I have only given to Trump and Cruz, and directly to their websites.

Without Trump, we wouldn't even have a chance at a President Cruz.

I believe they are a tag team. I'm for them both. Either is fine with me. Eight years of Trump with Cruz as VP followed by eight years of Cruz and somebody as his VP works for me.

This has become the sickening new meme being propagated by the GOPe. That “meme” takes several forms. One is “Trump/Cruz (take your pick) can’t win”. A second is “I won’t vote for Trump/Cruz (take your pick)”. Another is “maybe it would be best if Hillary wins rather than Trump/Cruz”.

That last form of the meme is the most disturbing to me. An example of it was in an S. E. Cupp item in Townhall on December 10th where she called Trump supporters “goons” and hoped that Trump would run as an independent. Cupp wrote “I’m increasingly thinking this is the best thing for the party, even if it means a certain victory for Democrats”.

Ronald Reagan was known as The Great Communicator. He drew massive crowds that drowned the GOP machine.

Is there even one person that served in the Bush administration who is a patriotic American?

Donald Rumsfeld.

The Geriatric Old Plotters cannot, -CANNOT- get their heads around the fact that they are not merely resented, not merely rejected, but are actually passionately detested by those they betrayed for the past three decades. If there were a delete button for them, it would have been pushed LONG ago.

Republican elites like Ridge need to stop talking about Trump. Hate hearing this.

Conservatives are not divided. Conservatives have been infiltrated by notcons. The masks are off now is all. The notcons were NEVER on our side.

The Uni-party vs. the Conservative/Freedom Party!

With every denunciation of people who stand up against the tyranny, we find out who are truly our "friends" and who belongs in the "trash heap" of history!

Too bad his appeal is limited to a narrow group of conservatives.
Or narrow minded group of conservatives.

My prayer is that you will look at our candidates carefully, vote, even in the primaries, as though your children’s and your grandchildren’s future depend upon it, because they do
..................................................

Look 10-20 years down the road with your eyes wide open to today’s reality and you will see that Islam is the number 1,2, and 3 problems down the road for our children. For all his warts, Trump recognized it AND MORE IMPORTANT, immediately has spoken up (knowing how castigated he would be for saying it) showing that he will not stand for the threat that Islam represents
Cruz would make the perfect VP but Trump is a doer and who this country needs right now.

Amen to that and look how he was treated by his own.

Thought Cheney was part of that small group of patriots but maybe not so much.

Not sure if it is narrow-mindedness. I get that some conservatives don't like Trump cause he's an unproven political commodity and has had to side with both Democrats and Republicans to push his businesses forward.

They see Cruz as a true conservative and principled. Nothing wrong with that.

My concern with Cruz is he'd be painted as an extremist in the general election and the mushy-brained independents will side with the gravy train of handouts and vote Hillary.

I'd like to see Trump a little more polished as he does have a crassness about him.
