Apparently Trump has pretty much succeeded in destroying the conservative movement by pretending to be one. We here on Free Republic now all HATE Levin, Rush, Daivd, Sowell, Townhall, and just about everyone else that we used to go to for conservative analysis on political issues.

We now blindy follow Trump. Whatever Trump says today is the new conservative mantra, be it letting all the deported illegal aliens back in after spending 8 billion dollars on the great wall, or touting all the great things that Planned Parenthood does, other than murdering a half million babies every year. Whatever Trump says is now the conservative mantra of the day. If he reverses course tomorrow, then that is the new conservative mantra.

Trump is the only candidate in history to have contributed to his likely opponent’s campaigns. Inconsistency is his mantra and it has now become the mantra of his blind followers.

Republicans destroyed the conservative movement. Exhibit A would be the degenerate groveling Boehner.

“Apparently Trump has pretty much succeeded in destroying the conservative movement”

The conservative movement, as it is now, has done nothing more than make a few big shots rich off of complaining, while we couldn’t even beat a dullard like McCain.

Can you name the biggest conservative victories in the past 18 years?

Didn’t think so.

Can you name a number of high-profile conservative celebrities in the same time frame?

Yup.....that many.

“We here on Free Republic now all HATE Levin, Rush, Daivd, Sowell, Townhall, and just about everyone else that we used to go to for conservative analysis on political issues.”

keywords: ((((((conservative analysis)))))

Not actual wins. Not actual action, just TALKING ALL DAMN DAY.

And in the end of the day, they kick back at their nice paid-off home counting their money while we sit here lamenting the lack of progress.

People are SICK of this scam.

Can’t lay that on Trump. They have done this over the last ten years.

No, you have it backwards. The blinders have fallen off. We vote for Trump, however imperfect, because the nascent movement have very few leaders.

Matthew 7:3-5New International Version (NIV)

3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Yeah, and it’s reminiscent of the way the American Communist Party in 1939-1941 suddenly went from anti-Hitler to pro-Hitler, then back to anti-Hitler — all based on orders from Stalin’s Comintern in Moscow.

Or to mix metaphors, sorta like the way lemmings follow a Pied Piper, when he leads them out of Hamlin and orders them to drink Kool-Aid.

Anyway, Mr. Trump can do no wrong. Move along. Nothing to see here.

The Trump movement is not a conservative movement. It is an anti-DC, anti-GOPestablishment, anti-More-of-the-same-politics-as-usual.

It comes from those who voted the Republicans a majority in the House in 2010 -- that the Republicans continue to squander on a daily basis.

It comes from those who voted the Republicans a majority in the Senate in 2014 -- that the Republicans continue to squander on a daily basis.

When you vote in Republicans and they turn to jelly as soon as they cross the Potomac, what else can you do? Voting for more staunch Republicans doesn't seem to work. Look at the campaign at the last debate when Cruz and Rubio seemed to join forces against Trump. See the problem there? Two sitting senators join forces to go aginast the non-politician. That is the same as what the GOPestablishment continues to do to conservatives.

Recall what this is the definition of? Voting for the same and expecting a different result.

No one blindly follows Trump here.

No one.

We understand his flaws, but unlike others realize the flaws are far outweighed by the positives.

Others are equally flawed, with different strengths and weaknesses. I like Trump and Cruz for very different reasons. I dislike them both for very different reasons.

All in all, Trump is our best candidate, I'm sorry you disagree, but your candidate is not so pure as you think, nor without huge flaws. I just happen to think Trump is the best candidate and would make the best president in this perilous time. There are good reasons for that decision, but way too many Cruz supporters simply hate that. For mostly irrational reasons.

If you think this is about Trump then you are stupider than you look.
