Bull. Cruz and several of the also rans were discussing these issues long before Donald Trump decided to pretend to be a conservative.
Donald Trump began his campaign by poisoning the well against every other candidate and then when they fought back he complained and called them liars.
The fact of the matter is that it is Donald Trump who is the biggest liar of all. Not only has he ruined the chances of a Republican victory in November but he has pretty much destroyed this forum. It literally pains me to open up this forum and read some of the vitriol directed at anyone who doesn't worship at the altar of the Trump tower.
“It literally pains me to open up this forum and read some of the vitriol directed at anyone who doesn’t worship at the altar of the Trump tower.”
I hope you don’t think I am attacking you personally. I disagree with your opinion but don’t feel any vitriol towards you.
If Cruz wins the nomination I will support him.
He is far better then Hillary.
But even Cruz, earlier in the campaign, credited Trump with framing the narrative and allowing a discussion of important issues.
I wish Trump and Cruz could have worked together. They seemed to be in agreement until Iowa when Cruz began working closely with Glenn Beck. The moving of Bush people to the Cruz campaign and the alliance with Lindsey Graham and others made Cruz far more critical of Trump.
Again, I realize Trump is far from perfect. I understand your reservations.
The important thing is to defeat Hillary.
I totally agree with you, it’s criminal what has become of this forum— the nastiness and the invective hurled personally at fellow freepers.
BTTT

I’m going to bump that too. I don’t think he’s totally ruined November’s chances (because I think Hillary, while still dangerous, is exceedingly weak at this time) but everything else you wrote I agree with.
