Free Republic

Once I might have supported Trump but I’ll never do it now after witnessing the cowardice of his attacks on Ted and Heidi Cruz.

And those of his fans.

All Trump has is the smear while he cowers in fear of any one on one debate with Cruz.

Never vote for such a coward so lacking in integrity.

Here’s an excellent article on Trump’s tactics. Anything but debate the issues.

Yet you in your profile picture are denigrating Cruz as part of the establishment.

You Trump supporters just say anything at any time.

One minute its this, next minute its the opposite.

You’re crazy.

“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.

Well said.

Peter King endorses someone and Freepers crow their approval??

Never would have expected the day to arrive.

Apologise. That email was meant for nathanbedford.

I did not claim that you called me a coward.

I said you and your friend are cowards.

For you wont say what you want in blunt and simple terms. Instead you beat all around the bush for you don’t have the courage to say what you want to. That is-

“If you do not agree with and supinely endorse alI I write here, I will seek to have you banned”

I suggest with that viewpoint you are better placed at Democratic Underground.

I suggest such a viewpoint is the antithesis of Conservatism.

I also say anyone supporting such a view is no Conservative.

And if such as you are nowadays the essence of this forum, then Jim doesn’t have to zot me, I’ll cancel my own account.

For having people like you decide who writes here and who does not means this forum has zero worth.

I hope that is not the case.

You’re a despicable coward and everything this forum once stood against.

I gathered that from the tone of “Repeal the 17th” and his arse kissing mate.

Obviously too cowardly to come out and state it up front.

Its no help to this forum or the cause of Conservatism to have such trembling yes men here.

I’m done with you.

A man who can’t say what he wants to say is a coward.

What is your point and why can’t you make it clear.

Make your point the way a man might make it.

I’m sorry, I don’t get your point.

Cruz had a valid point about Hannity’s question and he did answer it. The answer went over Hannity’s head.

Cruz’s point was why should the media, (guys like Hannity) pick up stories manufactured by Trump and use them as talking points without really checking their validity.

Cruz was clear in saying Trump is upset because he’s lost a few states, and made up an excuse that the media (including Hannity) have bought into without any real attempt to check it out.

So he did not want to talk about Trumps manufactured talking point.

You may not agree with that point of view, but to sat Cruz had no answer is just nonsense. He answered it. I heard him answer it.

Hannity was the one with the problem. Too besotted by a NY liberal to even listen to Cruz’s answer.

I’m a Conservative.

There’s no way I’m ever supporting anyone I perceive as a New York Liberal.

If you look at my posting record I think you’ll find I was originally supportive of Trump.

I’ve watched him on the campaign trail and grown less and less impressed.

In fact I’ve lost all respect for the man. I think he’s a NY liberal at heart, pretending to be something else.

I think he lacks any real moral code, and that explains why over the years he has used his money to buy the favor of liberal politicians.

And its not just business.

I know many businessmen who would never for one moment countenance giving money to liberal politicians. Because their personal code prevents them from doing so.

Furthermore, I’ve seen vile attacks on Ted Cruz and his wife Heidi that no one with any self respect would engage in.

As for Jim’s list, I don’t know where he gets many of those items from. I’ve never heard Trump say anything that leads me to believe he’s any kind of small govt constitutional conservative.

Everything points to him being your typical NY liberal.

When asked what were the most important roles of govt he was stumped and talked nonsense. Nominated education & healthcare as two of them. Not what a Constitutional Conservative would have said at all. Its obvious he just does not think that way.

He has said he doesn’t want to return federal land to the states.

The task in the US, the most important task of all, is to rebuild the Constitutional Republic.

Donald Trump has no clue about that task.

This used to be a Conservative forum.

How come most posters these days seem to be in love with a New York liberal?

If the US overall is dumb enough to fall for Donald Trump’s schtick it deserves everything its got coming to it.

Sad to see a country go down the tube this way.

Trump might want to fight the MSM but he’s already scored well against them by quitting the debate. He doesn’t need to do much more for now.

Given that, I don’t see why Trump would make any agreement that would not profit his campaign.

He’s already leading, so what has he got to gain by debating Cruz?

Moreover, we both know that in a debate with Cruz, Trump would lose big time. Trump probably knows it too.

He won’t do it because he doesn’t need to, and he’s too smart to take the risk of a big hit on his credibility.

I wish people (including Cruz) wold stop saying Trump is afraid.

That’s just BS.

Trump is taking a stand against biased and unprofessional debate moderators. Something that is long overdue and that we should applaud him for.

I think a large part of Trump’s support is due to his offensive against the MSM, and this is another instance of his willingness to do battle with them.

I am a Cruz supporter but I think its great that Trump has fought back against biased media.

I don’t think its so great to say Trump is “afraid” or worse, “a coward”.

He’s not either. He’s taking the fight to the lamestream media like so many gutless republican politicians should have been doing years ago.

I don’t think it’s that hard Jim.

A Conservative believes in smallest possible govt, low taxation and maximum individual responsibility. Every political circumstance is measured against those values and we take the fork in the road that most delivers those outcomes.

The good man/ woman makes the good family makes the good neighbourhood, makes the good town, makes the good state, makes the good country.

It’s that simple.

Sorry, can't agree. The term Conservative will always have a meaning and it will always be the same because it is a set of timeless values that do not shift in the political winds. As Mark Levin says. Conservatism is the true antidote to tyranny.

Anyway, it doesn't matter. Trump obviously doesn't have a clue. Its just not possible for someone with such crippled and immature political perspectives to make it to the White House.

I've got no solutions to this mess. The Trump train can't be stopped. Sanders will win the Democrat nomination and most likely the Presidency. Sadly, its all over already. A terrible outcome, but doesn't look to me like there is anything anyone can do to change it.

After the election, if you can come back here and tell me I was wrong, then I'll be very happy to receive that news. There's a snowball's chance in hell its going to happen.

Face The Nation Transcript

TRUMP: Well, I think it’s a person that doesn’t want to take overly risks. I think that’s a good thing.

I think it’s a person that wants to — in terms of government I’m talking about, a person that wants to conserve, a person that wants to, in a financial sense, balance budgets, a person that feels strongly about the military. And I feel very strongly about the military.

And you have some of these people, they don’t even want to focus on the military. Our military is falling apart. I feel very, very — and I have always felt very, very strongly about the military.

By the way, if you look at vision, when you look at the word vision, I was the one that said take the oil. I have been saying that for years. And I said take the oil, let’s take the oil. And nobody would listen. Then, all of a sudden, after Paris, they started saying, maybe that’s right, we will take the oil. They still don’t do it the proper way.

Trump might well win the Repub nomination, but he won’t win the presidency. No one who waffles as above on such an essential issue should ever make it to the White House.

If Trump is the nominee he will fail under media scrutiny and the Democrats will find it easy to portray him as a hollow pretender.

Bernie Sanders, who has a much more coherent political message, will win the Presidency. Supported by the Democrat establishment and stupid uneducated well indoctrinated Millennials who (wrongly) perceive Sanders as the honest broker.

If this prediction comes true I will be very saddened, but I’m not going to engage in false hope. I think the only thing now that will save the US is a SHTF event, sometime in the next couple of decades.

The electoral process is so weakened by corruption and deceit as to be useless in bringing any relief from the communist offensive.
