>> The irony is the zombies are most concerned about immigration, but they have no clue Trump to this day supports touch back amnesty, which legalizes 11m illegals. Of course, with Trump, you never know what he will actually do because he comes out with new and contradictory statements daily it seems. No conservative philosophy guides him, only ego and what is best for Trump. <<

They're kinda like the old Illinois Oberweis cultists on FR, reproduced nationally on an epic scale:

Q. "But if immigration if your top issue, doesn't it bother you that Oberweis employed illegal aliens at his dairy and was on record saying he supports amnesty for illegals under 18?"

A: "LALALALAL I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!! OBIE IS THE ONLY ONE TAKING THE ILLEGAL ALIEN INVASION SERIOUSLY HE IS A BUSINESSMAN HE WILL CREATE MILLIONS OF JOBS AND YOUR GUY IS A GOP ESTABLISHMENT SHRILL!!! WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS!! I BET YOU'RE AN ILLEGAL ALIEN WORKING FOR THE GOPE TOO THAT'S WHY YOU DOUBT OBIE'S GREATNESS!!!!!!!!!!"

I’ve seen a couple other Trump worshipers toss out the “cult of personality” line against Cruz. Seems to be an organized talking point.

Kinda of like how super corrupt Chicago Mayor Big Bill Thompson accused his opponents of corruption. So absurdly audacious that I almost admire it.

Yeah, they've used the "cult of personality" line against Cruz, even though Cruz supporters talk about his liking record and positions, not his rhetoric or one-liners.

And quiet a few of them are "alarmed" that Cruz supporters "might not vote for the Republican nominee in November" and say that being united against the Dems in November is a HUGE concern... yet they're backing the LONE Republican candidate who WON'T pledge to support the party nominee if its not him.

They say we must heed the poll numbers and gloat about "the polls" showing Trump has a huge lead over Cruz and say the primary election is a done deal, yet ignore all "The polls" showing Trump would be the weakest candidate in November and lose to the RATs, and instead predict Trump will win huge and get a bunch of Democrats, independents, blacks, and Hispanics to vote for him because they say so.

And their "top issue" is "destroying the GOP establishment" because the "establishment hates conservatives" , yet they gleefully toss rock-solid conservatives like Thomas Sowell under the bus, and don't bash an eyelid when long-time GOP establishment figures pledge to do everything to derail Cruz.

When it comes to most of the tactics they're upset about, Trump supporters only need to look in the mirror.

RE:”...purge all Muslims from America ...”

And even after being thrown out by him they will STILL vote for Trump via absentee ballot, because he will get them great jobs.

Ironically it was Levin who was in past pitching that a candidate he likes (like Cruz or Trump) will revive the Reagan supporters from their graves to vote.

But the Trumpistas took it for their own.
