Sooner rather than later you're going to run out of road.

TDS seems to do that to those who succumb so deeply.

I've seen you as well as other Trumpettes stomp around on FR - countless threads on which you don't discuss issues and policy differences with respect, but rather post nasty, gibe filled gloats, rumors and lies. Your particular specialty is gratuitous zingers. What does that really accomplish besides momentarily satisfying the bully in you?

This is no Superbowl or World Series - winning as such is absolutely meaningless when what's at stake is the restoration of a *Constitutional* republic. It's been easy for many to have an emotional reaction to what Trump says, and believe *whatever* he says, rather than THINK and listen carefully elsewhere. You much rather throw in with a candidate not having a proven conservative record, who makes contradictory statements on a daily basis.

Even if Trump should win it all (though the odds are stacked against him), he has shown by the way he's conducted himself during this campaign that he lacks the character to restore the country.

When it comes down to it, it takes a proven Constitutional conservative to restore a Constitutional Republic. No other will do because they don't have it in them. Trump doesn't have the Constitution in him.

BTW, re all these christians on the threads complaining that Cruz hasn't tithed: according to Jay Sekulow, Cruz contributed hundreds of pro bono hours to the case that saved the Mohave Cross in Arizona, and did the argument before the SCOTUS. There's more than one way to give to the Lord, or “give back” as is commonly said.

I am making a conscious, considered and deliberate decision to support Donald Trump as and when he becomes the parties putative nominee. This is not an emotional experience but a purely pragmatic judgment.

Any mourning to be done is far more likely to be done by Trump supporters after they watch their man lose to Hillary or, having gained the Oval Office, betrays them on virtually every front.

More likely than mourning which involves soul-searching, these fools will most likely reach out to rationalize their folly by blaming others for the calamity they have brought to the party and to the country.

I will do my duty out of patriotism.

Well, I’m not a “dude” and Trump doesn’t care about the Constitution.

The comment was aimed at the subject of your post.

Really? Then I stand corrected.

Calling me “dude” has been in vogue on FR this morning.

Since you didn’t say anything in the post I responded to, of course I was responding to the story.

Over the years I’ve noticed a strong habit of people on Free Republic to not read the story linked, only the headline, and then make comments of ask questions that were answered in the story.

Another is to read a story and think, somehow, the original poster wrote it and launch on them personally.

All in all I’m more amused than angered this political season.

You got a love affair going on with Ben Sasse today? This is the second 'Ben Sasse won't support Trump' article you've posted. What's next, regurgitating National RINO-Review's latest "Hillary would be better than Trump" screeds?

Trump disavowed David Duke.

Go find something else to go insane about.

Looks like Sasse would rather see Hillary or Bernie in the WH if (when) Trump wins the nomination - then he (and other idiots like him) will blame their dang “principles” and claim they had no other choice - while leaving America bleeding and crumpled on the side of the road.

His vote doesn’t count anyway, as long as he’s still registered in Nebraska - the state is SOLID RED, about as red as they come.

But he sure as hell better hope that Trump loses now.

Write yourself in Bennie. Nebraska will not vote Hillary and Trump will win your state anyway. This is fund raiser letter stuff.

As always in the general, one votes for the best of the available options, the lesser of two evils.

Lesser of two evils is explained well here:
Rene Henry Gracida, bishop emeritus of Corpus Christi, Texas, wrote:

"I honestly do not know at this time what I will do next November as I stand in the voting booth. At the present time I do not believe that I could bring myself to vote for either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, if they are the Democrat and Republican nominees.

"The old axiom that one must choose the lesser of two evils is false since the more fundamental principle is that one ought never to choose evil. I have toyed with [the] idea of writing in the name of Ted Cruz, if it is possible to do so, in order to prove to God and my conscience that I did not vote for evil."

I guess you just asked Sarah Palin to lead the primary against you.

“But I cannot support Donald Trump.” — Leon Wolf

And I cannot find any reason to give a care.

I’m just surprised that he has enough egotism to think ANYONE does.

As Paul Harvey us to say, he is overrunning his headlights.

Look for Rmney to enter the race to preserve the Uniparty. Split the vote enough to have get another Clinton elected without a majority of vote. This year’s across Perot.

So, these people all realize Trump disavowed Duke, correct?

Or are they ignoring that so they can play off a sound bite?
