Amen.
But put on your heavy duty flame suit - now!!

We conservatives are a minority in the Republican Party.
The Majority are Populists.
Happily, the RINO Liberals are the smallest group.
Therefore, it is incumbent upon us relatively few conservatives to take the next several years to inform and encourage our Populist brethren to embrace actual conservatism. That’s a real job. It starts now.
Good luck, and G-d Bless!
BTW, you are 100% correct.
There's always been a significant percentage of them here.
But like you I'm surprised at just how many there are.
Have a nice day.
I have been on FR since 1998.
I am an avid Ted Cruz supporter, and did all I could to help him achieve the primary victory he had in Idaho, which is where I have lived for the past 20 years. Originally, I am a native Texan.
The Donald Trump phenomenon is a direct result of the GOPe’s behavior over the last 15 or more years, and of Trump’s ability to tie into that anger and frustration.
despite what he may have done in the past, if you go and read his proposals in detail, if those things are enacted, they would be good for America.

The fact is that people believe that Donald trump, irrespective of all else, including his past, will actually do the things he says.
And if he will, it will be good for our country.
Do you handle snakes too?
Senator Cruz’s dual citizenship with Canada until May, 2014, sort of dampens my enthusiasm for him as a presidential candidate.
You believe that this is "bad"? You should have seen FR in '07 and '08!
You missed the DRUDGE WARS, the DRUDGE& LUCIANNE WARS, and so much else, it's not worth listing.
And the disgusting waste of bandwidth space, what with all of these whinging, whining, STUPID vanities is appalling.
Amen...I completely agree
Waaaa! Teacher make them stop liking Trump. I have butthurt. Waaaaa!
Phyllis Schlafly, Jeff Sessions, and Franklin Graham would disagree with you.
Then go somewhere else.
Keep in mind I am not even American, but here’s my take:
Trump may certainly not be that pure conservative, even by a long shot, but he seems to want to get there. Has Jeff Sessions been completely fooled? Phyllis Schafly? Palin? Dr. Jeffress? Jerry Falwell Jr.?
Trump is surrounding himself with the right people and he’s showing the backbone to fight.
I started out liking Cruz, but realized pretty quickly that he’d never win the general election. Sorry, but there’s something very unsettling about him. He sounds so much like a slick and phony lawyer/politician. I think the left would chew him up and spit him out. They won’t do that with Mr. Trump. Other way around.
Mr. Trump is deceiving a ton of people at this site who should know better.
Rest assured Trump will cut DEALS with the DC establishment should he be elected President.
I agree with all of these things, but I think many see the candidate as flawed. His favorite book is NOT the Bible. He was for gun control before he was against it. He's done things and said differently. His statements on PP, and his propensity to be a "Republican" version of Obama with executive orders (although I wouyld be fine with him EO-ing all of O's EOs null and void) His twitter account...
what I don't understand is what you are saying. If the alternative is Cruz, why are some of these Trump supporters (most of who liked Cruz before) behaving in a particular manner? It's not just the insults, which I don't mind. It is the intellectual inconsistency.
I hate saying this,but it is the level of "worship" liberal losers had for the kenyan back in 2008.
I respect that you differ in your opinion on the best candidate from me. Attacking people in a personal way for their beliefs is not a way to win them over. That goes for both sides.
In my case I did not like Cruz’s support of TPA, the Corker amendment, but most of all his selling out tea Party and conservative primary opponents in the 2014 primaries to get McConnell’s okay to run for President. I just cannot come to trust him. For me, backing Trump requires a great leap of faith and a risk but I personally believe he is worth the risk. In my heart I cannot trust Cruz any more than I could Rubio after the Gang of Eight.
“For the first time since Ronald Reagan, we have a constitutional candidate running for the GOP nomination. “
Another one of these whiny posts.
What happened is that Trump early on took the issues that people here have been screaming for candidates to fearlessly champion without backing off at the first swipe from the left.
Trump took the heat and the attacks for that, and he didn’t back down.
He thus put those issues as the central themes of the campaign, and not what’s under Hillary’s pantsuit.
And thus HE GOT THE SUPPORT.
Cruz spent the entire summer and up until December in single digits and avoiding any attempt at getting into the fight. He hid behind Trump and let him do the heavy lifting.
So you know what? Trump got the gold, while you post yet another one of these goofy appeals to vote for Ted just because he checks off some boxes on a piece of paper and not because he earned it.
This isn’t conservative affirmative action.
He had his chance, he did not lead, and now Trump is
