She has been a leading Conservative for decades. She’d run circles around me even at her age.
Don’t demean the women. She’s been a very well respected Conservative for a long long time.
Looks like schafley has not convinced all Eagle Forum activists to support the pro-abort clinton donor!

see my post #23
Grace, for me it’s best explained like this.
If you don’t want TPP, don’t for TPA the support legislation.
Don’t ever do one single thing that brings defeat one step closer.
That’s my take on it for what it’s worth.
Do you make a good argument. It has merit. Is it as safe as avoiding the problem up front? I’m not sold on it.
I know but she is wrong this time
Your link is taking folks back to the top of the thread.
I believe you made an inadvertent error.
re: Post #23
No, when all is said and done, she’s right.
There are many things to consider, and once folks committed to Ted they lost the ability to reason.
I know you folks think that can only apply to Trump because of his colorful past, but it’s not true.
There are leadership qualities, economics and other issues, as well as the ability to drive things home against Congress and people who disagree with him across the nation.
Phyllis has considered the broad strokes and made a wise choice.
This isn’t as simply as you think, and she is not a shallow woman.
I appreciate the respectful response.
Ted’s catching fire like the Hindenburg.
LOL
I’ve noticed that a lot of the Trump “endorsements” leave an avenue of retreat.
But Phyllis herself endorsed Donald Trump.
I posted an article on this forum about a month ago where Shaffly directly and explicitly endorsed Trump for POTUS.
If you want to dig back, back, back into my postings you will find said article.
I have no energy for it.
This sleight-of-hand is like 'Stolen Valor'....something folks don't like.
Phyllis, 91, is a friend of mine from the old anti-ERA door-to-door bell-ringing, street-trudging days in Illinois. I saw her again when she attended as an honored guest and strong FR supporter at the Freeper-sponsored Manager's Banquet in DC a number of years ago.
She is one of conservatism's revered founding mothers and doesn't deserve Cruz's crude and opportunistic ploy to steal her name.

I too think he was too cute by half here.
There are some people you don’t treat this way, and Schlafley is one of them.
If Reagan were alive today, would we try to go around him to try to discredit his endorsement?
Ted should be ashamed of himself for doing this.

Phyllis Schlafly: Trump Is ‘Last Hope For America
Long-time conservative leader and publicist Phyllis Schlafly believes that the only
person who can save America from the precipice of disaster is Donald J. Trump.
In a weekend interview with WND, Schlafly said of the GOP front-runner, “He does look like he’s
the last hope [for America]. We don’t hear anybody saying what he’s saying. In fact, most of the
people who ought to be lining up with him are attacking him.”
Phyllis Schlafly: Trump Is ‘Last Hope For America’
end snip
Ted can’t let stand the fact that she endorsed Trump. He has to make it sound like he was the one endorsed.
?
I was OK with Trump until he viciously attacked Cruz. Hey for all any of us know Phyllis Schlafley could be having second thoughts as well.
Would not say much for her if she approved of Trumps attacks on Cruz.
Hey Mark Levin agrees with me, Rush perhaps to a much lesser degree
Phyllis did not endorse Cruz.
It’s also disrespectful to not take someone at their word, and speculate that they may be changing their mind.
What is it with you and not being able to accept Schlafley’s decision?
Does she have to approve of Trump’s actions toward Cruz to back him? No.
As for Mark, Trump came out with a great policy paper in support of the Second Amendment. He is a CCW permit holder and uses it. He has encouraged other CCW holders to use theirs. He has touch on the subject of creating a national CCW.
Despite this, Levin has a that chart out there that Isara has been posting for three months that dings Trump on the Second Amendment.
When Mark Can’t even be truthful about serious issues, his opinion means very little to me.
