As the battle for the Republican nomination for president shifts to South Carolina, all wings of the GOP, establishment and tea party conservative, are wrestling with the existential problem of how to stop Donald Trump. Trump, who won a convincing victory in New Hampshire, threatens to run the table by racking up enough wins to quickly amass enough delegates to lock down the nomination. The Club for Growth, an economic conservative group, has launched one of the first shots with an ad that attacks Trump’s conservatism and his character.

Donald Trump should be a “good conservative” and advocate open borders for dirt cheap labor at home and, where that’s not possible, shipping as many jobs as we can to third world countries. These are the platform planks of “good Republicans” favored by the CFG.

How can they even suggest such a thing, that Trump isn't a real conservative!

Here's Trump giving his support to the traitor-in-chief on his worldwide apology tour...

TRUMP [on the Larry King Show (April 15, 2009), referring to the then newly elected communist president (Obama)]: "Well, I really like him. I think that he's working very hard. He's trying to rebuild our reputation throughout the world. I mean, we really have lost a lot of reputation in the world. The previous administration [GW Bush] was a total disaster, a total catastrophe."

And I'm not saying I agree with everything he's doing. I do agree with what they're doing with the banks. Whether they FUND THEM or NATIONALIZE them, it doesn't matter, but you have to keep the banks going."

Fred Dicker: What is it going to mean for Donald Trump to have Bill de Blasio as [New York City] Mayor? "

Donald Trump: "He's a smart guy that knows what's going on really big league and I think he is not going to want to destroy New York."

(Voice Over: That was Donald Trump a little over two years ago, endorsing [Marxist] Bill de Blasio for New York Mayor)

Donald Trump: "I think pretty strongly that he'll end up being a good mayor, maybe a very good mayor."

(Voice Over: De Blasio ran on class warfare, sanctuary cities and ending stop and frisk. De Blasio's sided with looters and cop killers against the police, with teachers unions against schoolchildren and with PC liberals to let the homeless run wild on city streets)

Donald Trump: "I think he is going to want to make New York great. ..."

In continuing his "New York values" line of attack, Ted Cruz brought up an interview Donald Trump gave years ago in which he himself emphasized his New York background as being important to his political philosophy. And now we have that interview.

Cruz's campaign posted the video earlier today of Trump with Tim Russert on Meet the Press in 1999.

Russert asked Trump about gay marriage. Trump didn't want to comment on it, but said he has no problem with gays in the military.

He explained, "I've lived in New York City and Manhattan all my life, okay? So my views are a little bit different than if I lived in Iowa."

When Russert asked Trump about abortion, he said he's "pro-choice in every respect" and again cited his New York background, which he said has a "different attitude" from most of the country.

"50 years is enough , " Trump said in an interview with the Daily Caller published Tuesday, referring to Obama's decision to re-establish U.S. ties with Cuba.

"I think it's fine. I think it's fine, but we should have made a better deal," Trump added. " The concept of opening with Cuba is fine."

Club for Growth? Growth in what? Immigration? obamacare? the national debt? Revenues? Growth of what?
Please define “conservative” by listing for us each singular requirement. That you.

Right now, DT sounds to the right of Attila of Hun only because he is running for the GOP presidential nomination and does not want to be outflanked by anyone on his right. His past policy positions and political contributions suggest DT is anything but a true movement conservative. Truth is he is a big phony and cannot be trusted. As a Californian I can tell you Donald has a lot more in common with Arnold than he does with Ronald.

I love this Cruz ad:

Look, I got the Trump action figure”
“What does he do?”
“He pretends to be a Republican”
Kids all laugh”
I bailed out the big banks, too big to fail”
“I gave $$$ to Pelosi, Reid and Anthony Weiner”
“Hillary, I will give you money to be my friend”
“ Don't take away my house Mr Trump to build a casino parking lot”
Kids shout :"Eminent Domain" and laugh.
Then they all join in destroying the big doll house while parents look in horrified.
