(R)Money mistakenly believes that this will HURT Trump?

The Elitist/Globalist class making a case against Trump can only HELP him.

I wouldn’t give Hannity the benefit of the doubt that he is simply a shallow thinker. If he didn’t know what was being done to us it’s because he chose to look the other way and PLAY dumb.

I wouldn’t even give that much leeway to Rush because I remember back in the Clinton days he would laugh at callers that tried to enlighten him about the globalists and he would poopoo “conspiracy theorys” and NEVER acknowledge that FreeRepublic even existed. Plus Rush is a more insightful thoughtful person and has had decades to figure it out.

But now we find out that both these guys were in the loop on this stuff all along so all that goes out the window. They’re both GUILTY of letting this happen and DOING NOTHING TO STOP IT!

If the SC wasn’t in play, I would say let ‘em die ... they deserve it. But the court needs a conservative justice. One more liberal on the bench and we can kiss all pro-life efforts goodbye along with the right to bear arms and some religious freedoms as well. Scary thought.

Can you say “BACKLASH”?

Conservatives, and in general, Americans, do not like to be told how to vote.

... 20 percent or more of regular Republican voters agree with him.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 2m2 minutes ago

Looks like two-time failed candidate Mitt Romney is going to be telling Republicans how to get elected. Not a good messenger!

Can I get Cruz supporters opinion on this?

Romney and the GOP Establishment are in full fledged panic mode. Their 2nd guy Rubio has tanked like their 1st pick Jeb. The two leaders in the delegate count are Anti-Establishment Trump & Cruz, but because he is in the lead Trump is taking the full force of the attack.

 

Is this how Cruz and his supporters want to win? 

 

Now I do not think these Romney attacks will amount to anything, it seems like the more you attack Trump the better his poll numbers go. But take a step back from the fact that Trump & Cruz are still fighting for a single position and as Connor MacLeod said “There can be only one.” At the current standings Trump or Cruz and not an establishment candidate will be the nominee.

Unless there is a brokered convention and if you support Cruz or Trump, neither of those two will be allowed to win.

 

 

Now, I support Trump, I like Cruz but I prefer Trump more. I understand the process of this nomination that eventually there will be name calling and mudslinging. But I do believe that deep down both guys respect each other. But we are winning! Look at the delegate and state win count. All the establishment and their millions can claim is a distant third in delegate count and Minnesota. I am not calling for Cruz to step down, he did well in keeping Texas, Trump is correct he fought hard and picked up a few states. But once this month is over and the winner takes all states start rolling in unless he catches up or passes one of these guys will have to step down or nobody will get to 1237 delegates and that means Rubio.


Just would like a honest Cruz supporters opinon.

Thanks

As they say, everyone has a price. Rush and Hannity has theirs. They’ve made millions off of playing their listeners for fools. I stopped listening years ago. Every now and then when I’m surfing going down the road I might stop on their show for no more than a minute. It doesn’t take me long to remember what they are before I change the channel.

And when my wife is in the truck they are never allowed on.

The guy is not a conservative in any shape way or form; yet all the liberal republicans hate him. We've never seen this before in my lifetime.

Ask yourself, "Why?"

If, and when you do, the answer will become quite clear to you. Here's a small hint. Donald Trump had no real need to do any of this, on a personal level. It isn't making him more money, and in fact, right now, is costing him money (although he is being quite frugal about his campaign spending.) So, why go through this?

Some here say that he is doing it to enable the election of Hillary Clinton, which is utter hogwash. If he wanted *that* particular outcome, the best way to have achieved it was to literally, do nothing, stay on the sidelines, not enter the race at all. The GOP establishment had concocted an ingenious plan to get Jeb Bush nominated, with only approximately 20% of the vote. Bush would have then been 'sacrificed' to the other party, just as McCain, and Romney were in 2008, and 2012, respectively.

But, what does Mr. Trump do? He enters the race, and before the first votes are even held, lays complete and total waste to the carefully crafted plan the GOP 'elite' had devised. They have not recovered *YET* from that debacle, thus the fear, loathing, and hate from that quarter. A year and a half of conspiring and planning to rig this election to a predetermined outcome totally trashed in 6 months.

Mr. Trump may, no, let's be honest here, is not, nor never has been what most folks here could rightfully call a conservative, but, at the end of the day, he *is* an unashamed American, and at heart, a patriot. I can live with that...

Mitt Romney:

I voted for him for Senate in 1994 against The Swimmer.
I voted for him for Governor in 2002 against Tats O’Brien.
I voted for him for POTUS in 2012 against Mandingo.

He was the lesser of the two evils then. But he’s not anymore.

F**k him and his magic underwear. What a whack job. He’s gone full Jim Jones.

This is my response: http://youtu.be/rvQPHGzVrlY At least the video is funny, Mittens is a joke that isn’t.

If I were Trump I would NOT respond to Romney’s speech, if asked I would say “Who’s Mitt Romney?”. “Oh him, who cares?”. That would be smart.

I totally agree. Treat him like a little kid and ignore him.

Then unleash Krispy Kreme Christie to attack.
