I hate to be labeled by the "conservative media". I consider myself a conservative but maybe not "their" view of a conservative. I believe we need the best person to be in charge of getting our America back angain. We need a Pappy Boyington, a George Patton. We need someone who is adept at kicking ass and knocking heads. Screw the labels.

I'm all in for Trump because I think he can actually win the general election.

I do not fool myself into believing he is a hard conservative...he is NOT.

I do think he is our last chance to save the country before the democrats manage to change the demographics in such a way that we end up some kind of Marxist/fascist/atheist nation.

I just hope Ted Cruz is along for the wild ride as trump's VP ... Trump needs his sharp mind and knowledge to help guide him on his quest to rescue this nation.

Cruz: GOP establishment is ditching Rubio for Trump

"Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is doubling up his attacks, targeting rivals Donald Trump and Marco Rubio in one fell swoop.

Cruz on Wednesday said the GOP establishment is lining up behind Trump because they think Rubio is faltering.

"Right now the establishment is abandoning Marco Rubio," Cruz said, according to the Washington Post.

"They're making the assessment that Marco can't win this race, and the Washington establishment is rushing over to support Donald Trump. We're seeing that every day. And Mr. Trump is welcoming the support of the Washington establishment."

The comments came on the same day 1996 GOP presidential nominee Bob Dole questioned Cruz's ability to work with Congress if he were to be president, while heaping praise on Trump.

"I question his allegiance to the party," Dole said of Cruz. "I don't know how often you've heard him say the word 'Republican' - not very often.

"If he's the nominee, we're going to have wholesale losses in Congress and state offices and governors and legislatures," he added.

Dole added that Trump, on the other hand, "can probably work with Congress, because he's, you know, he's got the right personality and he's kind of a deal-maker."

Cruz used these comments to launch an attack against Trump, questioning his commitment to conservatism.

"Indeed, Mr. Trump said that they should support him, because - he said - 'Ted won't go along to get along. He won't make deals with the Democrats.' Well, I don't think there are a lot of Republicans who think the problem with Republican leadership is that they won't make deals with the Democrats," he said.

"We are seeing more and more the establishment calling out their support for Donald Trump," Cruz added.

"Look, Donald Trump was very candid. On the Sunday shows recently, seven months ago, he said he was the establishment. Well, that hasn't changed. There's a reason the establishment is attracted to Donald Trump."
