They are not with Trump due to conservatism. Trumps appeal is simply he has never been in an elected office. They think that makes him the ultimate outsider.

I have heard Obama described as an empty vessel when he was running, which your could fill in anything you wanted. Perot was that way. Seems like Trump is anything you want. You are right about it being the primary. But you need to ask yourself why you would ditch a true conservative for someone who has always been a moderate/liberal, at least up to a couple of years ago.

As I said in an earlier post, I will hold my nose and vote for Trump if he is nominated. But the last one I was really proud to vote for was Ronald Reagan. I just have terrible misgivings about DT.

“Conservatism is dead if Cruz is not the nominee.”

Freedom is just a generation away from extinction. That said, the trumpanzees are purely cult of personality, not unlike obolo zombies of 08.

Here we have the most conservative candidate since Reagan and the so called conservatives are picking an egomaniacal progressive oligarch because he is SPEAKING out on immigration.

Didn’t obola win the Nobel Prize for speaking about world peace?

Trump = older, whiter, richer, coarser obola
Trumpanzees = obola zombies = morons

Insanity.

You all have your collective heads where the sun don't shine.

Cruz is trying to make this stick, and it's not likely to work. Think about it, all the GOPe statements on how to get rid of Trump, all the nastiness they've given him, and now suddenly he's joined the GOPe because he's afraid of losing? *Sigh*

Cruz is desperately using this idea from a caller in to Rush from a few days ago, and nothing more. It's an attempt to knock Trump off message.

I don't blame him for this kind of political lie, it's what Trump has done. This one is akin to a hail Mary pass in football.

If The mouth gets the Nomination come look me up in the Spring of 18.

I won’t take the cheap shots at ya, but only tell you as a fellow freeper from WAY BACK here. There are a whole lot of you are not wanting to see the reality and are grabbing ahold of a lot of blistering, bolstering rhetoric. All based on nothing to back it up from the Man’s past. NOTHING.

I guarantee come 2018 while the most of you won’t admit it, what you are posting now will come to be proven as nothing but bombastic talk most likely admitted by then from Trump himself.

He’s Gaming you. It’s all a Con. He admits to it IN HIS OWN WORDS in his own book.

Cult of personality? Did you see Brent Bozell on TV talking about Cruz? This great man Cruz that, this great man Cruz that. That is a cult of personality that can’t see the forest for the trees. Cruz will lose 40 states Trump will win 40 states. Whatever happened to voting for the most right candidate that can win? We need economic growth in America not K street magazine puritanism.

Okay let’s go down that road. The Majority of Congress want “Common sense Gun Control”. How much you want the Mouth of Manhattan to compromise on that issue?

The Majority of congress want “comprehensive Immigration Reform” Meaning Amnesty. The Mouth has already said he would allow most back in. HOw much you want him to Compromise with Congress on that Issue?


As Savage (PBUH) said on the radio the other day: Do you want 75% of something or 100% of nothing?

We’ve seen how effective Cruz’s 100% of nothing beltway career has been in advancing conservatism. Why would you want to put that record of failure into the oval office?

You completely MISSED my point.

I don’t want ANY more gun control Legislation.

I don’t want ANY More Immigration legislation that allows Criminals to remain in my country costing us all Billions.

I don’t want ANY more pork barrel Budget deals.

Trump will negotiate with both the RINOS and RATS and we will get more of all above.

The Same crap sandwich they have been feeding us since Reagan.

Funny stuff - the guy who supports Trump is calling out Cruz for crony capitalism for taking out a loan against his own holdings vs. the man who admits to paying off politicians.

Facts - they don't seem to matter.

The reason the GOPe will warm up to Trump but not to Cruz is because they know that Cruz serious when he talks about conservative issues and Trump is just saying what he thinks conservatives want to hear.

They can “work with” Trump because they know they can cut deals with him. They know that when push comes to shove Trump is the GOPe.

JMHO.

But in posting for about 12 years and lurking for another 5-6 years, I don't ever remember the vitriol and hated that is flowing back and forth between the Cruzers and the Trumpsters.

The enemy is on the left not the right.

GOPe - “Keep your enemies closer”.


Exactly right. As Errol Flynn said, “Ride Toward The Sound of The Guns”..

My Guy? Yeah okay...

He has been in the Senate fighting these turd blossoms since he got there. Remember his fight against Rubio/Schumer gang of 8 bill? Oh where was the Mouth of Manhattan? Was he still claiming Mitts Immigration plan was Mean?

Or was he kissing the Asses of Hillary/Bill, Schumer or Reid?

Cruz has a history of fighting for Conservative causes that he said he would fight for.

The Mouth of Manhattan is all over the map on every topic/subject matter...

With the exception of stealing little old lady's homes to build whore House/Casinos he can make a few million off and dump on the Financiers that he STRONGLY SUPPORTS... It's just business baby, it the N.Y. way!
