The question I never see answered by Trump people is why they do not see the absolute theater that Trump is putting on for conservatives. Oh yes, he’s a mighty big voice and can certainly scream and insult, but where (oh where) did he come by these hard-won conservative principles? If this were a true conversion, he’d have a lot of ‘splainin’ to do. As it is, he explains nothing and acts as though his past (positions, friends, party affiliation, donations, convictions, morals and photo-ops) have nothing to do with anything.

Well, sir (and madam), they have everything to do with a candidate I will vote for. Trump, in fact, has no political record as a conservative unless it favors his enterprises. Strange, then, that he has become the conservative darling without so much as a glance at his CV’s.

Then again, there are more pissed off people out there than thinking conservatives or looney lefties so why should anything else be expected?

Go ahead, America - vote for your tantrum!

Trump University collapsed in a blizzard of lawsuits in 2010, and in 2013 the New York attorney general sued Trump University for $40 million for allegedly defrauding students.
[Yeah. Put this guy in charge (NOT)]

Trump supporters dismiss his positions from summer 2015. Two years is ancient history. They do not care.

That's because it's flat out a lie and has been debunked many times right here on FR. Trump never said thet, an illegal said Trump said it which was not true. But who you gonna believe Trump or the illegal? I know, as with most liars, you have more in common with anti-American scum then you do with an American patriot.

Screw sundance. He’s been an Asshat this whole primary season and now expects to us to listen to him because he wants reasonable discourse?

Too late, buddy. You can take Trump and stick him up your you-know-what.

I have been trying to communicate this to Cruz supporters, however, they really do not want to listen. Certainly not to this depth, but the same conclusion: We must consolidate behind Trump. The sooner this is done in the primaries the more likelihood of the GOPe being unable to stop Trump in the convention process.

Does Trump have warts? Of course he does, but he is sincere in wanting to fix immigration, the number one problem this country faces that needs fixing immediately. I have faith that Trump will surround himself with the best of the best to deal with other matters he may not be up to speed on. But Trump is also a fast learner. Another thing Trump will attack= is political correctness that has gotten so far out of hand it borders on absurd.

Excellent article BTW. Thanks for sharing.

Now we start getting condescending pleas from the winners to support this carnival barker who is not that far to the left than Hliary. No thanks, that didn't work for me in '08 & '12.

I'll be voting for the most conservative 3rd party candidate.

I’d never even heard of this guy until about one month ago so why the heck should I listen to anything he has to say.

We can’t keep it.
The media has done it again. Trump has spent diddly on media but he’s there every time you turn on the TV. I know, they get ratings. They tout his ability to work the media, but I believe this is deliberate. Trump is NO CONSERVATIVE by any definition. We’ve lost the Republic to the cult of personality. We’ve lost the country and I truly believe, there will be many eating crow starting in January 2017.

Trump said he was totally against illegals and immigration - but it isn't true.
Trump said he was ALWAYS against the Iraq war, too, but it isn't true.

In a 2002 interview with Howard Stern, Donald Trump said he supported an Iraq invasion. In the interview, which took place on Sept. 11, 2002, Stern asked Trump directly if he was for invading Iraq.
"Yeah I guess so, Trump responded. "I wish the first time it was done correctly."
How much more deceit will the Trump supporters accept?

Donald Trump has many faces. Which one will he be wearing tomarrow?

As long as you define both as evil, yes you are correct. However, the choices you have defined as evil were not evil at all, just not desired as what you wanted.

Big difference.

No kidding. Same for the anti-Christian bigots among Trump’s base.

Don’t look to me for help carrying Trump over the finish line.

Teddy jumped the shark with too much religion and dirty trix. Not a good combo. Now he will go back to the senate and try to get elected for another term.

Here is my message for all you Trump Trolls.

I will not vote for Trump. Never.

If he is nominated, I will write in Cruz.

And, no matter how much flak you post on Free Republic, I will not be moved!

He's a liar that has changed positions in order to support Trump.

He also outed a protected witness and posted photos of her husband and child.

He is not an honorable person but he tickles the ears of people that agree with him so they listen whether he lies or not. They don't care.

I've been screwing around on this computer since the elections started. NEVER have I seen Trumps support for illegals debunct. All I've seen are Trump supportrs SAYING it's not true, and that's to be expected.

Trump Towers, NY....Only a handful of union workers from Housewreckers Local 95 were employed on the site, the vast majority were illegal Polish alien workers, toiling under inhumane conditions, and wildly underpaid. Trump and his associates were found guilty in 1991 of conspiring to avoid paying pension and welfare fund contributions.
