do so, and with a poll that showed he was getting 1/4th of the Black vote, which has not occurred since Nixon in 1960, that means it is virtually impossible for him to lose in a general election.
He’s our “once in a generation” game changing nominee against a truly evil and criminal bitch who should’ve gone to prison decades ago for her activities and is in it to win it. We should consider ourselves blessed and fortunate that Trump stood up to run, because at his age, he could’ve chosen to retire or stayed in the private sector, but is volunteering his senior years to putting our country back on the right course. As long as he adheres to the Conservative agenda he stresses now, gets the right people into positions, he has the ability to be one of our greatest Presidents (and if he only accomplishes two things, of getting our budget into balance and securing our borders/expelling illegals — that will vault him past Reagan).
If I thought Trump were a fraud and Socialist ringer like McQueeg and Willard, both of whom were put in place to assure the most corrupt regime in the history of the republic was to be installed and remain for 8 years, I’d fight his candidacy to the death. Thank heavens I won’t have to.
Go, Trump, GO!! When they’re throwing up so much flak, you know you’re squarely over the target!!
You’ve got the media, the dems and the GOPe RINOs and amnesty pimps coughing up hairballs.
You couldn’t be more wrong, if you tried harder to be.
+1
He wrote them.
You should read them; he doesn’t have to !
LOL....you’re just so full of it!
I don't understand the point of trying to deny Trump the nomination. He was the only one who was ahead of the curve with total anger and disgust about ISIS, and a focus on that and stopping the invasion of the US. Re-establishing borders is part of what needs to happen in order to thwart global terror.
If the 'pub establishment figures out some dirty trick to deny Trump the nomination, we're looking at a hillary presidency, for sure. I don't get it that the establishment is willing to accept that.
