Why This Former Trump Fan Doesn't Support Him Anymore

To state the ‘he fails ALL the time’ is utterly ridiculous.

Yeah.. that is a rather broad brushstroke.

[don-o]

The only think I ever heard him say was that the "Supreme Court has decided". Is that what you refer to as support? Honestly, I see no difference with Cruz's response: "It's a question for the states." Both are saying, "Not in my in-box at this moment in time."

There is a difference to my ear. "Question for the states" says to me that Cruz believes SCOTUS decided wrongly and violated the Tenth Amendment.

"Has decided" with no qualifier from Trump indicates Game over. Let's move on.

One of these bows to Judicial Supremacy (which most FReepers once loathed.) One does not.

[Mouton]

What is the difference?

[UCANSEE2]

On the one hand, using any kind of religious test would seem to violate the First Amendment.

Only if it's used against muslims. It's being used against Christians and the Supreme Court doesn't seem to mind a bit.

Hey c’mon.

I gave in on most of what I said originally.

You cannot expect me to completely give you the point.

:D

(Go Trump!)

Gotta stick with my guy. But the post is genuine.

[xzins]

Could be, but what I heard was each of them holding the discussion at arm’s length. They didn’t want to get into it.

Also, it is important as Rush said, that a lot of the establishment is saying behind the scenes that it is better to support Hillary than Trump/Cruz if either of them win.

We don’t have any doubts about what Hillary will support.

Only about 5% of new businesses last past the first year.

"Due to personal insults from Cruz supporters, I will NEVER vote for Cruz for ANY office."

How very "adult" of you...

[palmer]

In your link Hawkins says “However, even though I would certainly vote for Trump if he’s the nominee and would also work hard to get him elected, I have two major qualms about him.” Obviously did not want him to be the nominee, therefore Hawkins is lying.

[Hawthorn]

>> Political Death to those who dare INSULT his blessed name. . . . [W]e will have no candidate except him <<

Uh, shouldn’t words like “his” and “him” be capitalized when referring to our Dear Leader and Worshipful Master?

Shame on you!

[Hawthorn]

>> He calls Cruz a Canadian <<

He went one better this morning on TV, because he flat-out called Cruz a liar. So I guess you should add that insult to your list.

[Charles H. (The_r0nin)]

No harm, no foul, FRiend.

Besides, ours is a conversation that reminds me of Free Republic in days past. I miss it. We are all on the same team. That’s why I hate to see all of the vitriol, no matter whose supporters (Trump or Cruz) are doing it. They should save the venom for Hillary or Bernie!

[Bigg Red]

Same here. If a President Trump were just to secure the borders, he’d be a success, IMO.

[dfwgator]

This happens every election, the Rudy Wars were even worse.

[Obadiah]

We have four voters in my household in the fall. I certainly don’t want to see the final nail hammered into the American experiment, but I must tell you I have a very uneasy feeling about Trump.

I just have this feeling that should Trump win, he will shock a lot of people and will basically govern like John Boehner. If elected, Trump would have no further reason to at least genuflect to Conservatives and would likely be bombastic in his disregard of Conservatives as he is to others currently.

The thing his supporters seem to love most about Trump is his willingness to tell all others to “buzz” off. I hope they are willing to accept this “strength” when it is turned against them, as I suspect it will.

I recall Obama sitting in a California church and categorically pledging his support for DOMA only to become the most rabid and fanatical proponent of homosexuality in the history of the United States government.

So yeah, Hillary or Bernie? Never. Will my household support Trump should he be nominated? Probably, but we are by no means committed to that with certainty.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Roger that.

We shall see people start to get along again, once the race is a little more clear..

This week in particular, everyone is completely on point for their guy.

Hang it there. Freegards right back at you.

[pilgrim]

Thanks for the link!

Had not seen it.

[Bigg Red]

Or perhaps a DemocRAT troll.

[reegs]

OK, so, how will the Donald enforce this ban? Remember, Muslims practice taqiyya.

[Bigg Red]

I almost stopped reading before that where he cited the Trump quote about his shooting someone and still getting support. This clown is trying to say that Trump used that scenario as a description of his voters’ loyalty rather than as a description of the disgusting media propaganda.
