The establishment are like roaches that have been sprayed with Raid.
On their backs, kicking and choking.
Never mind they’ve stabbed us in the back over and over and over.
Wow. Yet another TDS sufferer.
Apparently it hasn’t yet hit our “conservative” intelligentsia yet that Trump isn’t a doctrinaire anything, just an American.
In other words, exactly what we need.
from the article:
Trump copied the immigration position that had been espoused for four years by Senator Ted Cruz,
=== === *** *** === === === ***
Stopped right there because that’s a flat out lie.
NO ONE would be talking about illegal aliens invading our country if Trump hadn’t said something. NO ONE !!!
Peter Heck? Are we supposed to give a rip?
Prepare the popcorn, pull up a chair bump.
Here a great idea!
Be a condescending, virtue signaling prick to people, and they will totally vote how you want!
These guys were happy with Trump last fall when he was ripping into Jeb and Rove.
But they thought that no one should have ever actually seriously supported him?
Maybe instead of hiding in his shadow so he didn’t have to actually engage anyone, the great “consistent conservative warrior from heaven” should have been going after him?
“But as a Christian and by consequence a political conservative, I want no part of the Donald Trump campaign.”
On my part, as a Christian and by consequence a political conservative, I am very supportive of the Donald Trump campaign.
Trumpeters love to discount all national polls which do not show their beloved winning. Yet for reasons unknown to mortals, there are NO polls on the current winner in the General which show DJT winning against either Sanders or Hillary.
It is obvious that the part of the public which responds to pollsters does no like DJT; how the Trumpeters imagine that a person so disliked could win the General is ... is there a word?

Haven’t you heard? He’s GOPe now.
You must not be in the first tier of the talking points mailing list.
People starting to wake up about Trump, the Trumpets that are still posting on FreeRepublic are deluded or paid.
There are enough facts on Trump coming out of his own mouth, you don’t have to prove anything, just listen to his actual words.
Amen. I stick to the Congressional side of the ballot. A Liberal won’t get my vote, regardless of which party they are in.
Just don’t know what I’d do to get through a day without the sagacious advice I get from the wonderful American Thinker. Gee thanks buddy, you’re a real pal - a political buffoon but a real pal nonetheless.
Get back on the Plantation, conservative base. Sure we’ve failed you again and again, worked against the Tea Party movement, collaborated with Obama and done it all with our hand out for donations or rifling your pocket through taxation and big government spending, but give us another chance.
The guy not asking for your money, opposing illegal immigration, supporting the 2nd ammendment and pointing out the corrupting influence of PAC money isn’t one of us. Get serious and come back to that GOPe Plantation.
Hard to resist that offer.
I would be happy to vote for either to be President over Hillary or Bernie. True, I have my preference, but I'm not so obstinate that I "will not vote in November, because my guy didn't win."
I don't want an Establishment candidate period. And to me, this is the biggest burden Cruz has to overcome. He's played the Washington game and voted for things before he voted against them, and vice versa, so that it's hard to tell what his true position is.
And I'm totally sick of the Establishment saying one thing and doing another, abdicating any vestige of conservatism and supporting this President.
On the Trump side, he's not what I would consider a traditional conservative, but he's definitely not Establishment. The question with him comes down to a matter of trust. You either trust what he's saying now or you don't.
Either way, and with either candidate, we're better off than we are now.
Ann Coulter supports Trump? Wow!!! What a surprise!! From her own column:
“After supporting Mitt Romney in 2008, some of you may recall, I ran off with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie midway through Obama’s first term for precisely that reason: The near-impossibility of beating an incumbent president. Christie seemed like the kind of once-in-a-lifetime star who could pull a Reagan upset against an incumbent president.
But I was wrong. Romney was the perfect candidate, and he was the president this country needed right now. It’s less disheartening that a president who wrecked American health care, quadrupled gas prices, added $6 trillion to the national debt and gave us an 8 percent unemployment rate can squeak out re-election than that America will never have Romney as our president.
Indeed, Romney is one of the best presidential candidates the Republicans have ever fielded. Blaming the candidate may be fun, but it’s delusional and won’t help us avoid making the same mistakes in the future.”
Really, Ann? Romney was one of the greatest nominees in GOP history?
Ronald Reagan would be booed by today’s “conservatives”.
Consider Iraq. After each pounding from U.S . warplanes, Iraq has dusted itself off and gone right back to work developing a nuclear arsenal. Six years of tough talk and U.S. fireworks in Baghdad have done little to slow Iraq's crash program to become a nuclear power. They've got missiles capable of flying nine hundred kilometers-more than enough to reach Tel Aviv. They've got enriched uranium. All they need is the material for nuclear fission to complete the job, and, according to the Rumsfeld report, we don't even know for sure if they've laid their hands on that yet. That's what our last aerial assault on Iraq in 1999 was about. Saddam Hussein wouldn't let UN weapons inspectors examine certain sites where that material might be stored. The result when our bombing was over? We still don't know what Iraq is up to or whether it has the material to build nuclear weapons. I'm no warmonger. But the fact is, if we decide a strike against Iraq is necessary, it is madness not to carry the mission to its conclusion. When we don't, we have the worst of all worlds: Iraq remains a threat, and now has more incentive than ever to attack us.

...The invasion of Iraq, [Trump] proposed, was based upon a "lie." Its advocates, he submitted, were engaged not in a mistake, but in a conspiracy. And, worst of all, George W. Bush was to blame for 9/11....Trump wants us to rig the game so he will always emerge as the winner. Irritated that Trump repeatedly gave money to the Democrats, including before the 2008 wave? Upset that Trump praised Nancy Pelosi as "terrific" when she picked up the gavel that would pass Obamacare? Annoyed that Trump called for an assault-weapons ban just as the right to keep and bear arms was being restored piece by piece? Angry that, just three years ago, he was slamming Mitt Romney for his harsh stance toward illegal immigration? Don't be. He "wasn't a politician" back then, and besides, "that's just what businessmen do." If, on the other hand, you are impressed that Trump isn't on record anywhere supporting the War in Iraq... well, that's because he has always had brilliant instincts and will make a top-notch commander in chief.
The Trump Tapes - Vol. 1
Guns - he supported an assault weapons ban and a longer waiting period to purchase a firearm.
Healthcare - Trump said he was "very liberal when it comes to health care" and that he believes in "universal healthcare."
Abortion - he was pro-choice and for partial birth abortion.
Democrats - he said Hillary was a fantastic senator, praised Pelosi, and said Obama is a great President.
He was a Democrat 2001 - 2009:
It’s a shame the people who call themselves “conservative” wouldn’t uphold the rule of law.
There would be no Trump had there been any enforcement.
“Because they rightly despise the Republican establishment,whose repeated capitulations to the godless left allow our country to be sucked helplessly into economic and moral oblivion...”
I’d rephrase that as “Because our country is turning from God and sinking into economic and moral oblivion, we have elected politicians who capitulate to the godless left - being, in essence, as godless themselves as we have become godless. We now have leading candidates in both parties whose lives demonstrate a total rejection of God and a life of service to the other side.”
Hope lies in revival, not elections.
