Free Republic stands for God, family, country! America!
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United State of America."
Securing the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity is our mission on FR.
We cannot secure the blessings of liberty with Hillary in the White House.
When Trump wins the lion's share of the primary votes, states and delegates and the establishment installs someone else as the candidate, you've handed the election to Hillary.
Trump is the only anti-establishment candidate in the race and has won the lion's share of votes, states and delegates and is on track to continue amassing the lion's share of the votes, states and delegates by direct vote of the people.
We the People have voted and are voting to finally wrest control of our government from the entrenched corrupt establishment, aka, the uni-Party.
Cruz, Kasich, et al are mathematically eliminated and cannot win the nomination per the voters. They can attempt to re-wrest the nomination away from Trump and away from We the People only by corrupt establishment treachery at the convention. And that will split and destroy the party and guarantee a Hillary win.
NeverTrump is a losing proposition and will lead to a loss of liberty and loss of country.
This is totally unacceptable.
After the corrupt establishment losing twice in a row to Marxist Obama, I'm damned tired of the corrupt establishment and damned tired of losing.
If you are a NeverTrump type person, you are working against our purposes on FR, so please opus out now and log off and let us carry on with our mission in peace.
Continue insulting us with 24/7 anti-Trump diatribes and insults, your opus will be assumed.
We will unite behind our nominee and we will win this coming election (with or without you) and we will get a handle on this divided forum very soon.
Hope you understand my position.
By the way, Cruz's campaign still refuses to answer the question whether or not Cruz will support Trump if he's the nominee. He's taking the GOPe route of preferring Hillary over Trump. This is also totally unacceptable.
Yay! I always had hope for you. Welcome, welcome!
I'm not a NeverCruzer because it's not necessary to be. Who could have guessed one year ago we would be having the discussions we are? That the GOPee would have outted themselves as thoroughly as they have, that Cruz would be the weasel he is, or that I would be a Trump supporter?
We're in uncharted territory. I think I'll understand the landscape better three or six months from now...I'll wait.
And as JR said...our ancestors did some pretty knarly stuff (okay, I'm paraphrasing) to leave us this wonderful country. If I have to vote for someone I find politically, ethically and personally distasteful to save the country from Hillary, heck it could be worse
>>Are you saying that no criticism of Trump is to be tolerated?
Are you saying to no support for a candidate other than Trump will be tolerated?
The post was clear. DJT is the republican people’s choice. Our choice is between DJT and HRC/BS.
From this point on, ALL Trump criticism serves to do is aid and abet the enemy.
It is not easy to make the transition to Phase 2 for some who loved Cruz. I am thankful the People chose Mr. Trump. That is reality. I pray that the transition to Phase 2 will be eased for Cruz supporters, and respect your decision either way.
If you find that you can not support him, and thus would rather see a President HRC, what JR is saying is, please take it elsewhere. He does not want his site to do anything but help this nation survive and be restored to its roots. That includes criticism and negative comments.
This country is barely a country anymore. Make your choice wisely, for you and your family’s future.
Best wishes to you, don-o.
I agree. Antagonism breeds antagonism.
Trump supporters need to try to be gracious, and that process has already begun somewhat.
Unfortunately, the flip side of that means that it's the responsibility of Cruz supporters to stand down with their insults and constant derogation of not only the presumptive nominee, but his followers, and begin facing objective reality, and that's not going to happen with coddling or soft-pedaling.
It is what it is. Ted Crus is clearly fighting a losing battle. His support is clearly collapsing both nationally and in the remaining states. One must be in willful denial not to acknowledge that fact.
There's still a relentless propaganda war being waged against both Donald Trump and his supporters, and I, for one, am not going to unilaterally withdraw from that battle. That's not what you do when you're winning. It's what you do when you've lost. And Ted Cruz has lost.
I'm going to try to keep my powder dry until Tuesday night, however, because I think that will be the death knell of the Cruz campaign. After Tuesday night, when Cruz faces several more third place finishes, it will be past time for him and his followers to face the music. After that, no quarter will be given, nor should it...
I know enough to know when a Cruz cultist is being whiny and passive-aggressive, Donny-boy.
Save your breath, see post 494 to see the lightning.

So now we are being threatened to unquestionably back a candidate that just a few years ago was considered at no go and a conman by the same people, including you, who now demand we back him without any disagreement?
I’m not a NeverTrump but I won’t be bullied into giving up my belief in limited government,fiscal responsibility, the Constitution, family, traditional values, rule of law, and the word of Christ
This man donated to many of the same people who have been a thorn in the side those of us who are and remain conservative?
Great conservatives such as Sowell, Levin, Walter Williams, the list goes on have become suspect for the crime of disagreeing with Trump.
I maintain that the people who are being zotted and or have not given their unquestioning fealty to Trump have not given up their conservative beliefs and still hold them dear.
It’s you who have given them up and compromised them for an orange con man
I maintain should by some miracle he wins in Nov, you will be the first to regret your vote
Let’s see if you have the guts to post this before zotting me
“A NeverCruz position hands the White House to Hillary Clinton just as much as a NeverTrump position”
The problem with your comment is the assumption that Ted Cruz would have any chance of winning in the General Election. He doesn’t! Since both Trump and Sanders have correctly (more or less in Sanders case) identified the major problems facing this country, while they are as different as night and day relative to the solutions to same, I am betting that Sanders folks will not be all that motivated to vote for Hillary at the end of the day. Some might even vote for Trump, although just keeping them away from the polls would give Trump some serious help.
I mean let’s see if you have the guts to leave this posted before zotting me.
There are too many things that are irreplaceable to give them u to the latest con man tickling people’s ears
Weak.
;)
Aren't you paying ANY attention to the news, or are you only listening to Rush and Levin ?
You have NO acumen, at all, for political prognostication; NONE!
Seesh, Trump Derangement Syndrome causes suicides.
I will not give up my belief that conservatism is the better goal just because an orange con man told me so.
You have. That’s fine but I choose differently and am willing to be zotted for it
You seem to be living in an alternate universe. This is already impossible. Coalition, my ass. THhe voters are speaking and have spoken. As of right now, Ted Cruz has received 2.4 million less votes than Donald Trump, and that gap is only going to widen on Tuesday.
So take your GOPe/Cruz Common Core math and have fun with your little spreadsheet.
This is reality, not some theoretical exercise where you concoct some ridiculous sequence of events, which, even if successful, sees Ted Cruz:
Whether I would hold my nose and vote for Cruz is absolutely irrelevant. Basic psychology says that the above is what will happen.
And Cruz is willing to risk all of that on some kind of roll of the dice?
My God, what selfishness! If that's true, then Ted Cruz's egotism and narcissism are pathological, and I wouldn't want him anywhere near the White House.
Just give it up, as Cruz will very soon.
I'm sorry that I'm ahead of the curve, and can see a short distance into the future, and I'm even more sorry that Ted Cruz and his supporters are as yet unable to do so.
Just know that there is no scenario under which Ted Cruz steals seizes the GOP nomination and we win in November. None.
If Ted Cruz wins the GOP nomination, the party and America burn. I don't want that to happen, but that's what will happen. A blind man could see it with a cane.
Vote Trump
You’re on fire today! Excellent post after excellent post!!!
That’s the thing, though. The RNC has not ALLOWED any true non-establishment candidate since Reagan. Candidates who try, like Christine O’Donnell in DE, are smeared and taken out asap.
With DJT, finally, We the People stand a chance to break the choke hold these bastards have over us. If he succeeds, we will have the opportunity to get good people elected.
But first, the GOPe must be destroyed.
That’s why so many people are praying for the safety and election of DJT.
