And there you have it. Reasoned debate and civil discourse, Trump-style.

Wow, what a hypocrite you are. Complain about lack of civility then launch a childish personal attack.

Clean up yourself before having the arrogance to lecture anyone else.

Seeee! It does help to denigrate someone like Prager. He finally comes around. :-)

True, and I sure hope that the presidency does not come down to voting for a communist or for someone our founders would call unqualified under NBC. neither will help me this country in the long run.

So your definition of a “patriot” is someone who sided with Harry Reid against a Tea Party candidate just a few years ago, who still holds liberal positions on issues like government control of health care, who has vacillated on his every position, appears to have no real ideological compass, and is telling you exactly what you want to hear?

Because he says so? And you want to bet the future of the Republic on the word of Donald Trump?

Nope. I’m not going along with that.

Soon as you use the term “fraud” I turn you off because of YOUR intolerance and close-mindedness

The irony here is hilarious. You open admit that you close your mind the moment someone uses a single word, without for one moment acknowledging the possibility... and then you call the opponent "intolerant". Are you sure that you're not a Liberal?

Hint: Trump is an opportunist, in the dictionary definition of the term. I'd bet that even he would accept that assessment. Opportunism means keeping your eye open for a good business deal, basically. Here, he sees the Battered Wife Syndrome that we Conservatives have, thanks to the GOP over the last 18 years, and he correctly surmises that he could ride that, along with the 'yuge' anti-establishment wave in both parties, into the most important chair on earth. That is too big to pass up... even if he isn't Conservative. By pretending to be, he can win eternal fame, and much more... but by pretending to be, that DOES qualify him for the title of "fraud". You can counter that he isn't faking, that he really and sincerely means what he says now, as opposed to 6 years ago... but that's purely conjecture, based on nothing but faith, because Trump has no actions to point to that can back up these current statements of Conservatism. It is not unfair to guess that he is lying any more than it is unfair to believe him... and yet you use it as an excuse to stop thinking altogether and not address his points. What does that say about you? Or Trump?

WRONG....CORRUPT RINOS WHO ARE SPINELESS AND REFUSE TO LIVE UP TO THEIR OATH OF OFFICE ARE RESPONSIBLE!

Oooh! All caps make you ever so much more credible. Just like Trump's debate style.

So, you define the problem as "RINOs" and your solution is to elect a RINO? Interesting.

Agree with most of what you said, but, I listen to Rush regularly and have never heard him say or intimate stepping away from Trump.

Totally agree...which is why I stay out, for the most part.

Trump's support, expanding every day, is not from irrational hatred, but from the very rational view that GOP left them a long time ago, represents crony-capitalism, incompetence and sell-outs and does nothing for the interests of we the people. So far, Trump is the only one to whom that charge does not apply at all.

Really? Your solution to your perceived problem of "crony capitalism" is to elect a crony capitalist? You thing the solution to insufficiently conservative Republicans is a guy who's not a conservative at all, and who espouses views on issues like government control of health care that virtually everyone on this forum opposed just a few short years ago? Who's the sell out? Rationalization is the second strongest human motivation, but if you examine the issue critically, you will realize that this is an election, not a temper tantrum. Choose wisely.

What I found most interesting about this article by Prager is that he spent several paragraphs describing how TRUMP supporters had sent him nasty/ f-bomb laced emails, and then AS PROOF, he lists an email from a CRUZ SUPPORTER.

Was that because he couldn't find any from TRUMP supporters that supported his argument ?

So because Establishment types have failed
that excuses Trump’s support of baby killing

Is a man who supported killing 50 million God Created American babies
75-80% on my side ?

Is a man who likes Planned Parenthood 75-80% on my side ?

Are Truthers like Hillary and Trump 75-80% on my side ?

Are Trump supporters who have been wishing for my death 75-80% on my side ?

No, it’s what passes for debate among Trump supporters.

Certainly is an interesting change from previous presidential election years-or two years as they’ve become-around here. Although Trump would seem to be toeing the conservative line now he has a past not altogether different from previous contenders who were not looked upon favorably here and who had many of their FR supporters summarily banished.

You are wrong and disrespectful to accuse me of belittling those who fought in WWII. My Grandfather fought in the Solomon islands. They were heroes fighting for America, and freedom. My point was that they were not concerned about the important but lower threat issues at the time because they were in battle. Once you win the big battle, you can work on fixing the other things. If there is no America, then there is nothing left to fix.

We are in battle again but America has already been invaded and defeated this time from the inside. We finally have a man, and alpha male, who is ready to fight and pull America from the trash heap. He has huge support across the spectrum. We have to win the big battles and establish an occupying force before we can start shutting down abortion and the other cultural rot. Trump is already teaching people how to fight again, Cruz and the others are just more career politicians who are not going to save us.

The irony of you posting your usual Hate Trump diatribes on a thread titled “Gratuitous Hatred is Destroying The Republicans (And FreeRepublic)” is pretty funny

Prager does not care if your daughter gets shot at the beach by illegals or gang raped at the mall of America by refugees. All that matters is that you get paid less per hour. That is his only “conservative” principle.

Intolerance is destroying the GOP

The gop is backstabbing group of liars.
They've done everything they can to slap their voters in the face.
Including me.

And now this boil on the ass of America-the romneycare guy who couldn't win when he got the nod is trying to steer this election with the soapbox the gope is giving him.

NOT THIS TIME
