How Republicans Can Win Back Conservatives - Passing the emotional purity test

I want a fighter not a feeler. Couldn't careless if he feels my pain. I want a Patton. I want a dirty street fighter, not some mealy mouthed scared of his shadow whiny frat boy.

There is only one way to win conservatives back, and that is do what they were voted in to do, and do it before the 2016 Presidential election. Since they won’t, there is no winning conservatives back!

“But what people want is candidates who pass the emotional purity test.”

No we don’t. We want someone who can’t be bought. period.

Trump is the only one that fills that bill because he doesn’t have to solicit campaign “contributions”, subsequently providing the requisite quid pro quo.

[Lopeover]

In addition:

“There is NOTHING more conservative than stopping a permanent democrat/marxist voting majority and doing whats best for the people and the country. By virtue of Mr.Trump’s position on illegal immigration he “Trumps” all others conservatism.”

[Secret Agent Man]

Sorry the way they currently are they cant pull the same old sh1t kabuki and “win” me back.

[BlackElk]

Ping for later.

Sorry, CW, how does this promote Walker?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Always with the negative vibes 867V309.

I thought this was a very interesting OpEd.

He IS soliciting campaign contributions, BOTH big and small, after mocking others for doing the same.

Exactly why I am supporting Trump. I was behind Cruz and sent him money, twice. But when he voted for TPA, I knew there was too much politician in him.

[Nextrush]

Perhaps Walker is planning to make some emotional speech to increase his popularity.

Nigel Farage of the United Kingdom Independence Party spoke to a sparse crowd at CPAC earlier this year and warned the Republican Party “don’t forget the Reagan Democrats” and sure enough they have and so we have Trump capturing the hearts and minds of the grassroots.

Working people are getting the short end of the stick with everything from Amnesty to Obamacare.

Accepting donations under the stated condition that no strings are attached is not the same thing as soliciting. Even so, lets keep track of where Trumps campaign finances come from. If we start seeing GE or the Teachers Association or other corrupt organizations, we'll know.

[hosepipe]

Easy peasy...... VOTE for Ted Cruz...

[kaehurowing]

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me once, shame on me.

Good God.

What kind of retard friggin’ moron wrote this damn sniveling crap?

I don’t think the GOP can win me back. I am utterly disgusted with them. I mean I loathe them beyond my ability to even describe.

I am not interested in any of their damn sissy little vagina boy candidates either.

Trump impresses.

That’s all I got to say on the subject.

[wastoute]

The next logical step the author fails to make is obvious. Trump may just be our last chance to let someone else fight for us. If this fails we will have to fight for ourselves and things will get very ugly.

[SmokingJoe]

Ummm... He is soliciting alright, through emails and such, having personally received one of them emails. And this was after he first of all said he would self finance, then he said he'd only take small contributions, then finally he is taking small AND big contributions. You can bandy with words all you want. It won't change facts.

[Godebert]

The republicans have been fooled in every election since Reagan held office. That’s more than once or twice and a whole lot of shame.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Glad you kept it unemotional.

You’ve precisely demonstrated the writer’s point.
