"We prayed and hoped for a real Conservative to counter the leftward pull of Obama. We wanted someone to pull the country to the right so we could possibly be, at least, center America, where we typically like to land in national politics."

That was Scott Walker. The state and local socialists with government-derived incomes libeled him and continue to tell real conservatives to shut up and stay away from the polls. The pretenders will be happy with either Trump or Hillary.

[familyop]

Even goofy Sanders would be safer than Hillary.

Once again, we are subjected to a round of "oh, poor widdle ol' us" from someone who states that Trump is "vulgar" and that proves right there that you're just one more Trump-hater, unable to see beyond your damn nose, and you and those like you think that because your candidate (whoever it is or was) turned out to be the proverbial pile of *FAIL*, that it is somehow our responsibility to treat you people with kid gloves and murmur soft little nothings into your ears, *poor babies*.

You write about Trump "insulting" people and his supporters "laughing along" but not a word about the widespread, unrestricted and full throated insults, abuse and hatred ALL directed at ONE man, from the left, from the right, from the 'RATS, GOPe, media, bloggers springing up like toadstools in the meadow, screaming invective, and that includes our own home grown contingent right here on FR and they saw nothing at all wrong about laughing away at THAT.

Can you say "double standard"? I'm sure you can, it's staring you right in the face. Give us a damn break.

Would you be urging and clamoring for such tender compassion and consideration if it was Trump who had been mathematically eliminated but was doggedly clinging to some false and illusive hope that he could somehow beat Cruz at the convention on a second ballot or some craziness like that?

HELL no!! You would be hammering Trump supporters at every turn, telling them they had picked a "loser" and slinging around every kind of personal insult that you so piously deplore. Don't try to deny that, you know that would be the case with nearly every Trump-hater around here, their roaring would rise to an even greater crescendo.

Here's the bottom line: one of my favorite political writers was Finley Peter Dunne, who said "politics ain't beanbag" and he was absolutely right, it is NOT a sport that anyone should get into in ANY capacity if they're not prepared to experience or observe utter devastation and destruction of their candidate, their cause or themselves if they become an integral part of it, because that's the nature of the game, fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, some causes win, some causes die.

We are all individually responsible for the choices we make, and if we choose wisely, we are validated by those choices. If our choices fail to deliver what we hope for, there is no one to blame for that except for ourselves. It doesn't matter. Quite bluntly, nobody cares. Choose better next time.

Enough of this obsessive-compulsive need for group hugs, community weeping and wailing because a political campaign is going in a direction some people are unhappy with.

As Trump himself has said (and would say):

DEAL WITH IT.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

In the end it will be up to Trump and his supporters to unify the party.

WE are unified! How 'bout you comin' 'round?

[trebb]

You forgot to title your "Opus" properly - it should read, "Blatherings From an Idiot"......

I suppose that if you had a broken ankle, you would consider hopping up and down on it as recommended "cure". Nothing like prescribing napalm of one's own home as a way of keeping the wildfire from torching it....

Goes to show that those who "think" with their emotions will find ways to justify any old stupid thoughts and then believe that they are profound and deep enough that they need to be shared with those who "just don't understand".

I see you.....

I swear, the more I read of his supporters' mewlings and maunderings, the more convinced I become, daily, that the entire Cruzlim movement is one long and unhappy group quest for what the kiddies nowadays refer to as a "safe space."

[zzeeman]

Can’t argue with any of that!

[glennaro]

You "choose Hillary"?

What has caused you -- a self-described "conservative" -- to so undermine the Constitution and our Republic?

You need to re-gain control of your emotions, my FRiend.

Later Traitor!

We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

The country has turned from God and he is going to vote for the devil. What a loser. I’m sorry about my fellow commiefornians.

[US_MilitaryRules]

Loser.

[GingisK]

Oh. I’m thinking that was not me. ;-D

[Grampa Dave]

Now, you are free to join your fellow Trump Haters in California, the LaRaza thugs and whore$ for Clinton.

Adios!

Let me guess? You make money off illegals...

Follow the money with the purists who hate Trump!

[ConservativeWarrior]

Get over yourself. No one cares, and certainly not enough to read this monstrosity.

Another FReeper I have never seen before. : )

[You make money off illegals]

There’s many in this country that do. Fer sure.

[SaveFerris]

http://www.freerepublic.com/~pacificus/

I’ve been telling you, this one is incorrect. This person is still a FReeper. If he was gone, it was only temporary. Need to remove it.

The opening sentence of the post was "Because all those conservatives we have elected to office recently can point to an accomplishment in reducing our debt, welfare, or addiction to government?". The post was a statement about the efficiency of a government project, not the motives. Standard government projects come in over schedule and over budget. Trump took one and returned it under schedule and under budget. It was also an opening for someone to respond to if they had an example of another government project that was delivered underschedule or underbudget.
