Stand in the mirror and repeat this over and over again until it makes sense:
DONALD TRUMP IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE!
I'm done voting for RINOs and fake conservatives.
Trumpty Dumpty.
I am totally for Cruz. But right now, I’d rather hear for calls to have Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, Kasich, Huckleberry and the others drop out before I’d call for Trump to go away.
He is performing a valuable service in my opinion. Especially if it forces Jeb to go out and speak some more Mexican.
When I hear Cruz say it’s time for Donald Trump to drop out then I might consider it. Until then, now way in hell.
Florida votes in 227 days.
You have plenty of time to make up your mind.
Between now and then, candidates are going to speak, answer questions, and engage in fake debates, so, relax.
>>People that actually vote for this liberal loser when there are clearly viable conservative alternatives (i.e. CRUZ) on the ballot are no better than the GOPe trying to pass some RINO loser off as a conservative.
Cruz needs to step up his game. He and Trump occupy the same space in this primary and Trump is just outshining him.
I like Ted Cruz, but he's not going to win, and remains in the lower echelon of the first debate cutoff. I am highly suspicious of Walker's ability to "ramp up" his ideas to a national vision. To me he's stuck in "small ball." Likewise, Cruz, for whatever reason, has been unable to gin up the enthusiasm of ordinary people. I was in PHX when Trump, with no prior ads or media exposure except one story in the paper, took a meeting that supposedly was only going to have 1500 and turned it into an event with 20,000. He has the ability to speak big picture issues to the people.
So, you can have your purism. Right now, I'll vote for Trump and if he's not in, Cruz, maybe Walker, and after that, I'll sit home.
“I’m done voting for RINOs and fake conservatives.”
Well then you just eliminated about 95% of the republican field. In MY opinion, Trump is the only one that will stand up to the Washington establishment because no one is in his pocket that can tell him what to do. Will there be things I disagree with? Yeah, probably ... but his track record of success speaks volumes to what we need as a national CEO.
We've seen in the past, good conservative people get nowhere and have no traction because they were so easily silenced or covered over
IMO ... We can't afford another confusing and frustrating battle over who is conservative and who is not
We need ... again, IMO ... someone who IS loud and IS a fighter and for whatever reason (and the over abundnce of money is not a bad element to be in posession) ... CAN inspire Americans to become involved and really believe in themselves again
I'd rather make fun of a head of hair than wookies and jug ears and faggots
I don’t care if trump is a conservative. I’ve been betrayed so much by the GOPe that I’d vote for him just out of spite v
I listened to 12 candidates speak about immmigration in the past week in media interviews. Only Trump consistently called illegal aliens “illegals”, over and over again. Not “illegal immigrants”, or “illegal aliens”, but “illegals” the most hated version of that term, which Obama himself said is disparaging. Trump gets it, and will win the White vote that the GOPe is too scared to reach. Ted Cruz is the ONLY other conservative in this race, but the GOPe knows how to marginalize him. They cannot marginalize Trump. That’s why they fear him. that’s why there is no end to insipid articles like this. They know Trump will destroy the GOPe consultant/donor corruption that has destroyed the party.
Donald Trump is not a conservative? Who knew?
Didn’t know that. Hey, and thanks to “The Federalist” for letting me know.
Who writes these articles anyways? Does he think conservatives are stupid? We know exactly who/what Donald Trump is. It’s not exactly a second rest. Most of his life has been spent in the media headlines. That’s not what his current popularity in the polls is about.

So we can can all line up behind Jeb Bush? No thank you.
What I would rather do is NOT help any establishment candidates. As far as I am concerned, the GOP will not be a party I can vote for until it is gutted and the establishment losers who have held the voters in contempt are denounced and stripped of their power.
I like Ted Cruz. if he catches on, that would be great, but until that happens, I am content to let Trump rip the establishment traitors a new one for their treachery.
Donald Trump can inspire the nation and get its attention. I’d rather that we accept a Donald Trump presidency and use the money that would’ve been spent on a race primarying all the DC bums who support Boehner or McConnell.
It’s time for the establishment to wake up to the fact that their days are OVER. Liberals have had enough too.
Would you rather have someone who politely ask a political appointee (like the two bit IRS Commissioner) to kindly submit his resignation, or someone who will tell him “you’re fired!”
Huh. Neither was Reagan.
But I didn't cringe when I pulled the lever for him.
Trump has actually clearly said that he’d reform healthcare with, among other things, private plans like people had before Obamacare—but he would have the government cover healthcare for the poor.
That’s really no different than any of the “conservative candidates’” pitches.
It was a 15-years-ago one-time thing whereby he advocated an increase in the corporate tax rate. More recently, such as in his 2011 book, he has advocated zero corporate tax and low income taxes.
