Cruz is a straight up Conservative. How do you think straight up Conservatives fare against these primary voters?

Democrats
Independents
Moderate Republicans (who think of Tea Party members as terrorists)
Conservatives (who are certain Ted Can't win and will vote for Trump instead)

Your guy is toast in the primaries. If you think I'm just making up a pipe dream here to support my candidate, think of this.

In 32 years we haven't nominated a Conservative person to represent our party. Why is that? Does history matter? Can we learn from history? Should we?

You are trashing the one guy that is promoting our beliefs to tens of thousands of people at nearly every campaign stop. Why?

He pulls in people across demographic lines. Cruz does not.

If you listen to Trump campaign speeches, you'll hear Trump promote the same things Reagan did and more. REAGAN!

Why will you be happy to see a guy promoting Reagan's agenda be defeated?

Okay, so lets recap.

Cruz can't get the nomination due to the heavily Leftist participants in our primaries. Trump can, but you and others are doing your best to stop him.

Tell me how that is any different than exactly what the GOPe wants.


After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.


Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.

Are you posting that with a straight face?

All you’re doing is rehashing the Romney/moderate/liberal argument...we need the sacred mushy middle and the Democrats (a fallacy), so let’s run one.

Romney won the independent vote. How’d that work out?

If we want to win, we need to turn out the base. It’s simple truth. When we run moderates or liberals, we lose. Another simple fact. Demonstrable by history, but some of us just never absorb it. We keep running to the “electable” (read: sure loser in the general) guy.

I will never support a liberal. I will only support conservative candidates...and by that I mean those with a proven conservative record and history. Not those with a singularly liberal history who suddenly claim conservatism on the campaign trail, while constantly promoting liberalism (support for ethanol subsidies is the latest, and the Iowa Democrats just love it).

Meanwhile, you openly dismiss conservatism as being a useless, losing strategy. On a conservative forum.

Recap that.
