Don't Worry, Be Happy!!!

Typical counterproductive behavior.
Here's reality: Trump settled that suit and paid up.
We agree, I too will vote for Cruz if he’s the nominee, although Trump is my first choice.
....................................
The fundamental core principle at election time is the right to vote, and exercising that right.
For an intelligent lawful citizen, not exercising that right should never be contemplated or carried out.
I’m glad you’re voting, it shows respect for all those who gave their all for our rights.
We'll see how it plays out.
Before I made my switch from being a Cruz supporter to supporting Trump I used to say:
If for nothing else, I'll always be thankful to Trump for getting rid of Jeb......
I’m glad he’s gone too, it was getting painful to watch. Seeing Barbara Bush on a walker in the snow in New Hampshire was beyond the pale.
Or maybe I’m trying to put lipstick on a pig. :?)
I just can’t imagine a real American rretreating when one of those 2 socialists are trying to overthrow our country
You won nothing.
I’m going to win less rape and murder of American women by foreign garbage. You can that to the bank.
I take it this long screed concludes I “must” vote for the Trump in the primary? No, thank you. And by “thank” I mean a different word that begins with a different letter.
The fundamental core conservative principle at election time is the right to vote, and exercising that right.
For an intelligent lawful citizen, not exercising that right should never be contemplated or carried out.
To vote shows remembrance and respect for those who gave their all for our rights.
I have voted in every election since I turned 18, and don’t plan to ever not vote.
That’s good news. Have a great election day regardless of who you vote for.
(so long as you don’t vote dem or third party, that would be a waste :o)
Oh don’t worry, I’ll vote for and support your Trump if he’s the nominee of course. I voted for McPain and Romney and Monkey Boy W Bush after all.
I’d even vote for the worst RINO dbag, gay’s itch (kasich) if need be (there won’t need be though). Any Republican against the democrat swine. I have a low opinion of third parties efforts in the vast majority of cases. I’m a nominate the best (who *I* think is best) guy we have and vote straight Republican in November man. I’ve only voted for dems in local (Chicago!) elections where it’s dem V. dem, and it was with bile in my throat, believe me, the Mayoral Race, ugh.
I’d take Cruz or Trump. Both are far better than our recent choices: McBackstabber and Mittens.
I go by the old Buckley rule; “support the most conservative viable candidate”. It always turns out to be a Republican. :)
Whew! Glad to know there are others. On my profile page, I think I wrote that I’d go scorched earth and vote for the Dem if the GOP serves up Donald Trump for our candidate. There’s a tiny chance that I’ll change my mind and write in Ted Cruz, but I’m not sure how that would help the situation. Besides, a vote for Hillary would allow me to let off the considerable steam that will have accumulated by that time. I will then shake the dust from my feet and walk away for participating in the governance of our nation again.
I understand that these actions may seem extreme, but I have my reasons. Eight years ago when Obamabots were swooning under his spell, I was incredulous. I understood full well that he was getting elected because of the color of his skin. Then in 2012 when he got reelected, I was both astonished and very frightened because, in spite of his dismal performance, he got enough votes to procure a second term. The light bulb came on then. I understood that Barack Obama wasn’t the problem — the electorate was. I resigned myself to the fact that we’d have to endure four more years of him before we could get a good conservative nominee.
I was comfortably sure we’d be able to pull the 2016 election off with a stalwart conservative because we were so sick and tired of the moderates that had been shoved in our faces and we were motivated to keep the GOPe from serving up another moderate. I really started getting excited when I could see that Cruz (my senator) was making waves and was unafraid to pay the price for going against the GOPe powers that be. It looked like the stars were aligning and that we could once again dare to believe we’d be able to turn our nation back to the Constitutional republic our Framers intended.
And then this jackass appeared on the political stage. His conservative credentials were so new, the ink hadn’t even had time to dry on his certificate of conservative authenticity, and yet a good portion of the electorate I once considered sane and sober went nuts. I was so incredulous, I literally thought I was being punked!
So I repeat my realization from 2012; it’s not the candidate that’s the problem — it’s the electorate. And to my great distress, I have discovered that it’s not confined to the left side of the aisle.
I highly recommend this Steyn piece: The Math and the Map ... Mark Steyn on why we might be doomed no matter how the primary plays out. The bottom line is that the culture and schools are far more devastating to the Republican electorate than the illegal invaders are.
