“but a few of us still care about conservatism. “
That self-righteousness posturing is why Cruz isnt the nominee.
That’s a lie, as Cherie Blair once famously said.
No, we would not support Trump if he ran on Bernie or Hillary’s platform. But we do not trust weasel Cruz who instead of going back to work has refused to let go of his quixotic and ludicrous attempt to become president. In between swanning around the Kentucky Derby, of course.
‘I know that many of you would vote for Trump even if he ran on Bernie Sanders’ platform’
Clueless.
Oh, give it a rest yourself. The Cruzlims' holier-than-thou attitude is one of the BIG reasons your boy lost big.
Don’t waste your breath around these parts it is a futile effort. I will vote Trump but I do like Cruz as well. It doesn’t matter one iota that Cruz was the champion and anti establishment person long before Donald found the R next to his name making the millions off the same shenanigans he rails against. But hey the “I know the game because I played it” schtick worked. We cheered him relentlessly one filibuster to the next but one day all that changed. One day someone else came into the mix that never railed against these things until it was popular to do so. And in one magic wave of a hand and click of a finger a republican and movement was born.
While I will pull the lever for Trump I’ll have a very watchful eye on him. It is ok too to be critical of him to ensure he doesn’t blow it. BUT that may be difficult here without blowback because for many here on the 7th day Trump rested....tread lightly
If free trade and legalization of illegals is on the platform it is not conservative - no matter how many times these free traitors invoke Jesus and social conservative issues to cover up their pro globalization policies.
Not until the final gavel falls will we know who is the nominee. That you would even think otherwise, explains the invalidity of your next statement.
This is just about maintaining conservative principles in the platform.
Just like in 00 and 04, eh? Wholebunchalotta good THAT did our nation. Or perhaps you meant in 08 and 12. The results of THOSE elections speak for themselves.
I know that many of you would vote for Trump even if he ran on Bernie Sanders' platform, but a few of us still care about conservatism.
Since you seem to think you know what I care about, I'll tell you what I think YOU care about. You care about the continuation of the corrupt Republican wing of the Uni-Party and the nation be damned!
You GOP apparatchicks make me sick! Your selfrighteous attitude and pontifications ring as hollow as a rotted out tree. So just go and side with your "CONSERVATIVE" demi-gods and leave us AMERICANS to attempt to repair what you and those like you have so mightily screwed up
What "conservative" principles? Open borders? TPP? Elimination of the middle class?
You are silly. We had the senate, house and the presidency under bush and we got nothing conservative. We have abortion on demand with Reagan and bush. Nobody wants to get rid of abortion. It’s all BS nonsense for delusional people like you to kiss their butt. It’s over. Trump is for getting rid of refugees, build a wall, fix the economy and bring back jobs and fix the screwed up trade deals the republican house did.
Back with the purity again. Let it go. As a candidate and person, Cruz leaves a lot to be desired.
Cruzers don't actually care about conservatism, otherwise they would reject Cruz as scum due to lying about his position on amnesty for more than a year. Cruz is the sort of "conservative" who only conserves the wealth of the Chamber of Commerce goons and Goldman Sachs. Politico also reported Cruz's team wanted to make it so that delegates are not bound on a first ballot for the 2020 elections. Cruz probably hopes Trump will lose, then he can steal the election in 2020 by stacking his supporters as delegates contrary to the will of the voters.
“...but a few of us still care about conservatism. ‘
Yeh right! So that’s why you backed an ineligible Canadian-Cuban who is such a POS those who know him hate him, is that it? As used today the word “Conservatism” has become a pejorative term. Sadly, that term has been unjustly used to describe men like Cruz who are simply using it as a means of fooling folks like you into voting for them. I’m just glad Ted won’t be able to get near the White House, unless he applies for a bathroom attendent’s position. If he does, I’m sure he will mount a fight over towels or toilet paper!
Conservatism and Pentecostal BS based on Dominionism is sick as hell. Cruz is mental.
Trump is wet where Abortion is concerned, Since 1976, the pro-life factions has at least been able to gain this concession from the Establishment. People forget that until the late ‘70s, the Democratic Party was the pro-life party. Carter’s Sec. of HHS was pro-life. The Kennedy threw off the mask and came out as pro-abortion.
Yep that platform that changes everything. Remember when they asked Bob Dole about the abortion plank and he responded heck no one ever reads that thing.
Still upset that Trump won the “very conservative” vote in more states than Cruz?
