So we end up with a New York liberal as President, whether we end up with Clinton or Trump.
Technically all of the previous candidates have only suspended their campaigns. It is a legal technicality that involves fund raising and matching federal dollars.
He did hug his dad.
Now might be a good time to remind ourselves that we could sure use Ted Cruz on the Supreme Court.
This just in: Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, and most every RINO in Salem Media have been put on suicide watch.
You might go back and read post 36.
Please everyone, give the Cruz folks some time and distance, we’re going to need them, no gloating, Cruz did a good thing tonight.
You might learn a little graciousness.
Tnx, I must have missed it.
>>I have more respect for Ted Cruz now then I have had for a long time. Eventually you got to say I lost.
Cruz was my last chance to see a conservative president. At 82, I will not live long enough to see another. I am glad to have experienced Reagan.
Give me an exact quote, in context.
That or drop the passive-aggressive whiny shit.
Great. Now it comes down to two candidates I detest. No, I won’t vote for Hillary Clinton.
Yeah, look.
I know you don’t like Mr. Trump. I know it’s disappointing to see all this emotional investment you had in a candidate come to nothing. I’m not going to begrudge sadness. (I’ll begrudge spite, yes, but you don’t seem too spiteful at the moment.)
I recommend you maybe take a break from FR. Doesn’t have to be long; doesn’t have to be short. Just get your mind off of politics for a while. Grieve if you need to.
Then come back. You might feel the same way, or maybe you won’t. Possibly you’ll realize why so many of us do seem to like Trump’s candidacy. Or maybe you won’t. But I’ll bet that you’ll feel a lot better if you just take some time to process the whole thing.
I won’t judge grieving, or sadness, or frustration.
I will judge spite, and I’m going to call out those who are passive-aggressive and spiteful, mostly because spite is just going to make things worse. Though let’s be honest, INTERNET RAGE really isn’t that strong a weapon in either direction.
But as for those who aren’t spiteful... Be sad if you need to. Take a break if you need to. Grieve if you need to. You had a lot of emotional investment in this campaign and it didn’t pay off.
So take the time you need to care for yourselves.
Good advice. Thanks.
Good luck working through the whole thing. God bless.
“Whoo Hooo! Now we truly have a uniparty with two liberals running for President. Now we get to look forward to 4 years of Hillary! (that would be sarcasm if it wasnt the truth)”
Bashing Trump at FR is over. All you’re doing now is helping Hillary.

its time for all patriots to forget about the Cruz v Trump flamewars and unite behind our nominee to focus on defeating the godless America-hating traitor, Hillary Clinton.

If you can’t do that, then you should go ahead and opus out and go hang out at rightscoop.com or the like.
You are correct. Trump may not classify as in the classic conservative checklist that hard cote party party members treat as orthodox, but he what this country needs right now to prevent it’s slow decay into globalism. Say what you will, but I can tell you that Trump loves this country and does want to see Hillary put the final nail in our coffin.
A vote for a 3rd party or a stay home in the general election is a half a vote for Hillary. Think about that between now and November and ask yourself if you can you feel good about yourself making that choice.
Kasich seems to think that staying in might earn him the Veep spot - he has no plans to get out.
At least those who really understand that stopping Hillary is the real goal can get down to brass tacks and stop the infighting.....
Agreed!
