Right now many people are in the denial stage. “Trump isn’t real. People supporting him are not going to vote, or are stupid, mislead, liars, you know, not conservative.”
After Trump wins Super Tuesday on 1 March, a lot of this changes to extreme anger, but it will be much less hopeful.
After Trump wins a few more elections, will come bargaining.... “Why doesn’t he hand the reins over to a real conservative? He’s made his point.”
And after a few more elections, will come depression. “Trump is going to win. We are doomed.”
Finally, by the time of the Convention will come acceptance.
The FRumpsters now sound like Salon, D.U. & Kos kids parroting Trump's liberal talking points on Iraq.
And it's like Trump has not a clue that Planned Parenthood sells its aborted baby parts for profit.
Their future President mocks a disable reporter and they just laugh.
And Ted Cruz, with Mike Lee, the only two Senators pushing back against Obama, Mitch McConnell and the GOP is now the devil incarnate.
Free Republic has indeed jumped the shark.
I have never looked for an alternative Conservative site since I joined, but that is something I'm considering.
Actually, I am hoping the zealots would leave the party for the political promised land. 40 years in the wilderness would do them some good.

We'll still get blamed for everything, FRiend. ;)
There is no other aspect of planned parenthood, don’t you get it? People supporting trump will say ANYTHING to defend him.
Don’t be a fool catsrus
I’m going to lobby President Trump to relocate the Yucca Mountain project to Texas since so much nuclear waste comes out of your mouth.
Not true! I went to Planned Parenthood as a young lady for birth control pills. It's where all the young marrieds in the midwest went to get birth control. Course that was many, many years ago but I'd probably never heard of abortion at that time.
I support Ted Cruz, but would vote for Trump. My fear is that Trump is on a mission to win the nomination and then fumble. Trump comes across as such a big ass that I find it hard to believe that he has the support he has.
What you said! Congress has had plenty of opportunity to fix this and they won't. Why? Because they are bought out by big money - all of them! DT isn't. My best and last hope.
I share your consternation The Bible speaks of a strong delusion o the end times I wonder if it is beginning
The problem is that politicians that have had a history of being conservative seem to turn SHARP LEFT once reaching the peak of their power.
Given that, it’s hard for us to say who’s worse: McConnel/Boener for funding ALL of Planned Parenthood, or Trump for supporting PART of Planned Parenthood.
Like it or not, we’re pretty much out of luck, regardless of who we support, so we might as support the guy who will give the GOPe a POUNDING, given everything else is a crap shoot.
Yes we are all sinners. Where are trumps fruits of repentance? They are non-existent, he is the epitome of pride.
My reason for not supporting Trump is his pattern of inconsistency; he has no guiding philosophy other than “whatever works.” As such, voting for him is choosing the proverbial pig in the poke. I don’t want to be governed according to whatever wild hair happens to be tickling his backside on a given day.
Trump or Cruz ,
lets hope we can vote for One !
Of course I read what I posted. Did you? I pointed out that Cruz gave a vague answer where he talked about building wall(s), not a wall, but walls, and gave no specifics about how many miles he would build.
Cruz gave an interview 4 years ago where he was asked if he was in favor of building a border wall. He didn’t even bring up the issue on his own but was merely responding to a question about whether he supported building a border wall. His answer? “I’m in favor of walls, fences, drones, anything that works’. And you consider that a ringing endorsement for building a border wall? Anyone with half a brain can see how much wiggle room he leaves for himself with that answer.
Cruz was asked about building a wall and he answered like a good politician with a vague, CYA answer designed to satisfy everyone but give as few specifics as possible. How many miles of fences and walls does Cruz propose? It could be 10 miles of fence and 10 miles of wall. He never specifies, then after this interview which took his supporters all these months to find, Cruz went virtually silent on the issue until 4 years later, when Trump made building a wall a central issue in his campaign and forced him to talk about it. If you think this is proof that Cruz wants to build a significant border wall, you’re drinking some very strong Kool Aid.
Trump has made it clear that he plans to build a significant stretch of wall that will cover the entire border, minus some stretches that have natural barriers. He’s given a figure of about 2,000 miles. These are the facts.
Yes the shark has been jumped!
A+++
Short answer - NO. FR has weathered many storms and this too shall pass.
I’ve been trying to temper my remarks in case I am forced to pull the lever for Trump just to stop the old communists, but by God, I agree with you. Just a few short months ago we were excited about our deep field of candidates, now, it’s a race to see who can embrace more liberal claptrap as cover for the Donald.
Donald Trump is a populist, pure and simple. He appeals to our basest instincts, and conservatives have taken the bait. He has no philosophical or ethical foundation.
I will admit that he seems to love the USA, but that along with “build a wall” shouldn’t be enough qualification to be chief executive from a party whose beliefs he does not seem to agree with.
