Im not voting conservative vs liberal this election as much as im voting nationalist vs NWO internationalist.
Issue number one is the border. If that isn’t solved FIRST, there will be no conservatism to argue about because we will be an American EU with Canada and Mexico.

There is a reason they are bringing in tens of millions of Mexicans. Its so when they want to have national votes on the American EU, half of mexico will already be here.

Give it up. We’re not stupid and you’re not smarter.

We want Trump!

Would you be as critical if Palin endorsed Cruz instead?

Why would we be?

We would have been cheering her fidelity to her principles.

Cruz embodies Tea-Party and conservative values. That type of endorsement would have been right in line with Sarah's history and stated principles.

By endorsing Trump, she has left her principles behind, stabbed the Tea-Party in the back, all because SHE thinks somebody is electable.

Terrible choice on Palin's part.

“The problem is many voters in the Republican Party think he is.”

Writer still doesn’t get it after all this time.

Constitutional Conservatism is my choice.

Anything else is progressive scumbaggery.

It is also clear that the Republican Party is not conservative either.

But at at least The Donald is a different kind of “not a conservative”, than the Republican Party.

When you are going through Hell, keep going. The only way out is through.

What we are seeing with Trump is a nationalistic populist movement sucking in a lot of good patriotic people. People better figure Trump out pretty quick or we will be in more trouble than we are already in. Trump is no true conservative, but for a few slip-ups that betray him, he could get an Oscar for his performance. This is no more than 1930s and 2008 populism déjà vu in a completely different cloak. Trump is using the modus operandi described in Eric Hoffer's 1951 book, "The True Believer" - Thoughts On The Nature Of Mass Movements. Trump has found a void and has created a cult following. He is taking legitimate issues and concerns and using them to generate a fanatical mass movement of "True Believers" -- intoxicated Trumpaholics, and Tump is their cult leader. There is no way to talk to many of them; their minds have been snatched. Many will not realize the fantasy until it all falls down. History repeats. It is déjà vu all over again.

Check out the Constitution Party.

The Republicans are once again telling us that the solution to the Democrats driving us off a cliff at 80 MPH is to do it on the Republican bus at 70 MPH. And the notion that Trump is on a different trajectory is silly, he’s very much a part of the Republicrat mindset. Political salvationism is always absurd, but with Trump it has become self-parody.

In reality it’s now, more than ever that we have to ask ourselves who is thew most electable person that will effectuate the change we need. I think Trump fits that mold right now, though I would like to see a more conservative person hold that title.

I support Cruz and will vote for him in the primary.

If he wins the nomination I will vote for him.

If Trump is the nominee, I will vote for him.

See how simple it is?

This is my position as well. While I have all sorts of doubts and fears and suspicions about Trump (and I still consider Cruz to be about as perfect a candidate as we can get at this stage of the game), Trump and Cruz supporters have got to stop the animosity. If one side gets mad and has a hissy fit (staying home in November), then we're doomed. Don't do this!

Support your man in the primary and the winner in November!

Again, I feel like Trump is he first in what I hope is a long line and hopefully each one better than the previous.

The key to recovery of America as the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave is really not elected officials, but the American People re-taking ownership of THEIR Constitution and THEIR freedoms.

No way! The "Constitution Party" (formerly the "Taxpayers' Party") is a front for the Rushdoonyan "reconstructionists" in the John Birch Society. They are moreover anti-Jewish and anti-Israel as all get-out.

They don't worship the One True G-d, they worship an American national "gxd" (as to many Trump apologists, in my opinion).

The vote this year will be on one issue.

Illegal immigration

...and with it, people tired of politicians ignoring that the immigrants are “illegal.”

That leaves one candidate who is not pandering on the subject.

Trump.

I agree, the American people have to take charge, but our government has been doing a great many things for a long long while that are not in line with what it was mandated to do (from the lowly municipality all the way up to and including the fed gov).

I’ve never seen anything anti-Semitic from the Constitution Party (and I understand it’s founder to be of Jewish descent himself). I’m not at any rate. I’ve also never noted a link between them and JBS, if they even exist any more.

Let’s say there was an element in the Constitution Party that did harbor such views - would it invalidate their platform? The danger here is that conservatives keep breaking into factions and marginalizing themselves with purity tests that are not necessary. It’s quite necessary to recognize who is on the right side of the fence (which is why I reject most Republicans as unacceptable “republicats” for example), but beyond that I’d say we need to agree to disagree on non-foundational issues.

Wrong!

Not for conservatives.

That leaves one candidate who is not pandering on the subject.

Trump


Wrong again!

Cruz has never pandered on Illegal Immigration and has been solid on Illegal Immigration since he started running for the Senate. And don't bother with the usual lies.

Your rights and liberties hang in the balance. Your children's future is at stake.

So, you believe that Trump will attack our rights and liberties as the current occupant of the White House has done?

My message is mainly constitutional state sovereignty and nullification of unconstitutional federal acts which by definition are acts of tyranny. That is independent state action by the people of that state and can and should happen right away.

The other effort which I support is the CoSG proposed Convention of States, but it is much more lengthy and requires multi-state cooperation and exactitude in every step.

I focus mainly on state nullification because first it strengthens constitutional state sovereignty concepts and can be done immediately.
