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.

How come none of you diehard Cruz supporters are even mentioning his rally today with Glenn Beck? Trump Rally discussion threads are YUGE!
You have all day to go to redstate and post their anti-Trump garbage, but no time to tout your candidates rally with Glenn Beck...why?

I’ve got an idea. Why don’t you go over to Redstate.com and post Free Republic threads. See how long you last there. Well...Bye.
Should these become my only two options, I’ll likely skip the presidential vote and focus on the down ballot.

It’s your vote.
I couldn’t vote for McCain on eligibility and immigration idiocy grounds.
I held my nose for W. and Romney although I did not believe their “no amnesty” dissembling.
We have an opportunity to stop The Cheap Labor Express.
We won’t just lose an election if we lose THIS election.
Splash two!
LOL ...well he did ask for it ..
Looks like the big guy is weeding out a few today
That Jim Thompson is a good shot.
Ah yes, "mindless, superficial reasons" like Donald Trump's staunchly conservative immigration platform, his staunchly conservative tax platform, his commitment to fighting ISIS aggressively and keeping Islamic extremists out of the country, etc.
Yep. Donald Trump is just a load of mindless superficiality. There's absolutely no reason that he's enjoying any support from an angry electorate...
I’m with you.
Further, I have felt for a while now that maybe we deserve it. Trump is probably a continuation of our comeuppance.
The baby murders, the crass degeneration of our society, allowing God to be pushed out of our institutions. In fact, Trump’s behavior is emblematic of the crassness of our society.
These things all come together to produce some karma that we have coming and are receiving even now.
It probably does not make a dimes worth of difference whether it’s Hillary or Trump.
“If Trump and Hillary Are Our Final Options, We Deserve Some Pain”
You mean we haven’t suffered enough under obozo?
So vote for Hillary then
Another pathetic RedRINOstate hit piece. Its just getting tedious at this point.
And make everything great, magnificent and terrific again and he can do it because he is the smartest, best at everything, knows all and will be the greatest unifyer we’ve had. The nasty people, democrats, socialist will adore the magnificent Donald, because The Donald said so.
I don’t trust “The Donald”, so ZOT me.
I am smelling the ozone again....
See ya. And no, we receive no support from any candidates or political parties. Hope you vote in November even if you have to hold your nose. We lose our country if we don’t defend it.
Go, Cruz, GO!!
Go, Trump, GO!!
We win, they lose.

Does Red State write anything other than anti Trump pieces. Wouldn’t mind Red State Articles banned!
If you have such disdain for ‘conservatives’ why are you on a conservative website? Perhaps Moveon.org or DemocratUndergrond might suit you better?
This is just one of my musings, but I think Trump is going to go down in history as one of our greatest Presidents. He’s made his money, he’s got his fame. Now he’s going for his place in history by saving our Country. And he will, as failure is not in his lexicon.
