I don't think there is a cut and dried selection here on Free Republic. I think JR is just saying he's content for this site to let Trump rip up Bush, the bushies, and HIllary. I'm OK with that, too.
My favorite is Cruz as well. Always has been. I'll continue donating to him. He's made a few mis-steps.
My 2nd choice is to injure the GOP-E in any way that I can. They are in the process of supporting planned parenthood so they don't have to argue budget, so says Mitch McConnell.
I ask myself, this GOP is OKAY with selling baby parts.
How in the world can Donald Trump be worse than that?
Conservatives especially have been taken for granted in the GOP since 1989 and were removed from power within the party by 1997 or so. Right now the party and pretty much the nation is under siege. No one allows one they don't know into a watch area without a challenge as to credentials to be there. Even then you have to watch the enemies from within who are there acting as friend doing the enemies work. That's the only way I can explain it.
Trump seems to support continued funding for Planned Parenthood. Shouldn’t you include him in your condemnation?
It's asking a lot to expect a candidate to overcome the RATs and the media. To expect them also to successfully fight the RINOcracy daily seems unlikely.
RE “...My 2nd choice is to injure the GOP-E in any way that I can. ...”
At the VERY least, Trump has shown exactly who the enemy is in our own party... as well as those we already know. And that’s a good thing by any standard.
Consider this:
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

Is he flawed? Of course. Every one is. Even Reagan had his flaws. But he was the right man for the moment. And has long since become an American Man for the Ages.
Is Trump the right man for the moment? I think so; sometimes, the man for the moment is exactly what’s needed.
I’ll trust it up to God and His wisdom. It’ll play out as it plays out, no matter what I want or don’t want.
cva, I appreciate your concerns, even though I disagree.
