Never use the word "you" in a reply.

Also, avoid the proper name, “Trump.”

Seems that lately, using the words Cruz and Trump can get some play too

I just don’t see the difference between Cruz or Hillary anymore

Once he sided with BLM it was over for me. Even though I supported Trump at the time, I always stated that I would vote for Cruz if he was the nominee.

I hate using the War on Women again our own, that is liberal BS and Cruz uses it against Trump

I hate bringing spouses into it either, and Cruz just had to use pictures of Trump’s wife in Utah, why? He was going to win Utah anyways, it was a dumb move, or smart move to set up Trump for his NE problems.

Anytime Cruz steps into something, he blames Trump, that is not a conservative virtue for the so-called “consistent conservative”

OK, so I will modify one of my standard responses:

After Donald J. Trump finishes doing all the things he has promised: build the wall, deport illegals and Syrian invaders, cancel Obama’s unconstitutional executive orders, roll back twenty years of intrusive government regulations, prosecute Hillary and her crew, release the secret 28 pages from the 9/11 report, negotiate prescription drug purchases, repeal and replace Obamacare, simplify the Tax code, repatriate $2.5 trillion in off-shore profits, stop the IRS from abridging the free speech of Christian Churches, reform the libel laws to remove the “public figure” distinctions, defund Planned Parenthood until the stop doing abortions, cleaning up the mess that is the VA, cutting waste, fraud and abuse where ever it is found, canceling Common Core and returning control of education to the States, end the assault on the Second Amendment, audit the Federal Reserve System, investigate the harmful additives in Vaccines and the coverup of studies at the CDC, and destroy the culture of Political Correctness, then we can talk about all the other issues that need to be addressed.

How is that?

IMHO, simply realize that the real enemy are the progressive libs and democrats in November.

Then despite who our “best” candidate is, and whatever weaknesses and mistakes the other GOP candidates have made, make the determination to support the GOP nominee against the enemy in November.

Not stay home.
Not throw down ones toys.
Not point fingers.
Not op out.

That is what I intend to do.

I support Cruz, but have absolutely no problem, if Donald Trump wins the nomination (and it surely looks like he will), supporting him 100% against Hillary or Bernie.

Ewe got to be kidding right?

Nobody in their right mind is voting for #&^%)(*#&%*

What kind of conservative are ewe? Ewe’re barely an American. Ewe might even be Canadian with New York values.

Ewe’re right Jim, this works.

I hate the flamewars. I’ve had a couple Freeper women accuse me of all kinds of stuff without knowing a thing about me. I Believe that’s very unFReeperly.

Are you referring to the wonderful [insert name of whichever candidate that I like] or that slimy, no good piece of filth that you like?

It’s also helpful to avoiding using terms like delusional,stupid and liar when addressing other posters.
