They’re just compensating.....
I’ve got bigger fish to fry then to worry about voting for the more “conservative” candidate. I like both and could care a less.
IAs a Trump guy, I noticed Breitbart didn’t really report much on the Ted Cruz Wall Street connections. So I can say the lean Cruz actually.
John Nolte, who is the best, has said in his articles that is here I’d with Cruz but he loves what Trump is doing to the media and has said let them go at it because the Democrats media will attack Cruz with everything and he has to handle it well.
I am astonishingly surprised Robinson has let FR turn into what it has this year. There have always been disagreements around election cycles in the past but nothing like this time that has gotten into the sewers and stirred up a lot of crap.
1. Make an accusation
2. Explain it a little
3. Assume it is true
4. Act as if it is true
5. Draw conclusions because it is true
LaLa land.
Did you hear that Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh’s shows are not so secretly being financed to shill for the Ted Cruz campaign?
Ideally, I lean with Cruz. Still, I like Trump also.
I’m not about to let the FR Inquisitors lump me into their “not conservative enough” groupings. We’ve got libs to defeat this year.
In #68 I’m talking about the general tenor of FR and the propensity towards personal attacks on each other.
It's true, Trump is not a leader -- a candidate -- with as strong conservative values that most of us here at FR long for, but by his words and actions it's clear that Donald Trump loves America.
So ... Trump drops out. At the very best, this results in Ted Cruz (who I hold in the highest regard) fighting for his viability in a national election against the newly-energized Jeb "I-don't-have-any-principles-but-it's-my-turn-to-be president" Bush, Marco "I-want-amnesty-for-illegal-aliens-but-I-can't-say-so-until-after-I'm-elected" Rubio, and (heaven help us) Chris "I-can't-get-that-image-of-him-hugging-obama-on-the-eve-of-the-last-election" Christie. And Cruz's three opponents will have the full support of not only the Democrat/Socialist Party and the MSM, but the Republican GOPE/RINO leadership as well who, I'm convinced, would like to destroy Cruz's political future.
Notwithstanding the phenomenal conservative success at the state and local level (due in no small part to obama's uncontrolled egotism and his undermining of his political party), the chance of our success at the national level is, at best, tenuous. You realize of course that in order to win this election we need to pick up states -- we need to gain electoral votes. The Democrat/Socialist Party is going into this election with a high electoral vote count advantage no matter who they run. If we cannot overcome that, if we cannot energize voters who don't know the difference -- and who are unlikely to take the time to understand the difference -- between honorable candidates such as Ted Cruz and, yes, Donald Trump, and communist candidates such as the duplicitous and cold-hearted Hillary Clinton or the feeble-minded Bernie Sanders, America's de-volution from a free country to a totalitarian state will not only continue, it will accelerate.
Despite Ted Cruz's appeal and his uncompromised love of the Constitution, unlike Donald Trump he doesn't (to me, at least) seem strong enough to overcome the powerful forces lined up against him -- including the GOPE/RINO leadership and influential members of his own party. I just don't see Ted Cruz gaining enough electoral votes to overcome the advantate the Democrat/Socialist Party has with the siren-song of "freebies" for all. It seems to me that is would be extremely difficult to pick up a state that voted for the communist/muslim sympathizer for a second term based on the results of his first term. Of course, if Bush or Rubio or Christie would prevail as the nominee, there is no doubt we would lose electoral votes from the last election ... an outcome the GOPE/RINO leadership appears quite willing to "live with".
So, I urge those who may not like Trump -- and by extension who dismiss conservatives such as me who support him -- to reconsider what they think of Trump's candidacy ... to spend objective, thoughtful time considering Trump's value to stopping the very real possibility of communist president selecting like-minded Supreme Court justices who would no doubt be confirmed by a complicit "opposition party".
You and the article are delusional
Do you listen to Beitbart news? Do you go the Breitbart and read the news?
Trump coverage is hardly glowing
Nothing like a primary season to bring out the best in people.
The Cruz supporters here were obnoxious from the very beginning, so the time frame is irrelevant.
Why post a months-old story?
It smacks of desperation.
They call everyone that supports Trump a sheep, but then demand that you support Cruz or else they will unilaterally strip away your conservative label.
They’ve already demanded that FR ban Trump supporters more than once. So the reality is that these folks are little more than pseudo-fascists and thought police at this point.
I don’t post very often anymore. What you wrote though really hit a chord with me.
Full disclosure— I like both Cruz and Trump. I’ll vote for either in the General election. I’ll vote for Trump in the Primary though. And really it’s for one reason only, I received daily pleas for money from the Cruz campaign and none from the Trump Campaign.
As a log time observer of Politics that behavior really bothers me.
“...then once he wins the presidency he will kick butt some more using what ever it takes...”
Emphasis on, “WHATEVER IT TAKES”...
Has he said what, if anything is “off the table” when he as “master negotiator who always wins” is negotiating with congress to advance his agenda? Which Constitutional rights would he take “off the table” and commit to not negotiate away and allow either legislative and/or executive policy infringement upon?
Private property rights? The RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS for unborn children? Assault rifle ban? Etc. Etc. Etc... Hasn’t he expressed an opinion on those things in his recent past that would indicate he had no problem infringing on those rights? Has he “evolved” so recently just for votes, or because he is no longer a liberal and is now a converted “committed conservative” who will now refuse to negotiate any infringement upon Constitutional rights?
What has he said directly to that reasonable concern? Does anyone know for sure? Or is it just a “gut feeling” that he won’t?
Your posts portray your ignorance...Yawn...
$5, $10, $20, $100. It's for the Priest.
Of course I do. That’s what’s hilarious: Trump is attacking Cruz for having wealthy supporters, but he’s got a homo fan-boy building his case.
I didn’t think this was personal attack, more like a little bitch slappen
Not a stretch, in view of the fact that Andrew Breitbart was one of Arianna Huffington's right hand men in setting up and launching HuffPo.
