Congratulations to our presumptive nominee, Donald Trump!
Great job in New York and throughout this campaign. Cruz and Kasich are now mathematically eliminated and just like all the others who were mathematically eliminated should concede and drop out so we can all unite behind our nominee and prepare to defeat the godless America-hating traitor Hillary Clinton in November.
As conservatives and patriots, it's time to put bruised egos behind us, heal our differences and act united in the best interests of our nation. The media and the GOPe will try to keep us divided, of course, but we must not fall for their treasonous tricks.
A divided Republican party will ensure Hillary waltzes into the White House in November.
Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction. Hillary would be a third term for Obama and would complete his mission of completely destroying America.
Do not let freedom expire on our watch!!
I'm praying this forum and our loyal members will now be shifting into high gear to defend our freedom by uniting against the treasonous enemy within.
Let's get Trump over the 1237 mark and finally take the GOPe completely out of the picture!!
Then onward to the presidency in November!!
Agreed. Thank you, Jim!
Thanks for the ping, onyx!
I've never ever seen those two demons slam their gobs shut before he did that.
you have to go back at least two maybe three generations when there were a lot of socialist / Democrats. Then there were moderate Democrats. And now there are conservative Republicans for the majority. speaking of Americans of Italian descent.if you’re ever in New York City you’re welcome to come to Staten Island for a great dinner. :)
Sir,
I am flattered you would respond to my question. Of course this is your site and your rules, and the folks “zoted” did all leave of their own accord.
That said I wonder how many of “the bitter enders” may, upon reflection decide that perhaps Trump is the candidate to support given some time. I know that in the last election it took me some time to come off of the disappointment of Newt G. to see that Romney was not a horrible choice and in the end I voted for him with some measure of enthusiasm.
In the coming weeks we are likely going to see on the 26th a further indication Cruz has run out of steam and then on the Indiana on the 3rd a similar result. Because the race has been long and the battle hard fought, it might take a few of the really devoted Cruz a few weeks to calm down and see Trump is really not that bad.
I guess I am saying that long standing folks that walked off in a huff might be want to come back eventually. As Lincoln said the Grant in 65’ “let um up easy”.
By that same token, if folks expect the Cruz supporters, many of whom have been long term fighters for the right, perhaps a bit of respect shown to their sensibilities might pay off in the end. Kind of like the good sportsmanship shown after a hard season. If you like Cruz or not, you have to admit he was a scrapper and I can respect that.
We do need every vote this coming election and I would hope there is room for everyone on the right to find something good in the fall ticket. You many not like Trump and be suspicious of him, but this will be the first time ever that a non-politician contested for the office of the president. It is the closest thing to a peaceful revolution we have seen since 1896. It is hopefully the state of some sort of American restoration, but to do it we need as many of the folks on the right to come to that realization on their own as possible. Make it easy for them to do so in the coming weeks.
Conservatives who support Ted Cruz were lost by Trump the day he started referring to him as Lying Ted. Trump was only thinking about himself this entire cycle and he personally denigrated some very good conservatives. He wasn’t thinking about unity then and shouldn’t expect it now. On to the second ballot at Cleveland
Numerically no one except Trump can get first ballot. It is the only way to make sure of no GOPe Hanky Panky, and anyone who has been around FR should know not to trust them.
United We stand, Divided we say “Hello Hillary” :(
Bigun................Suicide by Cop.
Oh well....what’s for dinner ?
See my post 279 and tell me what will YOU do when Trump becomes a GOP-e toadie?
Never happen you say? Then I say he has NO CHANCE. The Uniparty will destroy him. Even if it means the Republicans lose to Hillary.
After all - many predict this is their game plan. As it was in 2008 and 2012.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to persuade them that voting for your candidate promotes their interests. Persuade. Get it?
Pro-Tip: Insulting people usually persuades them that you're an idiot.
I'll stand with you on this hill. If we die on it we die on it. Trump is a buffoon and an embarrassment and an abuse of power waiting to happen. His over inflated ego is very much like Nebuchadnezzar whom God brought down very low to wander the earth as an animal. I can't think of anyone in my lifetime who has exhibited more gross arrogance and know-nothingness than Dirty Don. His claim to fame: He's an insult factory and a user and abuser of get-rich opportunities (though he had the advantage of starting rich). UGH! How low so-called conservatism has sunk (not true constitutional conservatism, just a faux conservatism) and what a different website FR is from what it used to be back when it made an important contribution.
Sorry, this disaster is all on Trump - he is the one who decided the way to win was a scorched-earth campaign of personal attacks on the other candidates; and his supporters joined in with the same tactics on the supporters of other candidates. To expect they will all just fall in line for the sake of party unity after that is naive. There will be some that will hold there nose and vote for Trump if he is the candidate, but enough will not to make any chance of him winning in November a dream. And if Cruz were to win the nomination, Trump supporters have already said they would sit out or go 3rd-party.
Rude beyond redemption THAT one.
Bigun? I don’t think so!
If the GOPe aligns itself against Trump in the main contest then it will die altogether.
It is the culture of Washington needing the change, not Trump.
...and what in those 30 plus years has he personally done to help the conservative positions? I'll tell you...he has continued the practice of donating to the liberal politicians and greasing the hands of politicians to influence his business ventures. Trump's presidential is all about Donnie and the Trump family fortune.
So much for accepting reality. LOL!
I hadn’t either and it proved to me that he would beat her like a drum in the fall if he can get past the convention.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
That was accomplished when the neo-cons became the GOP establishment. They were the Trotsky wing of the communist Democrat party. Then they were the GOP-e.
Now, We the People are taking back our party and our country.
Actually, due to Trump wanting to improve our trade deals, many Sanders supporters are saying they will go for Trump over the witch Hillary.
We might be in good shape.
