Actually, it really is a rebellion
February 10, 2016 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 02/10/2016 11:44:39 AM PST by Jim Robinson

As much as I love Cruz as a conservative, there really is a voter rebellion underway and it may be unstoppable. Despite all the denials, the simple truth is the voters really are fed-up and really are up in arms against the establishment.

Trump's message is exactly what the voters are looking for:

Build the wall, enforce the law, deport them all, slap a moratorium on Muslim immigration, bomb the hell out of ISIS, cut the taxes, cut the spending, cut the regulations, cut the government, cut the bad trade deals, cut the political correctness crap, bring back capital, bring back manufacturing, bring back jobs, get the economy back on track, rebuild the military so no one messes with us and make America great again!

It's a winning message.

The rallies are real.

The pent up anger is real.

The rebellion is real!

GOPe RINOs Bush, Rubio, Kasich, et al, stand no chance whatsoever.

We still have hope for conservative Cruz to pull it out, but this is Trump's Rebellion to lose.

Go, Cruz, GO!!

Go, Trump, GO!!

Either way, we win, they lose.

Thanks Jim, for this message.

As a longtime Freeper (albeit mostly a lurker nowadays), I have been very disheartened by the animosity between many pro-Cruz and pro-Trump posters. We should be better than that. We all have a common enemy.

I am a Cruz supporter, as I feel he would be the better and most consistently conservative President. But I admit openly that I have enjoyed watching Trump tear into the media and the Dems with relish and outspokenness and anti-PC rhetoric. I could gladly vote for him were he the nominee.

We are all on the same side. Let's try and remember that.

Cruz is learning but he is not as strong as a candidate as he will be in the future.

You said it yourself Jim:

"Don't look now, but while our best conservative is running a political campaign, Trump is leading a rebellion. Not as a liberal or a conservative politician, but as a successful red-blooded, can-do American capitalist."

If the borders are not brought under control, we won't have a Nation left. Trump is the one on record to build that wall, deport the illegals, AND yes: allow them to RE-apply for entry LEGALLY and play by the rules.

We are not only a nation of laws, we are (or should be) a nation of enforceable borders.

Donald Trump is an egotistical, vulgar bully. He is not a conservative. Yet he has tapped into the American angst and is willing to rub the noses of the elite and establishment types in to their collective politically correct feces. If the nominee is not going to be Cruz, Trump is worthy of support at least to make America's royalty uncomfortable.

Cruz cannot be trusted considering:
- Recent support of TPA
- Corker’s Iranian Nukes
- Amnesty
- His dubious dishonesty of GoldmanSachs, CitiBank “loans”
- Nixonian dirty tricks in Iowa

...and his weak, p***y “innerness” to stand up to evil (i.e. afraid to state water boarding or worse should be used on the evil of islam)

Thanks, Jim. Great, timely post.

I hope whichever of the two is the nominee the FR crowd will join up and fly wing.

There is too much at stake. We need our Constitutional Republic back.

People are looking to cast off 8-15 years of uncertainty and tone-deaf politicians

More like 28 years. Of lying, corrupted leftists, and that includes republicans.

I hope they kiss and make up. With Trump’s chutzpah and Cruz’s know-how, they could together change the world.

I believe they are in this together, kind of like a theatrics tag team. Things are not always as they appear. As the primary season moves on we may see signs of this.

The painting of Cruz as some kind of slimeball is a bit off-putting though.

I agree. Reasons why I don't want Cruz for president are;

1. He's a lawyer, never ran a business, hasn't any experience in an administrator mode. Too many unknowns as to his abilities in that role.

2. His citizenship issue, even though he is natural born, will be harped on by the media and Democrat party endlessly if he got the nomination. A lie told over and over becomes truth to too many people. It will serve to detract from his message because of time and money spent defending his eligibility

3. We need soldiers in the Senate. Cruz, with an empowered Trump presidency, could become a true power broker and rebel in that chamber. He is very valuable in that role, or could be.

Yes we win with Trump, Cruz, or Trump/Cruz.

But unfortunately a lot of people are now burning bridges between the two camps. It is sad because sheep are falling prey to professional propagandists. And I mean on both sides.

I would like to see the same rebellion in Oregon. And then California and Washington.

Conservatives are going to stop being conservative? Well, perhaps some professional conservative phonies, er, pundits will quit, but not real conservatives.

A couple of positives,

Cruz could end up as VP for eight years then President for eight years,

Trump CAN outright shut down select out of control alphabet agencies, seize their records, and appoint special prosecutors. It's a hard way to fix things, but Constitutional.

[[His message is a populist one which claims to be “winning” (similar to a Charlie Sheen rant) but lack substance]]

Sadly, it appears the country isn’t interested in substance, just ear tickling platitudes that superficially sound tough
