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!!!!
Wow so now the “Principled Conservatives” are talking their talking points from Obama
Here you go:
It’s over, barring convention chicanery
Will never rally around that fraud. I will fight this liberal in conservative clothing to the end.
Trump has many Socialist tendencies. He’s also a Nationalist. Hence NS, like Bernie, but less so.
Donald Trump is no more liberal that Ronald Reagan.
People hold up Ronald Reagan as the ultimate conservative.
There is no such thing. Everyone makes compromises.
Ronald Reagan/s liberal actions:
In 1950 Reagan helped raise money
for democrat Helen Gahagan Douglas
against Richard Nixon for California senator.
In 1966, Reagan put together a campaign group
to run for California governor. They were
Phil Battaglia, Casper Weinberger and Jack Warner.
They were all from the liberal Rockefeller wing of
the Republican party, not the conservative Goldwater wing.
Reagan Gets Bill Easing Abortion In California - Jun 14, 1967
June 14, 1967 The California Assembly passed and sent to Governor Reagan a bill easing the state/s abortion law, unchanged in 95 years.
Reagan said the bill was /by no means perfect/ and would have to be watched closely to prevent California from becoming an abortion haven.
But he said he would sign it despite his doubts about some possible /loopholes./ /I am fully sympathetic with attempts to liberalize the outdated abortion law now on the law books of California,/ the freshman governor said....
The bill...would permit abortions before the 20th week of pregnancy if:
-The prospective mother/s physical or mental health is in danger.
-The pregnancy resulted from incest or forcible rape, or statutory rape in the case of a girl 14 years old or younger.
The old law permits abortions only if the life of the prospective mother is endangered.

1970 Governor Reagan, who once said /taxes should hurt/,
disclosed he paid no state income taxes in 1970 on his
$44,000 governor/s salary and personal assets of around $1-million.
The average worker made around $5,000 per year back then.
1970 as governor, Reagan appointed Donald Wright as the
Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court. Wright/s
court later found the death penalty unconstitutional in California.
1972 Reagan supported the re-election of President Richard Nixon instead of giving support to conservative Republican candidate John Ashbrook, who ran an effort to dump Nixon.
As California Governor, Reagan used his own office funds to keep the Office of Economic Opportunity alive in the state and he tried to make California the first state to create its own consumer affairs dept.
1976 in his presidential run against Gerald Ford, Reagan chose the most liberal Republican Senator in the senate, Richard Schweiker as his vice presidential running mate. In 1980, he chose another liberal running mate
George HW Bush.
1985 Reagan, as president, spent $5-billion to bail out the Continental Bank of Illinois. He also added
$9-billion to the International Monetary Fund so Mexico, Brazil and Argentina could pay the interest on
their big debts to the American banks. At the same time, he would not bail out American farmers.
Reagan/s 4th year budget was $141-billion more than Carter/s 4th year budget. Reagan/s total deficits for 4 years was 4-times the total of Carter 4-year total deficits.
Reagan increased the national debt in 4-years as much as all the presidents from Hoover to Carter did.
Reagan Supported the Brady Gun Bill in a speech at George Washington University in 1991.
In 1992 Reagan supported NAFTA (North American Free Trade Act) As a candidate in 1979 Reagan first talked about a North American accord. In 1992 Reagan made a plea in a Wall Street Journal editorial to, /tear down the trade wall/.
“Like it or not , Trump is the only one who can win the general election ...”
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?
Congratulations to Trump and his supporters for tonight. I cannot, in good conscience, vote for him.
We need to unite to take out Rubio. He’s the GOPe and media golden boy. (as if we didn’t see that coming).
Stick to what ever it is you know. Historic knowledge is obviously no where in your repertoire of skills
“National Socialism, more commonly known as Nazism or Naziism, is the ideology and practice associated with the 20th-century German Nazi Party and Nazi state”
Well cut off your nose to spite your face then. All you end up with is a noseless, bloody face.
Yes, Trump and Cruz need to make up and crush Rubio
Don’t hold your breath.
You’re trying to appeal to common-man versions of the media and the establishment.
They just can’t comprehend the rules have changed.
Trying to evaluate Trump by historic political standards is like trying to weigh yourself with a laser level.
You just lost the argument.
Germany had National Socialism in the 30's and 40's. Since it was NATIONAL, it may be significantly different from National Socialism in the US in the 2010's.
Trump has not supported socialism in many ways over the years?
Just a curiosity on your tag.
Wasn’t the cross of Christ conspicuous?
Weren’t many salvations conspicuous?
Advertising availability of a gift passed on from another source (as Christ passes on the Father’s love to us) is not vaunting. Vaunting is to promote for vain, selfish purposes. The difference is the attitude: “by the grace of God I pass this benefit to you” is not the same as “look at me, me, me, I benefit you.”
Trump is a tool of vegence. Lets hope he is used well....
Says me ... That’s what they said about the primaries ... Trump will get a larger number of Conservative Dem/union crossover votes in the must-win rust belt states and it scares the hell out of the Dims ...Trump is the best chance we have , and he will win
