It is remarkable that a forum which banishes and censors contributors with years of tempered conservative credentials for "anti-Trumpism" because it is feared that insufficient boosterism for Trump might lead to his defeat, tolerates even nurtures an atmosphere of "anti-cruizism" despite the obvious potential that offending the supporters of the runner-up candidate might also lead to Trump's defeat.

That Ted Cruz haters would prefer to reinforce one another in their triumphalism rather than unite the party against Hillary Clinton at a time when the default argument for Donald Trump is that he is not Hillary Clinton, reveals so much about them.

The debate is but days away and the election but weeks away but our zotting vigilantes are ravenously bent on breaking china rather than building a winning coalition. They would rather indulge their feelings of self-righteousness than accept that Cruz is one with them on this issue and offer that unity up to the world as evidence that Trump is right. Cruz is explicitly agreeing with Trump's position but that is as nothing because these purblind haters would rather Ted Cruz be wrong than Donald Trump be right -or victorious.

All this despite the explicit adjuration of Jim Robinson to refrain from this very thing so that the party might be drawn together.

There will be time enough after the election for zot-thirsty anti-globalists to a assail Ted Cruz and his conservative supporters but it will occur at a time when Ted Cruz and his supporters will presumably be free of censorship on this forum and able to fight back.

Get with the program. This is the most important election, ever. Forget about the Gore, Kerry, and Obama elections. It was more important to burnish one’s True Conservative cred, then.

Good morning General!

Your points are well taken and noted but we also have to be mindful of the simple fact there is a two way road we are on as well. What has most upset is that Cruz continues to act as though everyone else is going the wrong way on a one way street. From reports I get from those who frequent the halls on the Hill, even an extended hand of Mike Pence to the Senator is met with scorn. It is Ted’s move to make now, especially after Texas AG Patrick has jumped on the train.

One of the best decisions that JR has made was to ban the extreme cruzlim minority from FR. Unfortunately you’re also right in that the ban probably will probably be rescinded after the election.

As for the need for DJT or his supporters to curry favor with an ever decreasing number of cruz fanatics, I don’t see the need at all. Elections are a numbers game. The person who gets the most wins. There are far more fertile areas to attract votes than from a small number of extremist scolds. Frankly, giving cruz the back of his hand might prove to be one of the wiser decisions DJT has made. He will win or not. And if he does win, he will owe cruz and his neo-wahhabist supporters absolutely nothing. And going forward that will prove to be a good thing.

Here's the deal..... Cruz, as you know, said he'd support the nominee. Doing so earned him the help from the RNC in the form of donor lists and other perks.

After he received that help, he decided he couldn't honor his pledge. Gee, it's not like he can give back the help. His pledge was to the RNC, not DJT.

Conservatives don't act like this and stay in good stead with their constituencies.

Had the tables been turned and Cruz beat out Trump, I dare say that you would be expecting Trump supporters to get behind the nominee. It's not censorship, it common sense......BEAT HILLARY!

Ted Cruz needs to rally behind our candidate, even if it’s with a bunch of caveats, like his ally Mark R. Levin did. Just make it “official” and be allied in our fight against the Left, and then we can start swinging back to being his ally too. But it seems like Ted Cruz would rather his party and supporters lose this election than do that. It’s not anti-Cruz to point this out.

There you go again......

Intellectually pretending Cruz is NOT the one who is refusing the "building a winning coalition" thing is right up your alley.

Intellectual snobbery and stupidity at the same time.

Vote Trump. Support Trump. He's the only one that can do the right thing on this issue, and a host of others. Support him whole heartedly, get over your silliness.

It's time. Because, unlike Ted, most of us know there will be no second chance for our country, and that there will be noting to save if Hillary wins.

Ted Cruz and his conservative supporters

Ted doesn't have any conservative supporters, or they wouldn't have supported him in the first place.

By the way do you think Freepers are not anti-globalists?
