Cruzlims make me sick. This woman singlehandedly nuked the ERA amendment in the 1970s, among SO many battles, and was one of Ronald Reagan’s closest friends.

And now she is supporting someone who won't push back against gay marriage; won't even defund Planned Parenthood; and does not have a history of serious Constitutional concerns and proposed remedies for same.

I think these are some of the reasons Schlafly is being put out to pasture. She's just not conservative enough anymore.

I submit that Schlafly's fall from conservatives' grace is not a proper reason to call Cruz supporters sickening. I personally believe that Cruz supporters are a lot more concerned about the country than just the ISIS and immigration issues (Schlafly's most often expressed concerns)--both of which issues Cruz would handle well.

My point here is that Trump's conservative creds are pretty thin.

For 20 years conservatives have failed and the country has become much worse.

Conservative principled need to be overhauled. They are leading us to ruin and now Cruz has thrown in with those who have destroyed the country.

Why do you say untruths. Trump has gone on record multiple times saying he would defund PP as long as they are in the Abortion business. The clip is even linked on Life Site News website.
If you do not want to vote for Trump knock your socks off but if you haven’t actually read his website position statements and listened to full interviews instead of misleading gottcha clips you should realize that you may be being played.

Trump has been Conservative about Trade, Immigration, the Wall, eliminating Common Core and devolving the responsibility to the States, ending Obama care and substituting HSA and competition for Private plans across State lines.

People have lied repeatedly about his statements of Government Healthcare. In 2000 Trump said single payer had worked for some countries and the Senate had a plan with many choices that could be adapted. Within a couple of years he siad the time for single payer had passed in America and perhaps it never would have worked. His references to Government paying for healthcare are restricted to the indigent and Medicare.

Trump loves our country and wants to return jobs and create a climate that will attract & return industries. He has a common sense approach to closing down Government over reach. Listening to his interviews from 1980 until the present the same themes emerge. Trump was not a politician and was not then nor is he now ideologically pure. But contrasted to the slick politicians that know the buzz words he actually believes the things he says and is committed to bringing American prosperity back rather than giving lip service and keeping his mouth to the political/lobbyist teat.
