Trump did an impression of a despot not a U.S. Constitutional president.

I don’t fault Limbaugh for being for Cruz. If that is his choice so be it. The way he is doing it looks like he takes the listeners for idiots. He wants to tell us what to think and that is vote for Cruz but at the same time he wants to pretend he is impartial. That won’t work.

Better to simply endorse. Lose a chunk of his audience and the audience remaining will be all in and he can preach whatever he wants.

Or is it he likes the gravy too much so he will string along all the non Cruz believers so he can benefit from their advertising support?

As I said better to come clean and endorse the guy and make a little less money. That would be the conservative thing to do.

The booger has more common sense than its owner.

I thought Cruz was way too condescending since coming in second or third in each debate, does not confer superiority. His “count to ten, Donald”, “I know it’s hard, just breathe Donald”, and “try not to interrupt” and on, and on, and on. That “superiority” thing puts me dead off any politician. I used to like Cruz, but still feel he has ineligibility issues. Now, I don’t even like him. Smart doesn’t equate to likeability and compassion, Ted! No wonder your mates in Congress can’t abide you.

The difference is when the discussions shift to issues substance I’ll still have something to say.

Yeah, sure, they said the same thing about Patton and I’ll take Patton on my side any day.
Washington has become just like the Vichy government. It has sold out America to the enemy, the New World Order.
Trump gave the impression of someone fighting FOR America. You Vichyites can take a flying leap....I’d suggest off the Washington Monument.

Not once have I made an appeal to GUILT, only INTELLECT. Emotion often TRUMPS intellect, tragically. I notice you don’t answer why we should trust Trump after he supported Rotten and Kerry for President. His court will be a disaster, in line with Maobama’s.

Patton would have a made a horrible president as well. Better than Trump, but not at all suited for it either.

Trump is not only not suited, but his policies would be extremely damaging to the republic - its constitution and, very quickly, its economy.

I do get that it is nationalism that appeals to you.

But nationalism is not necessarily conservatism, not necessarily a constitutional republic with rule of law not men.

It can be, and often has been neither, and sometimes socialism, tyranny, corporatism...

Nationalism is not enough.

Nationalism is what we had bundles of in WW II. We WON that one, remember! This country has been stripped of patriotism, nationalism, our sovereignty, our culture, even our Constitution. A vote for Rubio or Cruz is a vote for the New World Order.
Either you are an American, or you aren’t. The only LEADER on the stage is Trump. He has the talents and tools to bring this country back from the brink of damnation. But then of course, the soft pattsies and pansies of the new world order can’t allow that to happen. America must FALL for the NWO to RULE! What side are you on?

Something tells me that once elected Trump would suddenly become more GOPe than McConnell, Hatch, Ryan and Olympia Snowe combined.

He is compelled to appear effective, and lacking an ideological core, and that has to be clear by now, this would be the easiest route.

That’s not a question of trust or not. He was a private citizen and free to make that decision or not.

I dont even know who “rotten” even is, but If Trump is sincere about actually wanting to improve the nation as he said he wants to, and is willing to go through all of this for the chance, then that speaks more to me than 2 new senators looking for a fast upgrade to the White House.

“His court will be a disaster, in line with Maobama’s”

Cruz supported Roberts. Why should I trust him? And please dont say he was fooled.

“You’ve got guts posting a pro Cruz article in front of these Tumpopiated snark monkees just salivating to throw poo.”

Uh,,,, seems that’s just what you’re doing.

Rotten is Hillary Rotten Clinton, to whom Trump gave money 10X, including 4X in her presidential run in ‘08.
Cruz did NOT choose Roberts. Roberts sucks, but he is infinitely better than any Rotten or Kerry pick would have been. BUSH picked Roberts, and it was Cruz’ job to defend the pick after the fact.
Your post includes stunning rationalizations for a very bad candidate.
