He can't be trusted. Several women, at least, have found this to be true.

Many creditors as well.

I'm a Cruz supporter but will certainly vote for Trump if he is the nominee.

As I heard on Rush (I think) the other day, When you are in crisis you need a leader, not a manager.

Maybe Trump wouldn't be a Churchill but he is a lot closer to that than any blankety-blank Bush.

There is a Breibart article about Walker’s superpac you may find interesting. Among the Pac’s other non-conservative Establishment hires is Brad Dayspring. He is the guy whose slimy, sleazeball, nauseating tactics in MI pushed the senile RINO Cochran out ahead of TEA party candidate Chris McDaniel. People say the Pac, not Walker, hired this stomach-turning liar’s liar. To which I say, has Walker ever denounced Dayspring’s tactics, or the worse-than-Democrat gutter filth he pulled on McDaniel?

Of course the answer is no.

‘WALKER-FOR-PRESIDENT EFFORT HIRES ANOTHER CONTROVERSIAL ANTI-CONSERVATIVE IN BRAD DAYSPRING’

Beware the changlings, the chameleon nature of the corrupt.

> “They are just beginning to see that wrath they carefully cultivated.”

And you will see with 100% certainty how they will change colors to blend right in with yours.

> “The GOP-E will soon comes to grips with reality—Trump represents their best chance to stay in power and in the perks of office— ...”

Yes, and when they do they will claim they were always for Trump and were his biggest supporters.

The coming turn of the GOPe is 100% predictable. The element of human nature at play here has been echoed since the beginning. Literary works often point to the horror of the two-faced liar who escapes to deceive again and again.

And the corrupt always or nearly always (a few exceptions; Ceaucescu etc.) come out ahead under the new banner. In Pasternak’s Nobel Award winning ‘Zhivago’, Komarovsky played both sides and always came out on top. In the Academy Award winning ‘Kolya’, the KGB agents who brutally beat an ordinary man named Louka to a bloody pulp were to be seen days later amidst the crowds of the Velvet Revolution waving and smiling at Louka saying how they were always anti-communist but merely doing their jobs.

And in America it is nothing new. The used car sales approach performed by scoundrels to get elected has always existed.

The challenge before us is to continue to find successful means to background check candidates, to test them repeatedly under duress in a process to ferret out the strength of their inner characters. Today we have the internet and it’s been less than 20 years in its development as a means of cross communicating and raising each other’s awareness. And it’s become a battleground. So far conservatives are strengthened by it but for how long?

That may be fine at the national level, but state and local levels are too entrenched in the establishment. And that is the core of the party operations. Why do you think we get the likes of a Bonehead speaker.

I’m still waiting for the true conservatives to disassociate from the GOPe and align with a new party. Only THEN will we see the death of the GOPe.

Would it not be sweeter to kick the sorry butts of the GOPe into the street and move into their sumptuous offices?

Of course it would...

I avoid Google like the plague. However, I did read a about Marre. I can see that she has liberal views and that Walker hired her directly. Nevertheless she pales beside Dayspring. The latter is everything wrong with the GOPe distilled down into one indescribably vicious, hateful and dishonest person. Though all those descriptions fall far short of the vileness that characterizes Dayspring’s approach to defeating conservatives and keeping the most corrupt elements of the GOPe in power.

The only question worth asking is, why would Dayspring want Walker to win?

Didn’t know about Dayspring. Frankly, I think it is a syndrome of being too locally oriented in views. Not a bad thing per se —for local concerns. But on a larger national scale, it shows inexperience in my view.

Let me guess, you’re a fan of that Tea Party champion Rand Paul eh?

Rand Paul couldn’t possibly be a corrupt little weasel from KY could he?

Paul Blocks Fraud Investigation

No, one must never doubt or suspect elected leaders else one finds themselves in a “terrible refuge”.

