This has nothing to do with Mr. Trump’s political views or leanings. It has everything to do with keeping Gingrich out of the running for VP.

He’s done it a hell of a lot better than 99% of the people folks here have assumed were far better.

“Conservatives” need to get that smug stick out of their ass and learn to actually win first before they sit and toss peanuts at others.

Gingrich, big fan of the individual mandate and Romney’s MA Healthcare nightmare:

‘“I think you have got to require everybody to either have insurance or post a bond,” Gingrich said in a video uncovered by BuzzFeed — the second item to surface on Tuesday in which the former House Speaker showed support for universal healthcare and the individual mandate.

In a 2006 memo, Gingrich said he “agreed entirely” with then-Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s healthcare plan, which some have said was the model for President Obama’s national reform law. Romney is one of Gingrich’s top rivals for the 2012 GOP nomination.

“We also believe strongly that personal responsibility is vital to creating a 21st Century Intelligent Health System,” Gingrich wrote. “Individuals who can afford to purchase health insurance and simply choose not to place an unnecessary burden on a system that is on the verge of collapse; these free-riders undermine the entire health system by placing the onus of responsibility on taxpayers.”

Gingrich said Romney should be “commended” for passing the state’s universal healthcare package.’

So let's see, there were sixteen other "viable" conservative candidates (not really, but just saying for argument's sake) and what we learned was there were no "pure" conservatives in the mix. I've actually come to the conclusion that there are NO pure conservatives. Ceratainly, no one can be thinking that Rubio or Cruz are in any way true conservatives?? And besides, Cruz is Canadian, so he would have been outed as such by the entire MSM about fifteen minutes after the RNC convention concluded later this month.

So puhhhhleaaase let's stop pretending that any of the sixteen candidates that Trump ALREADY DEFEATED espouse the ultimate virtue of conservatism.

Please consider making reference to our presumptive nominee Mr. Donald Trump with less sarcasm and more respect, especially here on this 100% PRO Trump site.

Thanks very much.
