If I was Trump I’d let Ted win Iowa. Ted has put all his eggs in one basket. But I get the feeling Trump doesn’t like to lose. Period. If Trump does win Iowa it’s a devastating blow to Cruz and the rest of the field. Turn out the lights, the party is over...

I’ve noted in many post that Trumpites openly declare that they acknowledge that Trump isn’t conservative and that they don’t care. How to explain that...? Cult followers wrapped in a cult of personality/celebrity, Democrat reverse operation chaos, trolling, a people intellectually and morally adrift? You tell me.

All I can is that sometimes I’m still surprised - and often dismayed - by what I’ve seen here at FR.

“”You believe free speech only belongs to you?””

Yes. What’s your point?

Erick Erickson. Enough said.

Yes the guy who said Trump was going to speak at his event and left a huge crowd who came to hear Trump angry when they found out he cancelled Trump’s appearance and didn’t tell them.

I call him DICK Dickmeson. The name says it all

... Erick Erickson. Enough said.
You should read what someone who does not love DT has to say sometimes. Then you would know about DT’s fake deport plan that fast tracks illegals right back in. And that Teddy has always supported a southern wall.. But his may not be as beautiful as DT’s... I guess that matters a lot.

Bad news, Rush let EE sub a week or so ago. I heard his weasly little voice and turned it off immediately as I had promised Rush I would do it he let EE back on.

EE has lost any small amount of credibility he ever had. He’s a pathetic little GOPE me too. Worthless to even read his BS.

I believe I have heard Cruz or his supporters say that SC is make or break for them. I agree with you that it’s Iowa.

If you think ‘free speech’ means someone can say whatever they want,
wherever and whenever they want and people are obligated to listen to it,
then you really don’t understand what ‘free speech’ is all about.

Your post #1 sums up the Cruz clan perfectly, thank you.
The poor choice that I was referring to in that post - in this case - is Trump.

Rafael supported a FENCE, not a wall. Still won’t deport anyone, but merely “enforce the law”. We’ve heard that crap for 30 years from POLITICIANS.

Trump isn’t conservative and that they don’t care
************************************

I have had to vote for many non-conservatives for President, all of them since Reagan.

Trump is the first one who doesn’t think we need to surrender the country to fraudulently documented foreigners.

When it suited the natural born Canadian, he gave soccer balls and teddy bears to illegals.

The irony of your own words obviously escapes you, thank you for proving it.

The reason people engage in self-interaction is they feel no one around wants to hear what they have in mind, and as a result, prefer talking to themselves all the time instead.

This much is true. Having graduated 6th grade WITH HONORS, I have pretty much seen and read enough to know when I’m being cheated. I can separate the good from the bad and I have a sticker on my truck that pretty much sez just that.

People who take millions, owe millions. I learned that in kindergarten. You fancy educated types couldn’t win in a series game of marbles if your life depended on it. No funzies where I come from.

I have dirt on my hands I can’t get off.

With all due respect, I think what I hear you say is that we all have “FreeRepublic Values”.

I also will suggest that considering from where we generally get our info it is not advisable to jump on every new slant or accusation or alleged activity and just drop all previous due diligence until the next news cycle; just flip, flopping away!

Also I would suggest that many of our thoughtful members may not have a personal agenda that they are compelled to force on our more gentle readers.

And if I may, many posts are quick statements of the moment made out of pure frustration with the pain of realizing that we are helpless and do not have a real champion or truthful representative. I actually have one, his name is Jim Robinson.

But to be kind, I submit that not all posting are representative of the true feelings of the poster at the time of the posting but are influenced by many situations brought on by “living”. Shit happens.

Finally, like Trump says, no drugs, no booze and no smoking of any kind; then you post.

Not hard to say not going to happen. 2 weeks left when Trump takes Iowa, and oh yeah,

here’s Eric Erickson who suffers from TDS.

Were it not for Trump, Cruz would still be for legalization of illegals, and for birthright citizenship.
