I’ve been here on FR since 1998.
I support Cruz...but will gladly support Trump when/if he wins the nomination.
Having watched both men, listened to what they say and read their proposals in detail, I believe either man will make an outstanding President, despite what detractors are saying on both sides as a result of the political wrangling going on during the primaries.
Given the Hillary or sanders alternative...either man has my vote and 100% support when on or the other becomes the nominee.
I have a serious and non snarky question.
Lots of crossover Democrats to Trump. THOUSANDS.
What happens when they, not all, but a significant portion show up to the polls in November and vote for Trump, but down ticket for Democrats across the country. Trump could lose AND we could lose the House and Senate.
and to the argument that anyone could beat Hillary, well maybe so, but there’s a good chance she’s not the nominee and they pull out a dark horse. What then?
I’m REALLY asking, not snarking.
With due respect, I do not understand what seems to be your opinion of Cruz and Trump as essentially equivalent. Cruz apparently a corporatist, and perhaps a Dominionist hell bent with his wife’s help on a North American Union with open borders and a common currency and the ultimate demise of American sovereignty. He is GOPe on steroids while talking outsider.
I have not seen a single Trumpster say they would support Cruz if he gets the nomination. Have you?
"Having watched both men, listened to what they say and read their proposals in detail,..."
You made your decision to support Cruz based on an intelligent decision. Most of the Trumpsters I read on here go for him based on a knee jerk reaction.
If you’re either aware of, believe or suspect the following it would help to explain why you would vote for Trump if running against Hillary:
Hillary left our military high and dry to die in Benghazi.
“Oz” and “TIG,” heroes of the Benghazi Security Team, have endorsed Trump.
There’s no chance Hillary would appoint a non-corrupt replacement for Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia
Numerous friends of the Clintons have been convicted of crimes and/or jailed (e.g. Webb Hubbell, Dan Lasiter, James McDougal, John Huang).
Hillary used her private email account thousands of times to email classified information—a federal offense that landed General David Petraeus in jail for one like infraction.
As First Lady Hillary oversaw the firing and abuse of Billy Dale (“Travel Gate”)
Hillary’s husband has multiple accusers of rape and adultery with nary a concern from her. Hillary would systematically torment women who had affairs or had been raped by Bill Clinton.
Hillary had an affair with deputy White House counsel Vince Foster whom she either had killed or assisted in the concealment of his office files the day of his death (reportedly a “suicide”).
Hillary cheated on her husband with other women.
Chelsea’s Clinton father is probably Webb Hubbell—not Bill Clinton.
Bill Clinton probably has a son—Danney Williams—by way of Bobbie Ann Williams, a black prostitute from Arkansas. Danny was born in 1985.
Bill Clinton had a friend Jeff Epstein, a convicted sex offender. Clinton flew on his private plane to Epstein’s private island, known as “Pedophile Island,” 12 times.
Bill and Hillary probably made millions in cocaine trafficking in Arkansas.
The “Clinton Body Count” links prevalent on google reveal the names of many in the Clinton’s inner circle who were murdered rather than having committed suicide, with little to no inquiry by law enforcement or major media (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3024701/posts)
Hillary’s political life replete with flip-flopping on positions.
Hillary is a disciple of Saul Alinsky (Google “Rules for Radicals,” Alinsky’s book that he dedicated to Lucifer).
The Clinton Foundation is a tax-avoiding, cash slush fund at best.
Hillary said she once landed in Bosnia under sniper fire while video shows her landing under no fire and greeting children on a tarmac. She later pleaded tiredness led her to misspeak.
Hillary will not release copies of her speeches given to Goldman Sachs.
Hillary’s campaign is heavily funded by Wall Street.
Hillary was fired from the state of the House Judiciary Committee investigating the watergate case because she was found to be “an unethical, dishonest lawyer.”
From 1978 to 1979 Hillary turned a 9,987% profit in commodities training (“Cattlegate”).
The Clintons trashed the White House when Bill Clinton’s term ended. They stole White House property.
That is my position right now, Jeff.I do have some deep reservations about Trump but if it comes down to him being the nominee, I will support him, barring any absolutely prohibitive reasons.
Any way we look at it, this is a critical election and turning point for our country
I’ve been on FR since 2000.
I'm with you Jeff. All of this infighting is getting really irritating to me.
