I’m going to save this post.

And use it later to laugh in your face.

[plewis1250]

Thank you.

[XenaLee]

You can’t yell “fire!” in a crowded theater.

Trump can!

[Windflier]

What an outstanding exchange. Thank you both.

This is the sort of understanding and linking of arms we so desperately need at this time. The establishment nearly split us asunder, but couldn’t, due to our collective intelligence and underlying bonds of strength.

Well done. On to victory!

[Windflier]

“I’m a hater, a trumpette, I want a dictator, I’m stupid, a cultist, and the candidate I prefer has violent rhetoric which (boo hoo, he’s so mean to those Islamists and illegals) has caused the left to be violent and hatefilled, not to mention my candidate is laughing all the way to the bank.”

And those are your better qualities.. LOL

I tell you, it still amazes me how much flak we normal folks have to deal with, for merely wishing to protect and maintain the simple organizing principles and traditions that have made this the greatest country in all of human history.

The degree and volume of flak we take is an indicator of how insane and off the rails our opposition really is. We and Trump have a lot of work ahead, to bring it back into balance.

[Lakeshark]

PTL is right.

FYI, Mike and I (hahaha, in joke that Mk can relay to you) have been pretty good friends since 2012.

We buried that way too bloody hatchet long ago and discovered we agreed on at least 90% of various important things about life .

It was a nice discovery to find we agreed about Trump this time, we even agreed about Cruz as a good second until not so long ago.

I think it can be said that we also agree on how we see Cruz after the last couple of weeks......

May he be far from us............:-)

[Lakeshark]

And those are your better qualities..

So true, so much flak I’m starting to feel like I’m in a Roadrunner cartoon.

[Windflier]

“So true, so much flak I’m starting to feel like I’m in a Roadrunner cartoon.”

At least you’ve kept your sense of humor about it. Funny how winning helps one to do that.

[Nextrush]

The nicest thing I can say about this is that Ted Cruz is a pawn and is allowing himself to be used by the GOPe who still remain hell bent on promoting Kasich and Rubio and above all destroying Trump by all means.

The right thing to do was for the GOPe candidates to have pulled out in the last week and thrown their support to Ted Cruz.

I did not see that happen. They are not supporting Cruz still holding on to their campaigns and trying to get delegates to split things up so they can win at a brokered convention.

Ted Cruz read from the ‘blame Trump’ script on Friday night, a little less than the others, but still he read from the GOP Establishment’s script.

I have sent Ted hundreds of dollars in the last year.

I am disappointed tonight, but I will move forward and I will have my chance to vote here in PA on April 26th.....

We and Trump have a lot of work ahead, to bring it back into balance.

That's the thing we all need to realize.

Trump wins the Republican nomination, Trump wins the presidency, the fight really begins.

The UNIPARTY will fight him every step of the way, he'll have to keep bringing his message to the people much as Reagan did.

As the old farmer said, this will be a long row to hoe.

[Lakeshark]

Best primary vote ever. I didn't vote in primaries until after Reagan's third term, and this is the vote I feel most confidence about. That he won our state was awesome, I am hoping for him to take Ohio, which is just to our South this week.

I have good friends that voted for Cruz, and some good friends that voted for Carson. I had private conversations with them before the vote, explaining the case for Trump, and they all received it well. They all said he had become their second choice, and they now enthusiastically push their friends groups for him.

Winning one is good, now let's finish this thing and go all the way!

Bless you for this valuable ping!

Ted Cruz Loses Prominent Support After Siding With Violent Leftists Over Donald Trump

The FR caucus for the last 2 nights bears out this observation. Cruz seems to have lost about 5% or thereabouts as a result of his shameful, lukewarm, lawyer-esque condemnation of organized leftist thuggery which should have been fiercely rebuked buy the entire GOP field of candidates.

Instead, each of the 3 trailing candidates seized on the crime to instead take a cheap political shot at Donald Trump.

Instead of acting like statesmen and showing leadership, all three were exposed as naked opportunists.

Oh, well, they will live and learn. And lose...

Good Morning & Good Night... (as we used to say in radio when we signed off at Midnight)

As my pal 'Sharky already said above, we put aside any differences we once had, and discovered we had far more in common and needed to focus on the threats to our Nation, neither one of us are perfect conservatives (is there such a creature?) but like Robin Williams said in 'Popeye', "I'm not a lawyer, but I know what law suits me", and I think I can speak for my FRiend when I say that there was no moment of jubilation or celebration when Ted Cruz revealed himself for who and what he is, like 'Sharky I had supported Cruz first long before Trump entered the race and it was a disappointment to see someone with so much potential begin to crash and burn, and we should make no mistake, the crash and burn IS taking place, unfortunately like a slow motion train wreck.

For me, when Glenn Beck became part of the Cruz campaign operation, that was a major red flag. Beck's antics are totally unhinged, and Cruz' failure to condemn those antics reflected massive bad judgment as I see it.

Then came the Bush crowd, and inviting them into his campaign was like a lumber yard placing an order for a colony of termites. It's been all downhill ever since.

Cruz and his supporters have always been eager to invoke Scripture, although I doubt they considered that Cruz himself would fulfill Matthew 7:27, "...and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it."

WOW! Miracles happen!

My longtime bestie Sharkey and my pal MKJ are FRiends on the same side!! PTL, right dearest xzins?

I hadn't seen Jim's post either, so I'm pinging some dear pals from our Sunday Show thread that was invaded this morning by a nauseating poster who tried "its" irritating best to turn it into an idiot "off topic debate."

I am so happy Donald Trump has the best of the best endorsing him ... Senator Sessions, Dr.Ben Carson, Phyliss Schafly and the long list goes on here.

God bless and keep Mr. Trump SAFE and all of his loyal supporters. May we grow in YUGE numbers!

[mkjessup]

Thank you for your kind words FRiend, they are appreciated and you are 100 percent right about ‘linking arms’. ;)

[Luircin]

You Trump supporters are just entertaining yourselves making enemies at this point.

***

Oh PLEASE.

You were the ones who started this war. I remember clearly getting called a dupe, a chump, a crypto-liberal, and a cultist, months before I had an unkind word to say about anyone.

I’m not making enemies out of anyone; you already pretty much declared how much you loathe us months ago. I am doing nothing more than responding in kind.

And now you’re self-righteously whining about how mean we are? Pfft.

You made your own bed; lie in it.

[SmokingJoe]

I will never vote for con man charlatan Donald Trump. Period.

[flaglady47]

“Yeah..so much so that he totally destroyed Trump in Wyoming yesterday. Chortle!”

You are one self delusional man, I must say. Repeat after me, President Trump. Keep practicing saying it, as you eat your Cruz crow. Your candidate is dead meat.

[flaglady47]

“Instead, each of the 3 trailing candidates seized on the crime to instead take a cheap political shot at Donald Trump.”

Glad you pointed out that it wasn’t only Cruz that took the cheap shot, it was Rubio and Kasich too. Fie on all three of them.
