A furious backlash is building against the full-on attack by some conservative leaders led by the National Review on leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
A woman in southern California who supports Trump posted a video overnight that has captured the mood of many Trump supporters fed up with being lectured and condescended to about what it means to be “conservative.â€
Kambree Nelson, a businesswoman dedicated to supporting veterans and helping the homeless, recorded the 10:48 stream of consciousness rant after watching the Kelly File on Fox News feature guests from the National Review hit team against Trump trash her candidate–and by extension his supporters. The Trump-bashing panel consisted of Dana Loesch, Brent Bozell and Katie Pavlich.
Nelson titled the video “I am LIVID at the GOPâ€. Speaking about the video on her Twitter account, Nelson called herself “one ANGRY American.â€
Nelson says in the beginning of the video:
“…I am one of the noisy majority and I am one of the people that is voting for Donald Trump. And guess what GOP, and guess what Tea Party, I am a conservative.
“And what you guys said up there tonight was completely offensive to me. I never knew that there was a handbook that we had to abide by to be considered conservative to vote in this next election. Do I have to come to a tea party to be able to be considered considerate–and to be conservative.
“It was astonishing to me tonight. Why are we having these elections if the election has to be based upon what you guys say? Who is voting, you or the People voting?…â€
Nelson is set to be a host on the upcoming Veterans TV Network in June.
To use a cliche, if you’re not livid, you’re not paying attention.
I am wishing Senator Cruz well. Unfortunately, if he can’t take the heat on this and other issues currently then he will have no chance in the general.
Its not obvious to me as it seems to others that Trump will do great against a Dem in a general election, let alone a ‘sweep the nation’.
I don't believe in that type of magic.
Maybe he would do well, maybe not.
He is not Reagan at all. And its not 1984.
But if he wins the nomination and starts contradicting all the things he said to win the primary cited here, to beat the Dem(his trademark), things could get ugly
They were afraid they might break him. Trump, on the other hand, can take care of himself

Imagine being married to that witch?? You'd have to say... shut up and go fix dinner.

I am interested in your comment from years ago. It seems very informed.

Trump needs no rehearsals, time to think while cameras roll, nor props to show how he really feels!
GO TRUMP!
Hi, You brought back some great memories in your question. Sure you notice whom my sweetheart and I were supporting back then, even if you might not know why.
I was also involved in helping to set up that event, but James and I spent time in the background doing what we needed to do. That was then, and things are much different today.
One thing you may not know about me. I will vote for WHOMEVER the Republican nominee happens to be. May the best man win!! :)
“One thing you may not know about me. I will vote for WHOMEVER the Republican nominee happens to be. May the best man win!! :)”
Me too.
I’m not sure who James is, actually. I liked hearing your memories, though. It was an exciting time.
Also, I pinged you on another post because I shared your comments from five years ago because I think they were relevant for that thread.
Best to you! Have a wonderful Saturday.
You Trump people are so all over the map, it's like talking to a schizophrenic.
The NR folks were cautiously optimistic that Obama might live up to his words on debt and spending, but if Trump and NR were both wrong about Obama, that isn't a mark in Trump's favor.
Losing to Hillary by 100+ electoral votes with a big-government blowhard is historic for sure, but it certainly isn't golden.
We know Trump doesn't, in fact he didn't even know it was a magazine, he thought it was a newspaper.
He also thought WFB liked him, which was also not true.
No, I shave my head, and am against big-government strongmen winning the Republican nomination.
OK.
Is that you Mr. Rove?
Like Karl, you are deaf to what is happening amongst conservative voters.
NR and the gope play the part of Lucy, expecting us to do our part as Charlie Brown. I refuse to play.
The gope is made up of some of the dumbest political minds ever gathered
The GOP deserves to die QUICKLY!!!
Fine, kill the GOP. I think it's time.
But why would you support a big-government lefty as a candidate? Building a conservative third party will take time. Why would you waste precious years on a guy with no constitutional or conservative literacy, and has said glowing things about Hillary and Obama in recent years?
It sounds as nonsensical as one of Trump's speeches.