Well the Communists were successful in taking the Democrat Party. Of course all it took was spreading money around, and my guess is they would have been successful in the Republican Party too. Though when they started their takeover of the Democratic Party, the Republican Party was not nearly as corrupt as they are now. We just have to be patient and keep applying pressure. We can't expect it to happen in one cycle or perhaps even 10 cycles. But if we keep persevering we'll gain momentum, and success will follow. Creating a successful 3rd party is not an easy task, especially in this day & age. That has been attempted for quite some time now, with no success whatsoever, except at the local level.

Donald Trump gives me cause for great concern, not for what he says, but for what he has said and supported in the past which is in direct opposition to what he now says. That being said I applaud Donald for his contributions thus far. I still like Ted Cruz better, but Trump can keep attacking the GOPe, media and others as far as I am concerned. The big bonus though is the GOPe is getting the message loud and clear, that the base wants nothing to do with the establishment, and they are running scared. The Ted Cruz's and Dr. Ben Carson are riding higher than they probably would if Trump hadn't thrown his hat into the ring. At least that is my opinion.

You really don’t have a clue about who I support, but I’ll tell you. It is Ted Cruz. Completely and unapologetically. I tolerate Trump because he is a means to an end - my hope is that it will be the end of establishment Republican Leadership and their candidates, principally one Jeb Bush.

There is nothing about Rand Paul I have ever liked, nor will I expect. Regardless, the point with him is moot, along with about a dozen others on the slate I expect.

The point in my comment was to note that there has to be an element of hope and faith in this battle. For me, I have to believe there is a reason why Trump is called to do what he’s doing now. I don’t expect that it has to result in him getting elected.

I agree, it is a good article. The only hope the GOP(e) has is to start faking it (acting like they believe in conservative principles) and perhaps actually standing up to Obama. (Even if they fake it, it is still a win for America.)
That is the only way to take the air away from Trump. The GOP(e) must decide would it be better to have a Republican leading the polls in the Republican primaries, i.e. Cruz, or Trump (who they complain is ruining the Republican brand (when in actual fact the GOP(e) is ruining the Republican brand)).

I’m not that broadly informed either, really. But something about the Dayspring-Cochran-GOPe criminal enterprise just burned a hole right through me. I’m in a rush, but here is the short version.u

Dayspring convinced black MS Democrats that if they didn’t turn out en masse and *illega inlly* vote for Cochran against McDaniel in the Republican runoff election, the latter would win and One, reinstitute Jim Crow, and Two, cut off ALL their government benefits.
To make it happen, the GOPe MS machine handed out cash like Halloween candy. They even recruited black pastors to help scare the black Dem voter block witless.

I’ve never seen anything like it. Never. No Dem ever pulled corruption on this order. And again, Dayspring was the mastermind. The hiring of Dayspring by Walker’s superpac was a big red flag. The GOPe knows something about this campaign that we don’t.

You’ve obviously listened and watched only what the media has led on about Trump. You don’t do your homework rather you snipe on about “abject pessimism and complete cynicism” when you don’t even know what the context is.

Here’s the real Trump:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/3330070/posts?page=86#79

When one does their full homework on a candidate beginning with the above link, then they can confidently chide others about “terrible refuges”.

I was a supporter of Ted Cruz long before you and still donate to him. Check it out.

I am now a supporter of TRUZ.

You are full of more suppositions than a pack of Preparation H suppositories.

You have no idea how long I’ve supported Cruz or advocated for him. I’ve never advocated for anyone but him, actually. As for Trump, I’ve said many times here what my expectations of him are and how I view him. You can “check that out.”

You can keep your links.

Yes fantasywriter, what you say is 100% correct. It was Mitch McConnell arranging the PAC money to Mississippi to take out McDaniel. Rob Portman joined him as did about 17 other Senators.

I posted the full list of Senate members that McConnell directed last summer to steer PACs to keep Cochran in office. Freepers agreed that it was evidence beyond doubt that the GOP was beyond hope in its corruption under McConnell. It was prima facie evidence of the existence of a ‘Uniparty’.

And there’s the matter of Mark Mayfield. Do you remember that one?
