Trump is at the top of the polls, and that may not change. Nevertheless, he will not receive my support. I am rather tired of a screeching establishment requiring that we support whomever is the current frontunner, and telling us we need to "get in line", like robots. That kind of talk is groupthink, much like Obamamania. It has no place in conservatism.
Trump is the kind of candidate who appeals to base emotions and the thirst for popular appeal. We should never treat candidates as celebrities. But increasingly, we do. I once thought that those on our side of the aisle were better than liberals in that we don't vote based on mindless, superficial reasons that got the similarly resume-challenged disaster known as Barack Obama into office. But unsurprisingly, we're just as capable of the same failure to treat the election process seriously.

Please keep it up.
add to that list Kasich. He is left of the RINO’s if that is even possible. He wants immediate amnesty to all illegals. In other words expand democrats by 11 to 30 million.

Right back atcha.
Cruz I can get behind. Carson and Carly I could support. The other candidates, it will be hard to support. But I probably will because ....Hilary. Or Bernie, or hell, any Dhimmicrat.
