I refer you to post 86. I was really polite to the scad of FReepers who fell for Arnold Schwarzenegger in California. No amount of data would persuade them, because they were motivated by desperation and fear with paid cheerleaders leading the charge. What did it get them? More debt, conservatives leaving the State, and more regulatory despotism. My beloved California died and won't come back.

Is that what you want for the last best hope on earth?

"He may not be a conservative, but he can win!" is winning the day, again. We got Bush that way. We got McCain and Romney that way. Trump is even worse.

So, I don't care if they like me anymore. If you can't recall my posting history here, the books I've written, and the articles I've posted here first that still get hundreds of thousands of reads every year, then that's not on me. The situation is desperate and FReepers still don't get it: THE CANDIDATE THAT WILL TAKE THE LEAD IS THE ONE CONSERVATIVES SAY WE WANT. FReepers are that influential in the scuttlebutt of conservative public discourse. Arnold Shwarzenegger won at FreeRepublic.com. "He can win!" is up to us. If we act out of fear and desperation, we will get what we deserve, good and hard. If it takes a slap upside the head, so be it. Time is short. I pass judgment on their policies according to their published content. I criticize or praise them all for what they deserve, Cruz included.

Oh please.

I recall your nastiness and condescending attitude, and it overshadows your good works. You're your own enemy. It's sad, it doesn't have to be that way.

I was in California at the time and what happened to McClintock is exactly what you are fomenting against Trump now.

Care to list the Cruz complaints that have?

I know Trump is for Big Ethanol [trying to win Iowa] and prior to Pier 14 he was a little soft on immigration ...

[He took that one to heart and immediately hardened on immigration.]

But other than those two things, what has he said during this primary that makes him a non-conservative?

Arnold was married to a Kennedy. I would never trust him based on that.
