As a confirmed Cruzhole let me lament the rise of European style nationalism/populism over anti government conservatism.
I’d prefer Trumps brand of politics (nationalism, government support for the middle class) over the left, but I’d hate to see the anti-government libertarianism streak of the Republican party be swallowed up by a more populist movement.

I don't know if Trump can win without the reptile loving fruitcakes in this country. /s

It must be 2-3 percent of the Republican vote

Btw—It's called patriotism not nationalism. In case you haven't noticed this country is already destroyed.

The last thing we need is another creepy foreign born ineligible first term senator harvard lawyer.

My advice is to pull till ya hear a pop.

You can lament all you want, but at some point you going to have to man up and deal with reality. Given the sad spectacle of the welfare entrenched, left leaning, and majority minority democrat voting public, there is no conceivable way T.Cruz can fashion an electoral victory. It can’t be done and you don’t have the math on your side to do it.

Without some sort of populism we end up with the criminal hag or the avowed communist. A vote for Cruz is a vote for them.

Cry all you want, but participation trophies have been cancelled this year.

Respectfully,

We have 2 generations of young people who don’t even know what an America led by a Reaganite govt. looks like, much less how it operates. Fiscal responsibility is totally foreign to them. (Hence the popularity of Mr. #FeelTheFreeStuffBern).

Not only that, many have been indoctrinated by leftist professors. Look at Trump as a necessary stepping stone, a transitional President who can create a healthy economy that will show the indoctrinated youth that their commie professors were wrong.

What anti-government libertarianism streak? It was swallowed up by the McCains and Romneys and McConnells long before Trump ever appeared on the scene.

It's that streak that excludes Nationalism in many Conservatives and their voters.

Until conservatives adopt Nationalism first, they will continue to lose. And lose.

Remember, Reagan was a Nationalist first, Conservative second.

That would be the open border, politically correct, anti-Christian social Marxist wing of the Republican party. You can not have economic freedom without social freedom where the majority are Christian. Let it die.
