Yeah, all of this is keeping a lid on the "nobody can watch Hillary get on her airplane" story.
Wonder what the he11 that's all about?

If hes OK by Jeff, Ill be more OK voting for DT if I have to in Nov. More so if Sessions is on the ticket with him...or slotted for a cabinet post.

I still want a Trump/ Cruz ticket if when this nastiness is over it is at all possible!!!
Well, I am not betting on that ticket, but stranger things have happened. I just hope that Cruz does not go out and endorse GOPe Rubio. The GOPe plot using Rubio to peel off votes for Mittens has been exposed—and I don’t want Mitt for President.
I, too, would like the nastiness to end here so we can go on about the business of saving the Country :)

Ha! We all know the Cruz-Trolls will now claim Senator Jeff Sessions isnt a real conservative! Nope. Sessions is a "real" conservative. As are David Limbaugh, Rush Limbaugh, Thomas Sowell, and other conservatives that Trump supporters have turned on here on FR.
It's unfortunate that Sessions, Christie, Palin, et al, have drunk the Trump Kool Aid.
I'm betting that they all, and many Trump supporters here on FR will be very, conspicuously silent a year or two from now when Trump's true, leftist colors begin to shine through.

Cruz may not treat everyone that way but many of his most strident supporter treat anyone who doesnt worship Cruz with the disrespect being shown to Sessions
Same with Trump supporters, that's what makes them the most strident. I am a Cruz supporter, and congratulate Trump on his wins and his better endorsements.
Out of hundreds or thousands of Cruz supporters who use FR, a handful are rude or disrespecfful. The same can be said about Trump supporters. I try not to let the actions of a few posters color my judgment of the candidate. I am a Cruz supporter, but will vote for any candidate that comes out of an honestly run convention. As long as a majority of delegates are Trump or Cruz, the GOP-E will have a hard time pulling a fast one.
I do however, reject any suggestions that Cruz should get out. If Trump is inevitable, he doesn't need Cruz' support anyway. Taunting us is NOT persuasive.

ALSO,
READ THIS:
But What About the Eight-State Rule ?
GOP rules say that a candidate needs to win a majority in at least eight states in order to be nominated on the floor of the convention.It was originally aimed at stifling Ron Paul supporters at the 2012 convention.
But party officials say this threshold could be lowered in the days before the convention to either allow (or block) certain candidates from getting nominated on the convention floor.For example, if Candidate 1 won eight states, Candidate 2 won six states and Candidate 3 won four states,
then Candidate 1 may try to keep the threshold at eight states to block other candidates from being nominated,
while Candidate 2 and Candidate 3 would each try to lower the bar to their own level, while blocking candidates beneath them.

This is so spot on and so sad.
I will fight on for conservatism.
I am mystified why trump supporters have to put so much hate on people who don’t have trump as their first choice.

f Cruz gets out, Lee will endorse Rubio. He already campaigned for Rubio in South Carolina.
Unfortunately, the entire Utah congressional delegation is on Rubios campaign committee.
Wow that really surprises me. I thought Lee was more anti-GOPe—more like Sessions.
So do you think that Lee is part of the GOPe plan to bring in Mittens at the convention thru Rubio peeling off votes from Trump. I mean Lee is from Utah right?

Suffice it say, that with Sessions and Palin endorsing Trump, they have gotten to know Trump personally and trust him to do the right thing ...Trump is genuine

Take it easy on SandRat. We may not agree on all things, but he is a loyal FReeper and a good Christian.
Hopefully, on this wonderful forum, we can agree to disagree.
I hope all opinions are welcomed here.

He'll have to show me, because I won't take him at his word. Not after considering all the available evidence.
If it were up to me I wouldn't take the chance on him.

If Lee goes for Trump the people around Cruz and Beck better hide all the sharp objects.

Donnie cannot control congress and they will not bow to him like they did Obamba.They might with pressure from the people who vote Trump into office...Perhaps Trump could inspire a change in leadership in Congress to someone who is more favorable to him...
