Congratulations to our presumptive nominee, Donald Trump!
Great job in New York and throughout this campaign. Cruz and Kasich are now mathematically eliminated and just like all the others who were mathematically eliminated should concede and drop out so we can all unite behind our nominee and prepare to defeat the godless America-hating traitor Hillary Clinton in November.
As conservatives and patriots, it's time to put bruised egos behind us, heal our differences and act united in the best interests of our nation. The media and the GOPe will try to keep us divided, of course, but we must not fall for their treasonous tricks.
A divided Republican party will ensure Hillary waltzes into the White House in November.
Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction. Hillary would be a third term for Obama and would complete his mission of completely destroying America.
Do not let freedom expire on our watch!!
I'm praying this forum and our loyal members will now be shifting into high gear to defend our freedom by uniting against the treasonous enemy within.
Let's get Trump over the 1237 mark and finally take the GOPe completely out of the picture!!
Then onward to the presidency in November!!
You leave out the important parts, the Soviets wanted to secure their borders from their citizens escaping the madness that is Socialism/Communism, we want to secure our borders from criminals/ terrorist entering. Or do you lump Conservatives in with open borders crowd because all the Conservative people I know want a wall on the border and want it patrolled and the madness of illegal immigration cuerailed before we lose our country.
Of course, the difference between Trump and his supporters is that when he does it, it's a savvy, albeit immoral, tactic. When his supporters do it, it's ignorant acceptance of everything lyin' Donald says.
Trump's supporters choose to really believe him. So it's intelligent dishonesty by Trump and ignorant honesty from his supporters. And by such means have so many disreputable men come to power.
Do you really want us to unite with Bill Kristol types? That means we must submit to them. No, we unify against all ruling elites.
Guys like Speaker Bone-head are a greater challenge than our obvious political opponents. The fifth columnists of the GOP are the reason we are divided to begin with.

GOPe is a legitimate honest term. There is the GOP and then there is the corrupt self-serving leadership that is part of the Uni-Party in DC that opposes the People.
The ones who attack the Tea Party and work with the Democrats to harm conservatives (Cochran debacle for example) are the Establishment. Democrats In All But Label Only aka DIABLO.
Hoodat = idiot.
The proof that this was an illegitimate usage is that for the first half of the campaign, Donald's talking point against Cruz was that the whole GOP hated him and he couldn't get along. Now we're supposed to believe that Cruz is part of the establishment, even though the establishment hates him?
I know it's asking a lot of Trump supporters to use their brains, but think on this: every time a Cruz supporter, like me, sees a sophomoric (the "Pee" sound at the end is not unintentional) made-up term used by Trump supporters to insult Cruz and his supporters, that makes us feel anger towards you and Trump, and creates disunity, not the unity Jim Robinson claimed to be asking for.
Makes perfect sense, and should have been explained this rationally.
Baloney. Trump's immature behavior and despicable tactics of personal destruction are the primary dividers. To a much lesser degree, we are divided on priorities and policy issues.
By that, I mean, Trump and Cruz voters have different priorities as to what they value most in a candidate. And that Trump and Cruz have some small, but significant to many, policy differences.
Now in the past, Republicans have, for the most part, come together to rally around the nominee even when it wasn't an individual voters first choice. This time it won't happen, because when Trump was doling out his vicious insults, supporters of the insulted candidates took it personally. Others may not take it personally, but simply refuse to vote for a person with that glaring a character flaw.
It's like on the TV show Survivor... there you have to eliminate your opponents in such a way that you can still get their vote when they are on the jury. Here the only difference is that you have to get their supporters votes, which may be even harder. Trump has failed miserably in that department.
I can see your reasoning and won’t disagree with it completely. About the only thing I can say that there is a big difference to me between “Trump having the nomination stolen from him” in maneuvering to get a 2,3, 4th round win and Ted’s mathematical elimination from a 1st ballot win.
If it walks like a duck... One need only look at who is running, funding and helping Cruz now, Its the Who’s who of the GOP Establishment.
And anybody who does not support Trump fall into at least 4 groups it seems.
1. Enemies of America including Foreign, US Globalists/Dems, Media, etc.
2. Gravy Train riders afraid of Trump stopping their ride.
3. Emotionally invested who place Cruz on a Pedestal.
4. Lo-information voters who get their information from the 6 corporation media (see 1 above) and do not know what is going on.
A decent explanation with supporting facts on what the Establishment is and where Cruz fits into it.

As far as using brains, Not a one of the Cruz supporters can tells us how Cruz can win the General when he could not win the swing states and will have a fractured base from a contested convention.
Now, When you have much smarter and better conservatives than you supporting Trump over Cruz, such as Jeff Sessions, Palin, Sheriff Joe, This sites Owner, etc; and the side you are on is allied with America’s enemies, it looks idiotic to be claiming we are the ones not using our brains.
Because this forum is about fighting the GOPe and the Democrats. Cruz now is doing the bidding of both. And you refuse to see that.
Interesting! Is that why so many people I’ve never heard of have sign in dates of 1998? That date always makes me wary.
Actually I don’t see how changing your sign-up date is possible. I know mine is very real and genuine.
What I think is happening is that there are those who signed up then who just aren’t as active as some of us and that this primary season has turned out to be one of historical significance and importance that draws them back in.

That's so NOT a good thing.
Thank you, Mr. Robinson. Well said.
That doesn't make Cruz one of them. He should refuse their help? Trump wouldn't. In fact, Trump just hired a GOP Establishment guy to help him in the delegate fight, and is hiring more establishment types daily, by the sound of it.
"And anybody who does not support Trump fall into at least 4 groups it seems."
Wow. That's a really offensive opinion. And I know lots of people who don't support Trump and don't fall into those 4 groups.
Here's a few groups that some of them fit into:
5. People who think that an immature jerk who reflexively tries to destroy the reputation and career of even people who mostly agree with him, should never be given power.
6. People who think that a man whose political positions were starkly different until recently can't be trusted.
7. People who think that a man who has shown incredible naivete about world affairs ("Bush lied", we should deal with the Palestinians, etc.) should not be Commander in Chief.
8. People who think a man who achieved real estate success in large part by currying favor and by intimidation and corrupt dealing would ADD to the problem in Washington, not subtract from it.
"Not a one of the Cruz supporters can tells us how Cruz can win the General"
This particular Cruz supporter believes Trump has already destroyed Cruz's chance of winning the General. That "Lyin' Cruz" lie was very effective. But I believe Trump's repulsive invective has also guaranteed that HE cannot win the General. Trump has already guaranteed a Republican loss in November by dividing the party with hateful rhetoric.
"When you have much smarter and better conservatives than you supporting Trump over Cruz, such as Jeff Sessions, Palin, Sheriff Joe, This sites Owner"
I've never seen any evidence that any of the people you mention are smarter than me. And of course, you define smarter and better conservatives as those who support Trump.
I could easily post a list of people whom I could claim are smarter and better conservatives than you, but here's another difference between me and most Trump supporters on this site: I don't follow the Trump doctrine of escalating personal attacks.
