C'mon Free Republic, let's get it done. Great effort by Ted Cruz and his supporters, but let's Rally NOW around Donald J. Trump and Make America Great Again!!!!
Coming from you, that is quite good.
Carry on.
Says who? He loses to Hillary and Sanders in recent polling. His national unfavorable rating is 62%. How can he win when the vast majority of the country hates him?
I’m not trying to rub it but you need to look at the SC vote. 73% evangelical electorate and Cruz was beaten by both Trump & Rubio. If Cruz can’t beat Trump or Rubio with that electorate he never was going to beat a Dem in a general election.
Go ahead a believe any delusion you wish. TDS.
Sounds like a liberal to me with the Nazi comparisons.
Trump started out as my second choice but he behaved like an ass and then poisoned the well with his constant ad hominems and insults and his non-conservative positions and inconsistencies. I suspect he is near his ceiling; establishment support will align behind Rubio and a lot of Cruz supporters now wouldn’t urinate on Trump if he were on fire. Count me in the latter camp.
It seems clear that Trump has beaten Cruz; I don’t think there can be any other fair reading of the Evangelical vote in SC. But he has lost much of the potential support he needs to gain a true majority in the nominating contest, and the nation as a whole will never elect him.
Sorry, Trump only “behaved like an ass” is response to smears from Team Cruz. Fact is Cruz threw the first bomb with the NY Values smear. If you’re going to dish it out you better be able to take it, IMO.
They’ll come around eventually. Just give them time to hear what Mark Levin and Glen Beck has to say.
Give it up. You sound like a liberal with that Nazi crap. Whenever a liberal describes a conservative they use the word NAZI.
There is NO shortage of Socialism running around the US.
Some proponents are quasi "Patriots" and some are H->! accolades of the Internationalism of Socialism.
Then you’re forced to acknowledge that Trump smeared himself, since he originated the “New York values” idea in the Russert interview.
I thought that was a stupid move by Cruz, but if it’s a smear it came from Trump himself.
From Wikipedia:
[Nazi political strategy focused on anti-big business, anti-bourgeois, and anti-capitalist rhetoric, although such aspects were later downplayed in order to gain the support of industrial entities, and in the 1930s the party's focus shifted to anti-Semitic and anti-Marxist themes.]
Is Trump Anti Big Business? Anti Capitalist? Anti Semitic?
Don’t confuse the German 1930-1040’s NAZI positions with the positions of Socialists with a National focus in other countries.
Exactly.
Trump is NOT a Conservative. I’m not sure he’s even a Republican. I’m not entirely convinced he’s actually stable.
I’ll stick with Cruz.
I’m done voting for the lesser of two evils. If I can’t get someone who espouses conservatism and love of country. I’ll stay home. Crazy Bernie can finish what The current moron started. I’ll not have a lunatic make this country chase it’s tail in my name.
How could anyone be more liberal than:
-signing a liberalized California abortion law - 1967
-giving amnesty to illegal aliens in America - 1986
-supporting the Brady bill against the 2nd amendment - 1991
-coming out in support of NAFTA - 1992
Yet Ronald Reagan did all of that and more.
Some people are truly delusional. They set up straw man conservative standards that even Ronald Reagan can’t measure up to.
Who is the bigger liberal, Reagan or Trump?
I say that as a former Cruz/Trump person who has switched to trump/Cruz.
That kind of crap helps ensure FR will never be able to unite for anything.
“The big hand isn’t where it was yesterday. Keep up.”
I assume you mean Trump praising his good friend Hillary as doing a great job is the ancient past in Trumpland where you live so it’s irrelevant.
I don’t live in Trumpland where you live.
Trump is not my cult leader nor is any candidate my cult leader, so it’s not the ancient past and irrelevant.
NO
Thanks, but NO thanks!
Ronald Reagan made those mistakes once, regretted it immensely, and spent the rest of his life fighting it. Trump in the last week said he was for the most heinous part of Obamacare, blamed Conservatives for the mess the country is in, repeatedly took the bus to crazy town attacking Cruz.
A year ago he was supporting Democrats like Schumer and Pelosi. 10 years ago he was rubbing elbows with the Clintons and calling for the impeachment of George Bush. In 40 years he’s never so much as voted in Republican primary.
At what point exactly could you identify when Trump exihibited ANY Conservative bonafides?
No one is 100% conservative all the time and I do not fault Reagans failings when his back was against the wall, you knew damn well what he was going to fight for. Trump apparently changes his mind about what he thinks and what he will fight for on nearly a daily basis.
Lastly, don’t compare Trump to Reagan. It’s like comparing me to Obama because we both claim to be Christan therefore since I’m. Not a perfect Christian he gets off Scot free with his nonsense. The two don’t compare.
