It's the million dollar question as we look to the possibility that Donald Trump is somehow the nominee: Do we as Republicans stand with him? Do we circle the wagons? Do we overlook everything in his past and say "You know what? Better than a Democrat."
The answer, for me at least, is decidedly "No."

Spot on
Not really a conservative ... Cruz fanatic.
So unless you can vote for the Goldman Sachs puppet you are staying home. Hillary is a puppet for GS you can vote for her.
Color me not surprised.
Pray America wakes
Trump has worked his entire life ... he's a workaholic and has reared his family to be the same ...
Be beholding to nobody, stand on your own merits, earn your own money
And you accuse Trump of being a democrat?
What the hell's wrong with you ?
Keep carving GOPe on that tombstone, partner.
Trump has 2.7% of the delegates right now. 67 of 2472.
Did you know that the GOP has superdelegates as well? The RNC gets three delegates from each state. That’s 150 delegates (6% of the delegates) that will probably go to Rubio.
Ask this question after Super Tuesday.
>>He is young, deploy the Trump Bomb now, it is an ugly weapon of mass destruction that will result in some collateral damage, but it is required.
Well said. Trump is radical chemotherapy for a nation that is riddled with various cancers. He can’t fix America, but he is essential for burning out the rot and disease so something healthy can grow.
They are not really conservatives; they are RINOs.
Well we have so-called “conservatives” controlling the House and Senate right now and guess what? Obamacare is still in place after all these years and Planned Parenthood got funded through the end of Obama’s presidency.
Even if I were a single-issue voter on either one of those issues, sticking with the “I promise this time” sitting Senators still in the running would strike me as just setting myself up for future disappointment.
That said, I’m left disliking the career politicians still in the running but I do always come back to the conclusion that any of them would be better than Hillary or Sanders.
Red State: the mouthpiece of the Uniparty.
If Trump wins it will be an act of revenge by the common man to the Republican party for turning their backs on the “little people” who supported them in exchange of their social club (GOPe) that pandered only to big money, special interests and wall street.
Furthermore, it will be full repayment for the lies and deceit that the GOPe performed after each election in which they PROMISED to change and represent the little man...and then flipped us the finger once elected or reelected.
I used to be a Republican and after the past two national elections finally woke up and not classify myself as an independent for I am too embarrassed for people to know that I still lean to the Republican side...desperately clinging to the hope that someone would come along and kick the parasitic Republicans out...and that would be Trump’s victory in the first attempt to save our country and heritage even though it may be damaged beyond repair.
If Trump is the nominee, he gets my vote but it seems every week he says something that makes me less enthusiastic about it. Are these statements to make him unassailable in the general so the Left can’t pin him as a “typical right-winger” or are they genuine sentiments of his true worldview?
He started out way right and seems to be moving further and further left. Could this be a strategy, now that the nomination is all but won, to further broaden his appeal to moderates and Reagan Democrats or is this the true Trump and all the conservatism of last year was just babble to get him the nomination?
I voted for Romney. I couldn’t make myself vote for McCain. For now, I’d vote with Trump but that support gets shakier and shakier.
This is something that amazes me. People don’t get the candidate they want, so they stay home and let the country go to someone who will further destroy it.
I can hardly believe it when I read, “If so-and-so isn’t the nominee, then I’m staying home.” Sounds like kids who don’t get their way. Shouldn’t everyone put the country first, and keep working to better it?
If FR is still allowed to exist 4 years after another Democrat President.

When you contemplate the Republican Party of 2016 just think of the endless trade deficits, closing factories, rich wall street bankers, spoiled silicon valley asking for more and more indentured servants, international stock holders, an endless stream of central Americans pouring in, K St. bandits playing to play politicians and kowtowing to political correctness.
This is what "movement conservatism" means now. So when you put it in perspective the answer is easy.
Go Trump, go!
not = now
Why vote the lesser of two evils when you can have full, unadulterated evil right away by voting democrat?
The take away from this thread is that the Cruzaders do not think their boy has a chance....
