I don't like to say it...but we have fellow conservatives...saying the cruelest things to one another....
It's just not right...nor is it civil.
I've come real close a time or two...leaving this place for good..
I've backed off posting....

This whole thread is...just well unfortunate...and a sign maybe of FR’s death.

Not at all. We are just having sunshine shined on politics. Some folks can’t deal with the truth that we’ve been manipulated and lied to for years by “conservative” career politicians like Ted Cruz and their paid for chattering classes. And we have Donald J. Trump to thank for that.
People just get too emotionally invested in their candidates. I make my decisions based on detached analysis (was for Cruz at the beginning, but gradually moved to Trump). I guess some people can’t check their emotions at the door when it comes to choosing a candidate.
It’s been a brutal primary, that’s for sure.
I think the root of the problem is the depth of the anger people feel toward the government, but also towards the GOP for not doing what we sent them to do.
So now conservatives have had it and one group thinks that Trump is the solution to this, and others think that Cruz is the only solution to this, and both think that the guy that they do not support is a continuation of business as usual.
I don’t think that either man is the magic silver bullet that we are looking for, but for different reasons.
I do think that Cruz is not who he poses as. I do believe that he is of the GOPE, and what he did was he ran against the establishment and pretended to oppose them in order to advance his own career, and it worked.
Based upon things that I have seen him do starting with the Corker Bill and into this primary, I don’t believe he is on the level.
Trump, even though I like him very much for being not a politician, also does not fully understand, I believe, just how dangerous and malignant our government has become. I view our government as a malignant cancer, and I don’t think he sees it that way.
Nonetheless, I do believe that Trump is honest and honorable, and means and does what he says, so I am willing to give Trump a shot where I am not willing to give people who are of the GOPE a shot any longer.
Unfortunately, conservatives of both camps are now clashing, and we will either be able to come together, or we won’t.
I can’t see any reason to support Cruz any longer. He has proven that he cannot win this without a contested convention, and that is a place that I do not want to go, because that takes the power out of voters hands and puts it back in the hands of the GOPE.
I don’t see Cruz as being worth that risk.
That is where I am at on this.
