I signed on when I became 21, in 1963.

I've voted 100% Republican.

IT'S MY PARTY TOO, LINDSEY

There’s alot of us who are worried about a Trump presidency that want to be proven wrong. Because if we turn out to be right, the results will be disastrous

I know a lot of Trumpers hate Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh and even Ronald Reagan because the first two see Ted Cruz as like the third.
All three above believe/believed that traditional constitutional conservatism is the only ideology that will, as Ronald Reagan ORIGINALLY said, “Lets Make America Great Again!”
Cruz is everything Duh Donald falsely CLAIMS to be and Trump’s Hollywood honed demagoguery has way too many bamboozled.But as time goes by and Trump’s liberal Democrat record catches up with him to finally convince even the most benighted Trump toadies that their god is a fraud, Ted will be there to end the Leftist American nightmare.
God bless Texans, Okies and Mushers.

....... our country is made up of “We, the people” not “We, the party”.....

Nails it.

Trump/s Super Tuesday wins surpassed voter turnouts obtained by newcomer Obama.

Obama was lauded by his party; Trump gets shot down by His party.

In uber-liberal Massachusetts, 18,000 Democrats switched parties to vote for Trump.

========================================

Lindsey oughta consider....what the Trump voters might do, if he makes one move against Trump....

Not to mention what Trump might do.

OK Lindsey. That treatment about holding your nose was so condescending I might have to vote for Trump instead of Cruz

A handshake with Rubio vs a hundred thousand dollars to Hillary Clinton.

Don’t see a problem deciding there

Actually it is you that is the clown. Cruz beats Trump head to head in every way possible. Trump has only a top of 35% of the voters and will not win against Hillary. Hell, Trump is a bigger criminal than Hillary and there is no way I nor anyone I know who will vote for Trump under any circumstance. He would get smashed by Hillary or Sanders or Biden or Joe the Bartender or anyone else. Trump is about to be dumped. “ Dump Trump “ is the slogan you will start to see.

Oh the crying and wailing of the Trumpsters will be for the history books.

In fact, as it’s all but certain he’ll be the nominee, he’s already starting his authoritarian, leftward drift.

It’s gonna be interesting to see Hillary and her donor duke it out

Between Lindsey and King, we have a perfect picture of why we keep losing - their statements make me even more pro-Trump than ever because he scares the GOPe more than anyone else out there and they’re not hiding it. Too bad so many think like King and Graham do - protect the GOPe at all costs so they have a perpetual number of reasons to wine and snivel while refusing to do that which is in front of them to start to effect some positive changes.

I for one fear just the opposite. I just don’t trust Cruz, but want to. I pray that whoever the nominee is that it isn’t from a brokered convention and that they honor their words.

Add in the voting record on Coker and TPA. Hillary or any other who bows to globalism destroys a sovereign nation. Trump speaks America first.

Cruz has some votes he’ll have to answer for I’ll grant you that.

Pales in comparison to the Don’s leftist history. Praise for Planned Parenthood, support for Universal healthcare, weak on immigration then tough on illegal immigration now it’s “negotiable,” donations to Reid, Hillary, Schumer, loves the mandate, wants to sue newspapers that right negative things about him, once backed assault weapons ban, swithed parties more often than I change underwear, uses leftist talking points on health care, 9/11, Iraq..

The list goes on and on. Yet you trust him more than Cruz because of a few votes???

LMAO!!!!

Oh, almost forgot.

Supported the bank bailouts, Obama stimulus, and praised the work BHO has done until he decided to run in the GOP primary.

But you’re right. If Trump is the nominee, the GOP better honor it. But us conservatives are not under obligation to vote for him

No one is obligated to like or vote for anyone— yet. The Hillary administration may require it someday, but today we can choose.

As for the GOP, I don’t expect anything from them and haven’t since being lied to for the countless time after 2014. They will do whatever it takes to keep the uniparty intact.

I won’t rehash all the other things that make me a non Cruz supporter you already know them and the reciting of the character flaws of either candidates changes no ones mind. It just creates anger between freepers.

He is trying to save HIS WING of the party, the wing that FAILED us and out country. Shame on my friends here in SC that voted for this A$$hat...there was a clear conservative choice. Laziness to understand, complacency? Whatever, shame!

I’m not telling you to not vote for Trump or vote for Cruz.

But if people are, they need to be more grounded. Too many here have molded him into their perfect conservative candidate when his record says he is in no way shape or form a limited government, constitutional conservative.

“I thought our country was made up of “We, the people” not “We, the party”.....”

Every attack on Trump is a Middle Finger in the face of We the People.

It’s blatent, naked hatred for American Citizens.

Too true! It's exactly why they'll never get why Trump is as popular as he is!

BTW, I swiped that :-)
