What The Hell Is An Angry Conservative Supposed To Do?

no, it take four hours and three men to screw his hair back on his head.

Of the candidates that have a snowball's chance of winning the nomination, which one do you support?

[jimpick]

Um let me put this gently. Carly is a mussy supporter, the same ones that want my kids heads removed. She should go to Germany and run for Merkels job because I would never vote for her. Well that should read never never ever .

[P-Marlowe]

The real choices at this point are Trump, Cruz, and Rubio with Santorum if he somehow survives the primary process which I seriously doubt this time.

Scratch Rubio from that list. I will not vote for him after he did a 180 on Amnesty. He cannot be trusted.

[HarleyLady27]

Elect Carly and you’ve elected another shillary...

you wan to burn something down, well a vote for her will certainly do it....

You want a country to be put back together, get your head out of your butt, see the day light, smell the air, and vote for a MAN that can and will do something...your right...TRUMP!!!

[Dr. Sivana]

He may know Jindal, but he doesn’t know Fiorina.

[xzins]

If I have a choice between Rubio, Clinton/Biden/Sanders, I will vote for Rubio. I point out his misstep on amnesty, but I think his conservative past will come to bear if he’s surrounded by conservatives. I’d like to see him announce his VP and cabinet ahead of time.

burn it all down

On this we agree.

[Stentor]

You want to burn it all down but Conan didn’t present well at the last castle banquet. He used his fingers? Horrors.

[txrefugee]

Kurt should just sit this one out and let some illegal alien vote in his place.

[PoloSec]

He says Cruz is the best conservative but he can’t get elected because he talks like a lawyer and lacks charisma.

What nonsense he may be a lawyer but he certainly is not hard to understand, I don’t see how he lacks charisma every time they announce his name the crowd is immediately on their feet and pretty much stay on their feet until he has long left the podium, even in his Media interviews you can see the interviewers have a tough time diminishing him, in fact if you look close some of them seem to be at least somewhat persuaded.

This guy thinks Carly is MAYBE the best, the guy is an idiot, his assessment of the Rino’s is a tad light but satisfactory, so how can he not see Carly is right there with the most dedicated Rino’s, they don’t call her FioRino for nothing.

[Kaslin]

The rats will let them vote anyway, whether Col Schlichter sits the election out or not.

[DaxtonBrown]

Schlicter is usually pretty solid, but to end up with iCarly is nt to be thinking. Watching a few Trump interviews lately, I don’t think his policies would work. I give him an A+ for effort and aggression though, so I would pull the lever for him.

I think Cruz is who it is going to boil down to. Despite his lack of charisma, he is the only one who is coherent.

[StAntKnee]

I kinda liked the piece. Agree with the comments that Trump is really setting the table with issues that people have to talk about once the topics are out in the open. I think, too, that Trump’s example will rub off on a true conservative who might start talking seriously in terms that both appeal to the base and will show promise to the center. When that happens, his duty done, Trump will fade. Wait, wait, don’t start your blast-off until I’m finished. I like what the Donald says about the issues of immigration and leadership. But that’s only half his schtick. The other half is the whining that sounds EXACTLY like . . . drum roll . . . Barack Obama. I’m tired of that trick.

To conclude: Trump is setting the table for, like it or not, Carly. Maybe a Carly-Rubio ticket, Cruz AG, Palin Energy, Carson Surgeon General. Carly has an appeal that can overcome anything you point out, accurate or inaccurate, about her past. She’s even more electable that BO was, and he had nothing. She’s more charismatic. She’s smarter, more presidential, less scary to the voter who’s not . . . well, not of the Freeper species. Lotta folks want to win this election, and most of those do not see fire and brimstone actually burning down the country as a winning strategy. She’s not right on every issue with me. But she has a kind of wow-factor Barack never had.

If Trump wins the nomination, by all means come back and tell me I was wrong. I assure you, unless Trump stops his incessant whining about how unfairly he’s being treated, he’s as gone as BO. If Carly wins, come back and tell me . . . oh, well, I never would expect you to admit I was right.

I saw Bobby Jindal last Saturday and he was terrific. I think he would sell if he had more face time. He’s got a great story and a track record. He moved ahead of Cruz in our book. So now it is Jindal, then Cruz, then ??

So happy to read your commentary. Jindal has been our #1 pick from the get-go this run. His love for the babies [and his brilliance for dealing with same] is without question:

"In my view there is an easy, universal barometer we can use to evaluate all cultures: how do they treat their most vulnerable members...those whom Jesus so aptly referred to as 'the least of these'? I would go so far as to say that a society that does not...defend the defenseless, [protect] all human life, is really not a civilized society after all. As for all my pro-choice friends out there, we can agree to disagree...and keep on arguing (until I win)." -Bobby Jindal, from Leadership and Crisis

"We will play the [CMP] videos on a screen outside the LA Gov. Mansion so those protesting my decision to defund Planned Parenthood know why." -Bobby Jindal

The GOPe recruited Kid Marco right off the bat, a willing Amnesty proponent.

And for that reason, he loses my vote.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Hey Kurt its Trump or bust. Deal with it.

[Kaslin]

That’s as far as I got.

Or this

Translation: WGAF. I did not ping you

[Kaslin]

Carly Fiorina are out of the question for me

[Night Hides Not]

Kurt, it’s called “going Galt.” Embrace it.

[Kaslin]

Of course he is, but I think we are intelligent enough to make our own choices and don’t need anyone to tell us who to vote for. At least I don’t.
