Rush settled the issue with Cruz.
Establishment thinks the Conservatism means open borders, “Free” Trade and business as usual. That’s the problem the old labels don’t mean anything anymore.
Don’t let the smoke blind you. The GOPe and the Left (like there’s a difference) are working to expel conservatives from the party before the Convention. This latest budget legislation is the proof. Their only hope for the Rubios and Jebbies of the world is to reduce the party to only those they can manipulate. Hillary is their hope to retain their power. They want another Juan or Mittens so they can suck up the money, loose the election and screw America with impunity.
Yawn....these attempts to drive the narrative away from Trump and Cruz are getting past the point of tiresome.
You know, the whole word “conservatism” has lost a lot of its meaning over the past few years, when I’ve seen so-called self-professed “conservative” pundits, bloggers, and politicians expressing not just pro-amnesty, pro-fag marriage, and pro-dope views, but all bloomin’ three!
If the defining perimeters are now so broad to include crap like that, then to hell with it. Count me out. I don’t want to be allied with such a crowd, in any way, shape or form.
If Gingrich had had Trump’s money, Romney would have lost.
No.
If it did, Santorum wouldn’t be at the kids table
All that has ever mattered for The Stupid Party is who the media and the donor class tell us can win. It matters to about 25% of us and we’re all voting for Cruz. And if conservatism doesn’t matter, reality doesn’t matter, and we don’t deserve a free country.
Meanwhile the one being knocked as “not a Conservative” is busy staking out the most conservative potions of all of them

DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT ON BUDGET DEAL
(New York, NY) December 17, 2015 “If anyone needed more evidence of why the American people are suffering at the hands of their own government, look no further than the budget deal announced by Speaker Ryan. In order to avoid a government shutdown, a cowardly threat from an incompetent President, the elected Republicans in Congress threw in the towel and showed absolutely no budget discipline.
The American people will have to absorb higher deficits, greater debt, less economic liberty and more corporate welfare. Congress cannot seem to help itself in bending to every whim of special interests. How can they face their constituents when they continue to burden our children and grandchildren with debts they will never be able to repay? Our government is failing us, so we must do something about it. Who knows how bad things will be when the next administration comes in and has to pick up the pieces?
The only special interest not being served by our government is the American people. It is time we imposed budget discipline by holding the line on spending, getting rid of waste, fraud and abuse, and by taking on our debt. To do these things, we need a President who can lead the fight to hold Congress and the rest of government accountable. Together, we can Make America Great Again.†â€“ Donald J. Trump
Conservatism hasn’t mattered in a long time in deciding the president
Smart conservatives know it. They know that a conservative can win if he has pure conservative positions but only along with a personality strong enough to plow his campaign over or give up on the media obstacle, the Clinton machine, and Obama supporters
The pursuit of that perfect candidate is a silly venture
They know they can be lied to. Look at Paul Ryan
Dear Mona,
It matters when the candidate is conservative on matters that the VOTER CARES ABOUT, and not the standards of conservatism that the RINOs care about. That is the test.
These things are not conservative, in any definition of the term:
Funding Planned Parenthood
Funding the settlement of illegal immigrants
Adding a boatload of new visa permits
Funding the arrival of unvetted Syrian refugees
Funding the climate change policies Obama wants, THAT COULD NOT EVEN PASS A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS in 2009
And only God Almighty knows what we’ll find out about what else is in there, as the weeks unfold. I shudder to think...
I hate this current version of the GOP more than I hate any group of human beings on this planet.
And I am dead serious.
Newt who was my guy in 2011 was drawing “crowds” of 500 to a max of 1500” Trump 4,000 to 30,000. There is no comparison.
The other “current contenders” Cruz and Rubio are lucky to fill a ballroom.
The Tribe has spoken. Trump will be the GOP nominee.
The Gope will nominate whom it pleases to nominate. The primaries are a sideshow.
One of those is a conservative position.
