I agree with your assessment. Further I’m so very disappointed in FR that it has turned into a HUGE moderate website where someone that clearly supported democrats and damn near everyone of their policies, and still does, is the candidate of choice. Trump is NOT conservative. What is going on with Free Republic?
I appreciate the Reply.
Just to set the record straight, while I am a Cruz Supporter first, Trump is my one and only second choice.
None of the others, including Rubio (who’s Parents were not American Citizen’s when he was Born and is disqualified from attaining the Presidency anyway, same as Jindal) is on my Radar.
To address your question about Trump and his support here, the only People to “blame” are the powerbrokers in the Republican Party. They screwed the Pooch when they became quasi Democrats and left Conservatives like the People who Post on Free Republic in the dust.
Trump is not a Conservative by a long shot, but he is promoting many Conservative Policies that 75% of the Republican Field (if not more) have not.
His History is out there for all to see, but it isn’t a History of being Elected to Political Office and screwing his Supporters. The Republicans own that one, not Trump.
Above all he is a fighter that actually wants to Represent the People. What does he gain by doing what he is doing? Nothing as far as I can see.
He has a Life that most of us would envy, at age 69 he certainly doesn’t need the crap that goes along with running for Office. There is no upside for him except wanting to accomplish something for the Country IMHO. He can’t have any less success than those so called Conservatives we all supported in past Elections.
Does anyone Posting here feel like anything they believe in has been promoted by our so called Conservative Representatives in D.C.? I certainly don’t.
All those so called Conservatives that we put in Office have done nothing for the cause. Listening to the former Tea Party Babe Nikki Haley provided an example of what the reality of the situation is.
She went after Trump with the Blessings of her GOPe Masters instead of attacking Lord Obama and his damaging Policies. Do people actually think she wrote that so called “response” herself, really? What a hit job, unreal.
BTW - Mrs. (super duper Apolitical) K.C. is for Trump 100%, just like the rest of her Family. None of them were influenced by my promoting Cruz. I even have coworkers who will gladly Vote for Trump, but never for Cruz, that guy who shut down the Government. No matter how I try to explain the truth of the Shutdown doesn’t matter.
That is what Cruz will have to contend with in the General. I am afraid he will not have the broad base of appeal that Trump is currently experiencing. We still have over ten Months to go, so who knows what will happen? Not me. #;^)
