Somebody said they’d vote for Hillary over Trump recently. I just can’t find it right now.

“Trump is going to ransom those “motherfrakers”.”

I hope so.

“We have zero to lose.”

And much to gain.

He must have blowed up real good. There’s no trace left of him. Was he recent?

I’m sorry...It was TXDuke not TXDude...

And he said he would do a write-in, but he was viciously slamming Trump...

Those who want to have wounds healed will be in the fold by July. Those who secretly want to have Hillary elected to “teach us a lesson” will never be in the fold.

I don’t know if you have facebook and can see this but this is a typical Cruzer having a meltdown.

His name is Brison Doc Reed.

It’s just over the top.

The key to unifying the GOP will be to persuade conservatives that he really is conservative. But you’d think that if he had it in him he’d already have done that.

Everyone seems to have a hard time describing conservatism...Apparently this is it:

But none of these disasters shook conservative leaders from the optimistic haze in which they had lived since the Berlin Wall fell. They continued to insist that our basic policies of free trade, open borders, social liberalism, and near-permanent war were working fine.

If that's conservatism Trump ain't going...Neither am I...Neither are the millions of apparent non conservatives who voted for Trump...

I'm sure it's not over...They sent 15 minions out across the country to take Trump out of the picture...Trump crushed them all...Now Trump is going to bring the battle home...

Trump is not going to join their side...They are the ones who are going to have to change, or get out...

I will hold my nose and vote for Trump and I will pray we (GOP conservatives) have not been fooled again.

Who fooled you before??? I wasn't fooled by Romney...But I voted for the liberal loser anyway just to keep the Democrats out...

I may have stayed home when McCain ran (and quit before the contest was over) but Sarah Palin, like Trump gave me hope...

Oh no, I’ve been told on other threads that Trump can win without the base, and that they neither want nor need the support of me or any other conservative.

Whoever said that doesn't know who or what the base is...For us, Trump was the most conservative one running...But then we see 'conservative' means anything anyone wants it to mean...

Well I think he’s shown:
Love of Country
Love of Family
Love of our Military
Understanding that with no Borders no Country.
Understanding that Free Trade is not US getting screwed in Trade
Wanting to lower taxes for the middle class
Bringing back US companies to the US

And because of those things the 'conservatives' don't like him...He's not conservative enough, or at all...

Go figure...

Sorry, but Trump already won the base in most states, unless you think categories like “very conservative” and “evangelicals” are not fundamental parts of the base. The Cruz people pretending like all the conservatives supported Cruz, and all the not-conservatives support Trump is to be frank simply delusional and goes against all the evidence. I hope you can break away from the whole litany of radical misrepresentations you have been fed about Trump and his supporters.

“I have no doubt any of us here at FREEP could run the country better than 99% of the idiots inside the Beltway.”

I literally believe this.

I try only to occasionally watch him during commercials on other channels, but Chris Hayes on MSNBC tonight showed numerous clips of Ted Cruz praising Trump to the hilt before he became Trump’s main rival. It is very interesting to think of how these anti-Trump people used to feel about Trump before he got in the way of their preferred plans. If only Cruz’s big supporters would embrace Trump like Cruz himself used to do.

Just catching up here tonight and your comment jumped out.
You really haven’t been paying attention have you?

It’s not about how conservative he is, it’s about getting the freakin job done, now! Cruz couldn’t convince conservatives in the last 7 states voting, that he could do the job!

SMH

I agree with you, and I have little doubt that those here are working against Trump will parade through threads barking about what he isn’t doing. You can’t win with some people, I’m soooo over it!

Our nation is in deep deep trouble, if one takes the effort to truly look at it in totality, it’s freakin scary!

I’m praying that all the nameless/faceless elites are exposed, once and for all, and that good honest decent people stay strong with their resolve to end this damn charade. Let us catch our breath before the leftward commies come back up to bat!

Bravo! Amen LS, so clear a blind bat can see it!

I can’t stomach all this gnashing of losers stating what the winner must do! Such a disconnect it’s downright hilarious!

Do you doomsday folks ever get out and engage with people?
People of various age, race, income, gender?

Seems you don’t - I can tell you that the old bat is yesterdays news and is in for the ride of her life.
