Those people were never conservatives to begin with. The entire system is ridden with political termites.

Because a Democrat Progressive serial liar running as a “Republican” is far superior to a GOPe candidate....

The progressives in the GOP will vote for the butcher of Benghazi. Birds of a feather and all that. We need to make up those votes elsewhere.

Well, well, well. So NOW the true colors will be known of folks like McShamey, Levin, Beck, Rush, Graham, and every neocon out there.

I am sick to death of the self righteous prigs who stuffed HW down our throats followed by W then McShamey and finally Mittens.

Suck it up you losers.

Most of the folks weren’t happy with Reagan either

He (and the others) need to grow up and start thinking what Hillary would do to our country.

Their Umbilicals are attached to the Democrat Party.

IN contrast to the much morally-superior Donald who's wallet is directly connected to the Democrat Party...

The Amnesty express may bolt. Certainly the open borders crowd here at Free Republic has been opusing out.

“I’m sure it will help bring many middle of the road democrats into the Trump camp if they see leading Reps against him.”

Already has.

I'll never back a Romney or McCain again - - ever. The hoi polloi we're played for fools twice by the GOPe - it ain't gonna happen again.

"No genuine Conservative would throw their name behind Hillary - but that doesn’t mean they have to vote for the orange Hillary in a suit either..."

That's what I thought, too. But my Trumpster friends have told me that when he attacked Cruz personally and slimed his family with despicable lies he was really "uniting the party"!

See how it works?

Who cares if they don’t .

Donald is going to do well with the African American voters who won’t vote for Hillary ( and there are plenty of them). The rush belt gems who have lost jobs will vote for Trump. Plenty of Trump voters from the primaries will vote for Trump.

Biggest thing Donald has going for him? He is a lot more likable than Hill.

Plus Donald’s message (can’t guarantee what he will do) is 1) He loves America; 2) You ought to love America; 3)We will make America better than it has been

That is powerful enough.

After Beck’s solemn rant this morning it is clear that like Levin he will vote third party. A pox on them

If these people had taken a forceful position at the start, Trump would never have gotten this far. He’s not a Republican - he’s a big government crony capitalist, and on top of that, he’s nuts. He shares none of the party’s objectives or ideals, either in the social or economic area, and they should have challenged him at the very beginning. The fact that Sanders voters are the group most likely to cross over to vote for Trump if he’s the candidate should tell you all you need to know.

But the GOP has let its brand be weakened through so many compromises and so much timidity that the party leaders really didn’t even have the guts to oppose the nut-job, media driven campaign of somebody entirely opposed to what are in theory the official GOP positions.

Another loser supporting Hillary. This is good news!

Perhaps Trump's candidacy will cause the Graham/McCain wing of the Republican party to finally make its home where it belongs: the Democratic Party. In return, we'll gladly take all of the "rust belt" and southern Democrats who are tired of seeing their country overrun by third world immigrants and tired of seeing their jobs outsourced to third world countries.

These folks are too far “evolved” for their own good, and certainly every one else’s good!

They can’t realize someone else has better methods or ideas for solutions then them? Just like the elite college professors - too “evolved”.

Since you show little understanding of Trump why not take the time to read his two policy books and his position papers. You have made an outrageous statement here that is just obnoxious.

To suggest that a ‘genuine’ conservative will not vote for Trump is just irrational

I propose a 3rd party for the M. Al. Contents
The Felicia party

If they can’t choose between a corrupt incompetent globalist backed FELON or a successful but politically incorrect and politically unschooled guy who speaks common sense , puts America first without apology, and gives back to his opponents worse than they give to him- then

Bye, Felicia
