““phony,” “hopeless,” “irredeemable” Texas senator”

I couldn’t have said it better.

I began supporting the guy but he’s such a disgusting and vile man that I couldn’t live with myself if I voted for him. It’s not that Trump is GREAT.. It’s just that Lying Ted is THAT BAD.


Trump told you to all that so like someone else told you, you parrot it.
Polly wanna Cracker...bwaaak

One example is when Cruz confronted Trump on his support for Hillary’s action in Libya and Trump told Cruz it wasn’t true when in fact it was.

Trump..Mitt Romney with the bullying

You’re part of the Trump tribe because you’re a fearful person without thinking skills, thus making you vulnerable to any movement, even a movement led by an emotionally retarded idiot. But merging into the tribe tamps down the fear a bit.

You never supported Cruz because it requires a brain to understand arguments regarding constitutional principles and the proper role of the federal government.

You don’t really believe that, you just hate Trump. We get it. Vote for Cruz in the general election then.....oh wait Cruz won’t be the nominee so you can’t.

The media loved it when Trump was “going after” Republicans, and they lovingly amplified his attacks. Just wait until he “goes after” their sacred cow, Hillary. You will see the greatest cacophony of anti-Trump howling since Hurricane Sandy blew through NYC. Now matter what “language” he speaks, it will be drowned out.


If they thought it was bad when Trump was running in the primary, just wait till the general. And, as we have seen thus far, Trump reacts very negatively to any criticism.

So does she. The difference is she has a sympathetic media on her side.

His supporters believe he’ll make mincemeat out of her in the general by telling the electorate how crooked she is. The general public already is aware of that and he’s not a great messenger to bring that up as he’s donated to her campaigns. It’s similar to the effect of Romney trying to run against ObamaCare being he was the blueprint for it in Mass.

You’re right. Cruz is not going to be the nominee.

But that isn’t going to stop those of us who are conservative from being critical of the biggest RINO to get the nomination since I’ve been alive

You will not destroy “cankles” by being more liberal and more liberal.

A great many on FreeRepublic seem to have been overcome with the idea if you run candidates as liberal as Hillary and the Dems, then you can beat them.

What do you have after it is over? A super liberal person in government.

“It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

“government of the people, by the people, for the people” has already perished.

If electing a conservative was the objective, then we all on FR should have worked harder to get a conservative nominated. Instead, we divided ourselves between support for a NY populist and an immature lawyer who intellectually collapsed half-way through the campaign process.

So we're stuck with the NY populist. We have to play the hand we've dealt ourselves.

So tell me:
What does Trump believe with regard to the proper role of federal government?

Or you can chose the option of being honest and admit you don’t really care; that you’re rooting for the freak because you feel vindication when he insults someone who once hurt your feelings.

“A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.

I do not believe I have proposed anything that is contrary to what has been considered Republican principle. It is at the same time the very basis of conservatism. It is time to reassert that principle and raise it to full view. And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way.”

From Reagan’s CPAC speech 1975

King voted for Ohio Gov. John Kasich in New York’s primary

Peter King is a classic NE liberal republicrat.

“Well, I guess we’ve been told, haven’t we”

Checked out this guys posting history. In any debate on Trump its just a litany of childlike abuse-

“Supporting this LOSER. I began supporting the guy but he’s such a disgusting and vile man that I couldn’t live with myself if I voted for him. It’s not that Trump is GREAT.. It’s just that Lying Ted is THAT BAD.”

“They mean hopeless, classless, whining, creepy, and Lying Ted Cruz.”

Only one thing really to say about the behaviour of Trump supporters. Makes me even more sure that I’m right about what he is. A politically clueless NY liberal who will say and do anything to win, including smear and belittle a good man like Ted Cruz and his wife Heidi.

I can’t ever support Trump after witnessing what he has done to Cruz, the one man who was capable of the task of rebuilding the Constitutional Republic.

In fact, it turned out to be a political win for Obama.

Win for Obama? Not that it did a lot of good, but the GOP in 2014 won the largest number of congressional seats since reconstruction.
