Conservative Activists Ignore Leader (Eagle Forum), Back Ted Cruz
Charisma News ^ | January 19, 2016 | Bob Eschliman

Phyllis Schlafly founded the Eagle Forum in 1972 to enable conservative and pro-family men and women to participate in the process of self-government and public policy making.

The goal: that America will continue to be a land of individual liberty, respect for family integrity, public and private virtue and private enterprise. The past 40-plus years have arguably been a testament to the Eagle Forum's success.

Recently, Schlafly—while not using the words "I endorse"—effectively endorsed Donald Trump for president just before Christmas. She has doubled down on her sentiments more recently, making the argument to Breitbart News the businessman is the "only hope to defeat the kingmakers."

A bunch of her grass-roots activists, however, disagree. Monday evening, a group of 20 Eagle Forum state leaders and activists endorsed Ted Cruz for president, naming him the "leader America needs and the best of the candidates competing for the Republican nomination."

You don’t trust Cruz but you support Trump in spite of his liberal past?

Understood. You checked your brain out, just like Hillary’s and Obama’s voters do.
Best salesman and sleaziest character to run in my life time.

Maybe some of them listened to Eric trump when he stated on a few morning shows that his father really is for amnesty, just a different route than Rubio. Rubio will let them stay, but Trump will send them out, letting them come back in and go to the head of the line.

Phyllis Schafly said she supported Trump because he was going to tough on illegal immigration and sending them home. She apparently missed him saying the opposite.

The average voter has never heard of Eagle Forum or John Wayne’s daughter.

Do tell - do tell. We all want to see the magical apparition that you do, so we too can ignore his whole life up to that magical point of his transformation and support him knowing what you see.

The operative word here is PAST. WAY past.

What has Ted Cruz done for the past 2 years? Not what has he SAID. What has he DONE? Nada. He’s p*ssed his colleagues off so bad, they won’t support him.

Reminds me of the righteous Christian Brits who hated Winston Churchill because he smoked cigars, drank whiskey, and used occasional profanity. We need an Alpha male more than ever.

You said about Trump: “Best salesman and sleaziest character to run in my life time.”

I am the oldest member of FR - 82. (I think that is true - if there is anyone older, let me know.) :o)

So, I think I am older than you are, and Trump is the worst Republican (or whatever he really is) candidate for president in MY lifetime. :o)

P.S. Do you think Trump is going to make many friends in Congress with his rhetoric? No, he is going to p*ss them off probably worse than Cruz has done.

On one hand you bash Cruz for pissing off Republicans and on the other you praise Trump for the same thing. Which is it? Or are you just going to be a hypocrite?

You're posting disinformation. Those are your words and not Trumps.

Trump wants to to "expedite" them back "a legal way".

That's a legalization amnesty.

And's he also used some weasel words about a citizenship amnesty.
