lol
Got a couple of those today, didn’t we?
It begins or ends with Trumptards, TrumpChumps, Trumpees, etc.
But WE are the bad guys, ya know.
Remember libbylu? “Trumpees, here’s my opus!”.
He’s so special that he needs you to know how special he is and after he’s gone, only then will you realize how special he was. If you missed it, he might do another opus. After embarrassing himself here.
Or he could do basic math and find out that slick Teddy ain’t gonna win. Oh, Ted and the GOP Establishment are gonna try, mind you.
Same old lies. Easily proven to be lies...

Then you may as well vote for Hillary.
Every four years, it brings them slithering and crawling out of the woodwork. It's like some weird, political sort of catnip for online malcontents and psychotics. ;)
Agreed
Donald Trump CANNOT do what he's a claiming to do...PERIOD!! THERE WILL BE NO WALL BUILT..!! Anyone who thinks that will happen...is crazy as Joe Biden.
So, people that support Trump, and hope he's serious regarding his publicly announced campaign promises (that have been consistent on a daily basis for close to a year) should be classified crazy as Joe Biden.
Nice!
Yep, seems like you've got a free pass to support Hitlery alright, have fun with your Get-Out-Of-Zot pass ;-)
Same here.
Where I run into a problem is with the realization that this is also a propaganda war.
And when Ted Cruz fanboys are reduced to parroting every single piece of GOPe anti-Trump propaganda, then they've simply become a tool of the Enemy, whether witting or not.
Combine that with the same insults which they decry when directed at themselves, and you've got a situation where a small vocal minority are having a disproportionate influence on the situation.
So when the "NeverTrump" zealots start rubbing the site owner's nose in their BS, they deserve to get the zot, IMHO.
If all they can offer is to dutifully carry the water of the GOPe/Cruz/contested convention crowd, then I certainly won't miss their thoughtful voices.
Perhaps the die-hard Cruz supporters who remain should focus on their candidate's positive vision of America's future, rather than simply blindly pushing the "NeverTrump" agitprop, and acting as total dupes of the GOPe.
Almost this entire community was for Ted Cruz at one point, and Ted Cruz has been displaced and defeated by Donald Trump, fair and square.
At the same time, Donald Trump has withstood an onslaught of relentless character assassination, much of it at the hands of hysterical Cruz fanboys. An all out, unfair, diabolical, slanted effort by the Left, Media, Establishment, GOPe, and a Cruz campaign whose tactics are indistinguishable from those corrupt insiders, has failed spectacularly.
I can't imagine any other candidate who could have withstood such an unholy alliance of power-mad haters.
Donald Trump has totally earned my support, and Ted Cruz has completely squandered my support.
Vote Trump
Perhaps, but for the first time in over a decade I see a glimmer of hope.
Think of Cruz and the budget fights over the last couple of years. Those were epic - and eye opening. He tried to get the pubbie leadership to have a spine, but he opened my eyes to the fact that they had preemptively surrendered to the dems.
So yes, I am grateful for his exposure of the establishment.
That is my point. People can and should, but apparently around here (and elsewhere), they don’t.
I’ve heard that Breitbart and Drudge are all in for Trump. I’ve also heard that Ace and Hotair are all in for Cruz. Not so for either (although they are pro Trump and Cruz respectively).
If you want to know what all in is, take a look at Redstate or NR. They’ve become unreadable.
<< culled his thoughts from Herschel Smith who culled his thoughts from Jonah Goldberg >>
Thanks for breaking it down and confirming it. After a couple paragraphs I lost track.
Romney was a GOPe idiot politican. I know some of his family from when I lived in Utah and they couldn’t stand him.
Never said that. I’m a conservative which is why I have never supported Cruz. I am also a Christian which is why I refuse to support those who use Christ to gain political power (Cruz).
Oh and I don’t live in a swing state so your argument is invalid.
One of the Bible Software companies, Logos, does a Theological “March Madness” where you vote for theologians in rounds (the discount the winners books).
I’m thinking we need to do an election of dead rock/pop stars along the same lines.
I haven’t been cheering and there were a lot of zots and many of us (including me) took a 6 month (or more) voluntary hiatus in order to not get zotted.
And for me, nothing has changed. I still won’t vote for a cultist or someone in bed with Mormons. At best it shows Cruz has zero discernment.
If all they can offer is to dutifully carry the water of the GOPe/Cruz/contested convention crowd, then I certainly won't miss their thoughtful voices.
It's gotten to a point where adult supervision is the only way to restore order to the forum. Thank goodness JimRob decided to put an end to the incessant rantings, attacks, and propagandizing, by a small (but vocal) contingent on this forum. That small number made this place a living hell for over eight months, with their never-ending attacks against the Republican front runner.
Over the last 100 days, Freeper DoughtyOne has run a daily caucus thread, where any Freeper could vote for the candidate of their choice. Throughout the exercise, Trump dominated the voting, yet the loudmouth Cruzombies kept pushing the idea that their guy was not only viable, but that he was dominating the primary race, and would soon vanquish Trump, who was beating the pants off him, all along.
I'm sorry, but that's simply destructive to the process, and to the goal of evicting the corrupt ruling class elites from Washington, as it falsely props up a candidate who is quietly accepting the full support of the political elites, and who isn't credible in any way on handling the existential threats we face as a nation.
I understand that a lot of conservatives have supported Ted Cruz throughout this primary, but in truth, the majority have not. Most of us were once in Ted's corner, but over time, our vetting revealed that he isn't nearly what he's cracked up to be. Not even close, in fact. So much so, that a strong majority developed, who were strongly turned off by the man's obvious failures to live up to our simple expectations. He really is not who most of us thought he was, in the beginning of the race.
I'm really sorry for the hurt feelings of so many Cruz supporters, but they just have not opened their eyes to the facts about the man. If they had, they would have already crossed over and joined us in supporting Trump for the nomination.

That's so true, Windflier.
And a key word is vetting.
That process is now complete. Anyone who is still at that phase is far behind the curve.
And now we've reached the stage where that consensus has to be accepted to allow us to move forward.
There's no sense in Cruz fanboys crying over spilt milk, or to continue undermining the presumptive nominee with lines of attack which perfectly echo those of the Establishment/Media/GOPe. There's no place for echoing Enemy propaganda on this site, and, unfortunately, too many who dislike Donald Trump revel in exactly that.
It's time to unify.
Vote Trump
