Crybabies for Cruz
I’ve noted in another thread how the Trump fans are following the dimmo playbook. He’s their guy and he can do no wrong. That’s essentially a form of idolatry. They worship him, and when anything negative is said about him, they react as if a blasphemy has been committed. That’s why they get so upset, because their “god” has been blasphemed.
Trump himself has alluded to this worship, saying that his fans would still vote for him if he murdered someone in the middle of Times Square. Based on some of the comments I’ve seen on FR, I’d say he’s correct.
They need to step back and admit his weaknesses. And brother he has LOTS of them. But so does Cruz, Rubio, etc.
Worship Someone worthy of worship. NONE of the presidential candidates are worthy of worship.

Crybabies for Cruz
Finally a pundit gets it!

Political elite glass should be flipping grateful this is a bloodless revolution!
This is pretty pathetic. What Donald Trump really is is a natural born problem solver. We are in desperate need of him in the Whitehouse.
As to why he wouldn't state his support for Israel on MSNBC's Joe Scarborough show, it may have been nothing more than timing holding him back on his support until he spoke at the famously pro-Israel Regent University. To you that is vacillation, when in reality it may have been just a matter of timing. At least he hadn't the week before thrown his support to Palestine. That clearly would have been vacillation.
It's true he has vacillated on other issues, but others have as well. While I don't give him a pass, neither do I hold it against him. He is like many other politicians who try to play both sides of the coin. At least he is no good at it, so which side he truly supports is impossible to determine.
Bottom line support your candidate and I will support mine. So instead of telling us you don't know what Donald Trump really stands for, since we already know that, tell us why you support Ted Cruz.
This is exactly why Cruz can't be trusted to be the principled conservative he claims to be.
We just have to let the campaign play out. We haven’t got to the bottom of Trump yet.
Every time TownWhore.com tries to spike Trump, I become more resolved to back him.
The writer seems to think Trump's supporters are being "duped", the word I think he used. At least that's a lot better than being called "zombies" or "poorly educated", as some critics have described Trump supporters.
Surely these critics don't intend to include my wife and I in those descriptions. We both have college degrees. As ex-Air Force officers, we are patriotic veterans. We've had successful business careers and raised a family and retired to raise Angus beef cattle. We're debt free and live comfortably. The point being, we've done something right in our lives. We're responsible people who have made our share of right decisions. But we are not dupes. We're not zombies, whatever they are. And we're not poorly-educated. Trump doesn't have us under his celebrity spell. Neither one of us ever watched his reality TV show anyway. We are not stary-eyed and oblivions about who we voted for in early mail-in balloting. We voted for Trump with our eyes and ears wide-open, knowing all of his warts and foibles and hidden skeletons.
But some people forget what our options really are. Critics complain about how bad it's going to be if Trump is elected and what they have to do to stop him. They forget to look at this election through my eyes. My choices in the primary were for a successful, outsider businessman who exudes leadership and winning. Two junior senators, who both sound good speaking and on paper but notoriously make bad presidents because they are not experienced management and executive decision makers. Their biggest negatives are that they are part of the Washington political class. One really nice, quiet ex-brain surgeon who lost this race when Paris got attacked and folks realized he didn't know squat about foreign policy. And finally a sitting governor and establishment politician, who blows his own horn, but can't scrap enough votes together in the primaries to win. It kind of makes it easy to pick Trump from this list.
And then there's the factor of who can win in November against what looks like will be Hillary on the democRAT side. Sanders will drop out or fail against the experienced Clinton machine. This country is in dire straits but we're not ready to elect a loser-most-of-his-adult-life Marxist in Bernie. Wait a minute. I take that back. We've got Barack Obama right now. I see Trump as the only one who can go up against the liberal crap Hillary and her hanger-oner husband BJ, will be slinging and still leave some marks. People think he's going to be nice against Hillary? No way. She won't know what hit her after he's done with his attacks.
The decision for us to vote for Trump was really quite easy. Who can win both the primary and general handily? Trump. I don't have confidence in electing the same old, same old political candidates, and then expecting any different result. We're tired of backing GOP losers.
We may be mistaken by what we think Trump will do as president, but we're not fooled. We have not been duped into thinking he is one thing versus another. We know exactly who he is. A winner.
That is, indeed, the issue. In fact, I think it would be reasonable to question whether he actually has "real positions" on many important issues.
So if we are being “duped” if we think Trump best represents the path to the 1st part of fixing the disaster that has become our country. Consider me gladly “duped”.
Go Trump!
When he said “the government’s gonna pay for it” you have to listen to the full unabridged context. He talks about this in every rally and every town hall and every debate. Repeal Obamacare and return to private plans. Remove the limitations of competition across state lines that cause monopolies. He always ends by saying there will be people so poor they can’t afford a private plan and he will not leave them to die on the sidewalks. In the debates and town halls he gets asked who is going to pay for it? He says the government is going to pay for it. But he’s only talking about the safety net for the very poor. Then Ted Cruz or Fox News shamelessly cuts and pastes the comments out of context to make it sound like he’s saying what he’s not saying.
Don’t let people spoon feed a cut and pasted montage of statements from six different interviews. Find an interview and watch the whole thing.
This happens every time: conservative Republicans vet their candidates according to whether they are pure enough conservatives. The problem is that there aren’t enough pure conservatives in the electorate for a candidate to win the general by appealing only to pure conservatives. Heck, apparently there aren’t even enough pure conservatives in the Republican party to nominate one if their own.
I wish 60% of all voters were true conservatives, but can’t we concede that this is not the case?
To win the presidency, a candidate must somehow appeal to independents and democrats. Reagan somehow did that while sounding like a true conservative. How he pulled that off I’ll never know. He was an extremely talented politician and Jimmy Carter was an absolute train wreck.
I don’t think conservatives are doing our candidates any favors by making them publicly swear allegiance to conservative principles. It makes them unelectable, like Ted Cruz. Thank God Trump doesn’t let himself get pushed around this way.
I’m pretty sure he’ll govern more conservatively than Hilary Clinton, and he’s the only one who stands a chance against her in this Democrat leaning nation.
