Look, we conservative Trump supporters, KNOW Trump is not a full blown conservative. But we believe he is absolutely the best candidate for our side for this time. What you are doing is making good the enemy of perfect. Right now let us settle for attainable good rather than unobtainable perfect. Ted Cruz, under no circumstances, can win this at this time.
Get over this, hatred of Trump please. Be glad he is here and that we now have a chance to start to turn things around, where before we had none!
Do you really and truly think that Cruz and not Jeb Bush or Rubio, or maybe even Lindsey Graham, would be the nominee if Trump is taken down? Or is this what you want, because you know Cruz can be easily defeated, and Jeb Bush wins the nomination.
The time for ideological purity is AFTER we save our country. Right now, we need to stop the invasion on our southern border that will ultimately lead to the loss of our sovereignty, and we need to rid our party of the GOP elites, Trump is able to do both, and for right now, that is enough. Without Trump, the Washington Cartel remains entrenched, and our country is lost!
Is there ANY hope you can ever understand that? Or, again, are you a paid operative, representing those who are terrified of Mr. Trump, and just trying to poison the well?
I do agree though, he should exercise more discretion, and be very very gentle when criticizing his natural allies such as Ted Cruz but I guess this kind of discretion is not in his nature. And to be fair, Senator Cruz stating that Mr. Trump does not have the judgement to be president, was a perfectly terrible thing for him to say.
Very well said, thank you.
I don't hate Trump one bit. I just don't think he's the most viable conservative candidate and think, in the end, he's just a more effective Romney (meaning he's a northeastern centrist who has modified his viewpoints in an attempt to win the nomination)(and I would respectfully note that the the "let us settle for the attainable good" argument is precisely the one the GOPe used to give us Romney and McCain previoiusly).
That being said, if he wins the nomination, I will support him.
I only ask that he and his supporters do the same with Cruz.
You are obviously engaging in the politics of expediency and inordinate fear. If we all follow your logic, no genuine conservative would ever be allowed to mount a challenge to some celebrity wannabe politician that is nothing more than an opportunist, ever again!!!
Take a deep breath and remember that the most popular thing is seldom the most desirable thing in the final analysis. Also, take a gander at my tagline.
