I may catch hell for this, but I would rather vote for Jeb than Cruz after the character he displayed in the later part of the primaries.

Perhaps you could have written your disclaimer at Post 1.

Still fail to see the utility of posting a stick to stir the pot with.

I think the likes of Cruz will get the blame if Trump loses. However, if Trump is elected president and the nevertrumpers worst fears are realized, Cruz will come out looking downright clairvoyant. It may be the gamble Cruz is taking.

But I think Cruz is going to be disappointed.

He can laugh all he wants as 75℅ of Republican primary voters will never consider him a serious candidate EVER AGAIN.

Ted is working alongside Mitt Romney and the Bushes to get Hillary elected. Ted is hoping that after 4 years of Hillary, he can come riding in as the Elmer Gantry in shining armor in 2020. That’s why his smug, self-congratulating speech at the Republican Convention was a rehearsal stump speech for 2020. The man is a waste of oxygen.

The problem is, there are at least two types of “never Trumper’s”

1. “NWO Never Trumper” - These are the Republicans who claim to be the “real conservatives” who have been in control of the party since HW Bush, but who are actually nothing but RINO New World Order globalists afraid that Trump will actually do what he says he would do.

2. “Socially Conservative Never Trumper” - These are real rock solid conservatives who are primarily driven by social issues. This group has been on the outside looking in at the NWO RINO’s who have run the party and the country into the ground after Reagan. These are the Tea Party Republicans, The Christian Coalition, or what's generally thought of as the “base” of the party. This group for the most part doesn't support Trump because they don't believe he will do what he says, that he is lying, pulling a con, ect. (in other words they think Trump is the same as every Republican they have had the chance to vote for since Reagan)

It is my belief that the NWO Never Trumper’s will probably never support Trump. Hillary is FAR closer to where they want to be than Trump.

BUT, I believe the socially conservative never Trumper’s WILL. They may be saying “now” they wont support him. But come election day... they will do what they have always done, pull the lever and hope for the best.

Yep. You nailed me, actually.

Number 2. At least I was...it’s been a long road. And most of what brought me on board has nothing to do with Trump. It has to do with Hillary. As much as I didn’t like her before (I was in Westlake park in downtown Seattle in the early 90’s when we shut her down on her healthcare tour. I was so close to her that I caught her eye when I yelled “Thanks, Mom.” when she said what she was going to give us), she is beyond scary at this point. I’m talking Russian revolution, French revolution, rise of Nazism scary.

Tough call on who is the bigger Traitor, Cruz or socialist/globalist John Kasich.

You're right. I've been here so long and involved in so many Freeper events I assumed most here know me.

Newbies.

I want everyone here to be aware what Cruz is up to. Cruz sending his right hand Amanda Carpenter to spout off to The Huffington Post demonstrates his ongoing sabotage.

Trump has already made the fools at HuffPo look stupid. Remember when the editors of the HuffPo announced they would only cover Trump in the "Entertainment Secton" of HuffPo. And lying back stabbing Cruz is finished. Now that George P has endorsed Trump he made my acceptable list should he decide to primary Cruz.

They're both disloyal, dishonorable, lying sacks of sh!t. The difference between them is the same kind of difference between e.coli and salmonella, both will make you sick as Hell after only a brief taste.

And if Trump doesn't implode? What does that mean for Cruz?

Permanent irrelevance. Hopefully.
