I respectfully submit that you are wasting your time. What was once a great site for conservative discussion has been taken over by Trump’s hypnotized army, and their behavior is most closely indicative of mass psychogenic illness rather than any sort of coherent movement or philosophy. The basic tenets of this site used to be very conservative. See this thread, started by the site’s founder (now seemingly a proud TrumpTard):
FR is pro-God, pro-Life, pro-family, pro-constitution, pro-limited government. Period!!
Many long-time posters (admittedly not the most independent of thinkers) are willingly rationalizing away all of the idiotic, leftist, and contradictory nonsense coming out of Trump’s mouth on a daily basis while trashing a man whose political career has been the essence of pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, and pro-limited government.
Most members of this site are at best hypocrites and at worst completely full of shit. As they say, a snake rots from the head down, and when the site’s owner bailed on everything he claimed to believe in, the rest was certain to happen.
Go elsewhere.
Well now...why did you feel the need to start your post being snarky, especially since I was responding to another poster.????.... That’s not exactly the way to go about winning friends and “influencing” people ya know.
Then you further embarrassed yourself by stating I believe what you think other Cruz supporters do about the issue when in fact not only did I not make any statement or claim regarding my own opinion on the matter, but I did not even imply such.
Perhaps you need to reread what I posted to Altura rather than make the assumptions which you have.
I’ll wait to hear what you have to say then.
I know, it's difficult to fore go the talking points, but just try watching it, you'll be shocked about how much of a nothing burger this is. It's not a sign of a drift to the left, it's simply nothing.
Yet you repeat the ridiculous talking points.
....” people think Donald Trump is serious about keeping his word. It does not match up with his history.”......
It doesn’t match up currently either. He’s back-stepped so often he’s wearing out his heels up against the wall. He corners himself all the time!
Cruz is cratering. He won’t see 700 delegates, and will be millions of votes behind. Giving him the nomination would destroy the GOP for generations.
Justify it anyway you want, but Cruz or Kasich will not be the nominee.
Good analysis. These people who write long tripe like this article fail to address the present situation. If the Republican Party hadn't been a rubber stamped for President Obama then voters would have been more inclined to trust party delegates. But that isn't the present situation. Trump has decent chance to get to 1237 but if he falls a couple of hundred votes short and does not get the nomination that would be disaster. The Republican Party would be left in shambles and it will take years to recover. If however they do the right thing and give it to the guy with the most votes, the most state wins they will have some say in how the Republican party is reformed during the Trump Presidency.
Trying to sell this history crap as justification for a crooked process is stupid and no one is buying in.
LOL! Nonsense. None of Trump's voters are going to forget the relentless, despicable character assassination campaign fomented by an unholy alliance of the Left/Media/GOPe/Cruz campaign, in an all-out, no hold barred effort to blunt his march to the GOP nomination.
If Trump comes up short in delegates, that will be the only reason. The idiotic GOPe flagrantly disregarded Reagan's 11th commandment, and now they have to face the inevitable blowback.
The GOPe has created a suicidal dynamic wherein if Donald Trump is denied the nomination, the party will splinter irreparably, voter enthusiasm will be destroyed, countless Trump voters will stay home, and Hillary will win in a landslide.
The GOPe and all the other pilers on have made their bed, and now they're going to have to sleep in it.
Ted Cruz stealing seizing the GOP nomination is an absolute impossibility. Sheer fantasy. These unprincipled, amoral, Machiavellian fools should have thought their "NeverTrump" scheme through a little more thoroughly, because now there will be no quarter given.
Think what you want and say what you want, but you can take that scenario to the bank. This ain't tiddlywinks, this is a Revolution.
If Trump gets screwed, the party will burn to the ground, and it'll be the GOPe's fault, 100%, along with all the other participants, including Ted Cruz. Trump will bear no responsibility whatsoever. And it will be richly deserved.
Checkmate! Donald Trump has already won! I guess you hadn't figured that out yet...
So you Ted Cruz fanboys can stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
The Revolution is ON!
Vote Trump
Look you can rant on and on all you want about the GOP /media and all....it’s not going to change the game which currently Trump has not attained the required count. Only he can change that equation.
And you do realize of course that some in the GOP are more than willing to see the Party “burn down” as you say,..... and let Hillary win....
Lakeshark..I do not need to listen to the video...I’m quite aware of what Trump said ‘when he said it’...as well as what he said in his usual habitual “clarification” followup.
Further I did not repeat anyone’s talking points....I referred to how some ‘Trump supporters’ were responding to what he said. ‘My’ opinion on the matter was not nor will it be expressed since you are already confused about the conversation to begin with.
You're just so far behind the curve, as Cruz is, that you can't see the forest for the trees.
Sorry, I've seen the forest and there's no turning back. I'm trying to put together an essay this weekend explaining my epiphany, but all I can say is that I'll be sleeping very well between now and the end of the GOP convention, secure in the knowledge that Donald Trump will be out nominee.
Talk to you soon.
The Revolution is ON!
Vote Trump
Cruz supporters sure have a hard time with reason!
He is league with the Bush's.
Right back atcha
Thanks for the zot ping re Doc.
Is the one who wanted to give us a math lesson a few weeks ago to show us how Trump would lose?
BOL! The Viking Kitties develop a new hi tech zot!
