Reading this, it does not seem to be the musings of someone who EVER supported Trump in my opinion. More like the old bait and switch diversion trying to give some semblance of credibility because he claims he ‘once’ supported Trump.
Instead of linking to all the ‘bad’ things about Trump from Politico or wherever it would have been nice for him to link to some (at least one) of his prior “pro-Trump” articles, if there were every any.
This numbskull tipped his hand when he referred to himself as a fan.
“If we nominate Trump, we’ll have our third straight lose/lose election where most conservatives will have a candidate who doesn’t truly represent their views as the GOP nominee.”
Did you forget the win-win election that we were all so excited about? I suppose you’ve chosen to blank it out. I don’t blame you.
Typical Cruz-bot ploy. Every so often, one calls in to Rush: “You know, I use to like Trump, but...”
I am so ready for an uncompromising Traditional Red White and Blue America First candidate, flaws and all.
“Since when do conservative engage in this type of blind loyalty towards ANY politician?”
He’s talking about Cruz supporters here. It’s my way or the highway.
I suppose the author expects us to take that charge seriously. After all Trump is wealthy and Rockefeller was wealthy. But that's where the similarity ends. The author even admits as much. "Trump has failed many many times!" bleats the author. Did Rockefeller fail? No, he used political pull to build Standard Oil and keep it a monopoly. Other than an insignificant eminent domain battle (which he lost), Trump has not been a political / establishment businessman.
But... but.... he said he would, he really said, he really really said he said... he promised....
How many anti-Trump spams can you post in a day?
“Since when do conservative engage in this type of blind loyalty towards ANY politician?”
I support Cruz, but I put my “blind loyalty” to no man, especially a politician.
whether that politician is new to the game or an old hack, makes no difference. No blind loyalty.
“...If we nominate Trump, we’ll have our third straight lose/lose election where most conservatives will have a candidate who doesn’t truly represent their views as the GOP nominee. Of course, if Trump is our nominee, I will vote for him and I will try to do what I can to help him win, but it would be easier to ski uphill than to get a wildly unpopular Rockefeller Republican like Trump into the White House.”

Pretty well captures my thoughts on this whole situation.
Require people to eat a ham sandwich to enter the country. That's my solution for airport security as well. We can develop a reasonable workaround for Jewish people.
There are two critical considerations that make me a Trump supporter. First, this country will not survive another Democrat, especially the ilk that are running as Democrats. Beating the Democrats this time is paramount. Trump is a proven winner. He is tied nationally with Hillary and he hasn’t even focused on her yet. Second, Trump is his own man. I like the things he has identified as needing attention and I am confident he has the independence to address these issues, unencumbered by special interests. The Chamber of Commerce, as an example, will be neutered.
I notice that most Trump supporters responding here seem to conclude that the writer is a Cruzer and therefore the piece can be utterly dismissed. Gives them the perfect opportunity to not consider some of the valid observations about Trump that are made.
“...The problem with that is that successful though Donald Trump may be, he fails all the time. He’s had four bankruptcies. Then there’s Trump steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump the Game, Trump Magazine, Trump Mortgage, Trump Airlines, Trump University, Trump Casinos, the New Jersey Generals and happily, he also lost a lawsuit and was unable to take a widow’s home via eminent domain so he could build a limo parking lot. Trump has been a successful businessman, but an awful lot of investors who put money into his ill-advised projects because they just assumed he’d find a way to win have gotten burned doing business deals with him. Again, barring a miracle, that’s what would happen to all of his supporters if he becomes the GOP nominee in 2016. Many of them don’t see it for the same reason Ron Paul’s fans couldn’t see it in 2012. Sure, Paul had a diehard following that voted for him in Internet polls and showed up at his events, but he alienated too many people to ever win a general election while he was building up his fanbase. Trump has done the same thing, except a little bigger and better....”
Dang! He left out DT’s potential filling the federal courts with lefties, also the SC.
That’s the fastest way to tyranny.
I find it offensive when a superior conservative candidate and his supporters are attacked for holding to conservative values. If Trump is nominated, his supporters will get exactly the candidate they deserve.
