Actually Drumph’s Great Grandfather changed his name in the 1880’s but there is no record of being changed legally..

If you aren’t a conservative and you don’t want to elect a conservative why the hell are you on this website?

So Roberts duped Cruz? Roberts duped almost everybody on the right. Who’s being dishonest now?

I see you didn’t even bother to try and answer my question.

Just what is there going to be left to “conserve” when we’re done holding our nose every election and voting for whatever so-called “conservative” champion that is foisted upon us?

Thank you. I got a few people who weren’t appreciative.

THAT’S an understatement... o.o

Of course I’ll vote for Cruz if he’s nominated. My first goal is to keep Bernie out of the White House.

Hopefully others share that objective.

“Yes, Rubio is a total sleaze. If he were the nominee, I would have a very very hard time pulling the lever at all. Trump, I have less hesitation against Bernie or The Felon, but I realize it’s still a gamble. Rubio is scum. Jeb just doesn’t even deserve my vote.”

We’re pretty close here. Only difference is that, given the fact that Rubio is an OUTRIGHT LIAR when he runs for office, I have more respect for Bush - at least he’s trying to be honest.

we need someone that will GET THINGS DONE, even if it gets a bit ugly at times.

That is a very dangerous attitude. It sounds like "to hell with principles, let's get the trains running on time." It is the very same outlook that got Obama elected. People saw in him what they wanted to see.

“That is a very dangerous attitude.”

Unfortunately we are simply OUT OF TIME for nicities. Either we turn this ship around, AND QUICKLY, or it’s over.

Having another Republican president that lets his enemies PARALYZE him just won’t do it.

Won't matter, at least not this time...we need someone that will GET THINGS DONE, even if it gets a bit ugly at times.

Well, if conservative principles don't matter, then why don't you vote for Hillary or Sanders? I'm sure they are going to get *things* done...

If all you care about is getting *things* done, and to h*ll with conservative principles, then what are you even doing on this site?

How about we STOP putting words in people’s mouths?

Unless you can point to SPECIFIC liberal causes that I’ve supported.

Face it, you won’t get Rubio/Jeb into office.

Where did I put words in your mouth? In response to the article about conservative principles, you said “won’t matter”
