And you have to ask yourself why....
Unless you support Trump and then nothing matters at all,
absolutely nothing.
Did you ever think you’d hear a candidate who defends McConnell being supported by half of free republic? It is truly amazing.
I am frightened by your statement.
It’s ... I mean, do you really mean that?
Unless I support Trump .. nothing matters at all.
A lot matters to me and that is exactly why I can never support Trump.
Oh nonsense, this is SO tiresome. This forum is a conservative forum, whose membership consists primarily of Republicans with a generous dash of Libertarians, and some independents and Constitution party members.
We should be discussing the relative merits versus weaknesses of our candidates, and never ever ever insulting one another by suggesting people are stupid, not conservative (whatever that means anymore, I prefer classic liberal myself,) Trump cult followers, etc.
Of course, we are going to have disagreements and see things differently, and we should respect those differences of opinion. Furthermore, we should bend over backward to understand the reasons why various individuals make the decision to support/vote for one candidate versus another.
Of course many things matter in the decision to support or not support Cruz versus Trump versus ???, and very seldom, at least on this forum, is the decision made to support Trump just because he is Trump. That is silly. There are lots of reasons why we who support Trump, and those reasons are not because he is perfect, he most certainly is not, or because he is the most ideologically pure, he is not.
But he is a good candidate, he has some pretty good positions, and he can and will run a campaign that will defeat Hillary.
If the cowardly corrupt self-serving GOPe turns tail, and begins to support Trump, that is to be expected. They are beginning to realize he not only has the support of the base but lots of disaffected Americans who are not Republicans as well. They are realizing that if they continue their attempts to destroy Trump, these will only result in their own destruction. So, they are beginning to jump on the bandwagon, saying and doing what they can to appease Mr. Trump, who may very well destroy their political careers anyway. It is doubtful indeed that Senator Cruz ever could do so, no matter what the circumstances!
But I am afraid you are quite young with arrogance of youth, and will not be reasoned with. And you will continue in your certainty that you are right, everyone else is blindly stupidly wrong — until that day comes your own conceited know-it-all young tell you that you do not know a thing, and that point you will realize that your elders may know a thing or two after all.
So be at peace with the nomination of Mr. Trump should that happen, had he not entered the race, for an absolute certainty, we would have Jeb “Pontius Pilate” Bush shoved down our throats. Ted Cruz would have occupied the same position as Newt Gingrich last time around, all money his money gone, the last man standing against the well-funded Romney; exactly the scenario that had been planned for this time as well.
