I agree with your comments. I have the same thoughts. I also realize that we’ve got some pretty good people against us on this.
They want the more solid Cruz, and I’m not going to trash them for it.
I will admit some are Walker fans and fans of others. Most are decent folks just trying to do what is best for the Republic.
It is difficult to most of them as anything other than our allies most of the time.
I know this isn’t easy on them. I only hope Trump proves to be a decent sort after backing him.

I’m sure some are acting on conscience and who believe there is some question as to the final result. Others are posting because it’s a paycheck.
Unfortunately there is a fundamental truth that is not discussed much at FR: we’re not going to get a candidate who is anywhere near as conservative as the average FReeper, and our opinions don’t matter worth a hill of beans to the puppetmasters in any case. Even if the elections process were free and fair, which it isn’t, FReepers are two standard deviations out from the mean when it comes to political views. The average or close to it is who gets elected. Worse, the candidates acceptable enough to end up on the general election ballot are invariably corrupt as hell to boot.
The choice for us as individuals is to play the game or don’t. As my tagline indicates I have zero intention of playing when it comes time to put a mark on the ballot. Ultimately, I expect the election will come down to jebito or some other clone versus piaps or some other leftist clone. At that point, the game is over for me. Moderate kleptocrst versus kleptocrat is not a choice.
But in the meantime I can enjoy the drama of an ouside candidate who is very much stirring the pot for now. And of course I can enjoy laughing at those who have their knickers perpetually in a wad.
