Ah yes, the old argument that since I can’t or won’t refute your argument, I’ll just accuse you of supporting the other side. It comes in different versions.
If you dont support Trump, you are supporting Hillary
If you dont support Romney, you are supporting Obama
If you dont support McCain.....
Heard it all before and it is just as weak now as it was then.
I am a Conservative. I vote FOR conservatives and conservative issues. I have work hard within the GOP to elect conservatives in every position starting at the local precinct level, state level, and even the national level.
Will I vote for Trump in the general? Yes, I will most likely hold my nose and vote for him. I pray that he will govern as a conservative. I fear that he will not.
But if he wants to shut out the GOPe, if Trump wants to govern as a conservative, he can’t do it alone. He will need conservatives in the Senate and in the House. For Trumpers to try and primary out a solid conservative candidate just because their candidate was in a hard fight for the nomination ... that is pure folly.

“I am a Conservative. I vote FOR conservatives and conservative issues. I have work hard within the GOP to elect conservatives in every position starting at the local precinct level, state level, and even the national level.”
Good points and you have my respect...but that does not mean Cruz is without some issues that other equally serious conservatives might see and object to.
Just as it is very legitimate for a conservative to have issues with Trump.
But in the end our choice is going to be Trump or Hillary/Sanders. Folks want Trump to win, warts and all.
Well, in reality that IS what you are doing is helping the other side because you can’t get over the fact that Cruz lost and you think he still has conservative principles.
What I’ve been trying to tell you all along is the vetting process here at Free Republic is Cruz is not or at the very least he was pretending to be a conservative. He had some of you fooled. That’s not on us.
Your main “folly” is still thinking Cruz is a conservative. He is conservative IN NAME ONLY from what he proved in his run in this primary. You can support fake conservatives all you want. At least here at FR, the conservatives figured the guy out. But you admitted, you don’t trust Free Republic. So I ask again, why are you here if you don’t trust the conservatives here? The only logical answer is to start trouble and help the other side.
