If conservative pundits like Ann Coulter and Breitbart's John Nolte want to make fools of themselves, so be it. But as a Christian and by consequence a political conservative, I want no part of the Donald Trump campaign.
I admit to being initially amused by The Donald's antics, and delighted by the fits he was giving the mainstream press and Republican establishment so desperate to eliminate him. But the longer this reality TV show has dragged on, the more frustrated I have become with this mindless game far too many Christians and conservatives seem to be playing.
Because they rightly despise the Republican establishment,whose repeated capitulations to the godless left allow our country to be sucked helplessly into economic and moral oblivion, these conservatives pretend that simply attacking that Republican establishment makes Donald Trump something other than a liberal charlatan.

The establishment are like roaches that have been sprayed with Raid.
On their backs, kicking and choking.
Never mind they’ve stabbed us in the back over and over and over.
Wow. Yet another TDS sufferer.
Apparently it hasn’t yet hit our “conservative” intelligentsia yet that Trump isn’t a doctrinaire anything, just an American.
In other words, exactly what we need.
from the article:
Trump copied the immigration position that had been espoused for four years by Senator Ted Cruz,

Stopped right there because that’s a flat out lie.
NO ONE would be talking about illegal aliens invading our country if Trump hadn’t said something. NO ONE !!!
Peter Heck? Are we supposed to give a rip?
Prepare the popcorn, pull up a chair bump.
Here a great idea!
Be a condescending, virtue signaling prick to people, and they will totally vote how you want!
These guys were happy with Trump last fall when he was ripping into Jeb and Rove.
But they thought that no one should have ever actually seriously supported him?
Maybe instead of hiding in his shadow so he didn’t have to actually engage anyone, the great “consistent conservative warrior from heaven” should have been going after him?
“But as a Christian and by consequence a political conservative, I want no part of the Donald Trump campaign.”
On my part, as a Christian and by consequence a political conservative, I am very supportive of the Donald Trump campaign.
Trumpeters love to discount all national polls which do not show their beloved winning. Yet for reasons unknown to mortals, there are NO polls on the current winner in the General which show DJT winning against either Sanders or Hillary.
It is obvious that the part of the public which responds to pollsters does no like DJT; how the Trumpeters imagine that a person so disliked could win the General is ... is there a word?

Haven’t you heard? He’s GOPe now.
You must not be in the first tier of the talking points mailing list.
Not to mention that Cruz promised the American people that he wanted the Gang of 8 bill to pass and bring illegals “out of the shadows”. The only reason the bill actually failed is because Eric Cantor got primaried out of a job.
All these Trump whiners can stuff it. I’m tired of career politicians, and Trump is conservative enough for me where it matters.
People starting to wake up about Trump, the Trumpets that are still posting on FreeRepublic are deluded or paid.
There are enough facts on Trump coming out of his own mouth, you don’t have to prove anything, just listen to his actual words.
Amen. I stick to the Congressional side of the ballot. A Liberal won’t get my vote, regardless of which party they are in.
Just don’t know what I’d do to get through a day without the sagacious advice I get from the wonderful American Thinker. Gee thanks buddy, you’re a real pal - a political buffoon but a real pal nonetheless.
Get back on the Plantation, conservative base. Sure we’ve failed you again and again, worked against the Tea Party movement, collaborated with Obama and done it all with our hand out for donations or rifling your pocket through taxation and big government spending, but give us another chance.
The guy not asking for your money, opposing illegal immigration, supporting the 2nd ammendment and pointing out the corrupting influence of PAC money isn’t one of us. Get serious and come back to that GOPe Plantation.
Hard to resist that offer.
I’m still supporting Cruz, but Trump as President may be inevitable as was Obama in 2008.
I would be happy to vote for either to be President over Hillary or Bernie. True, I have my preference, but I'm not so obstinate that I "will not vote in November, because my guy didn't win."
I don't want an Establishment candidate period. And to me, this is the biggest burden Cruz has to overcome. He's played the Washington game and voted for things before he voted against them, and vice versa, so that it's hard to tell what his true position is.
And I'm totally sick of the Establishment saying one thing and doing another, abdicating any vestige of conservatism and supporting this President.
On the Trump side, he's not what I would consider a traditional conservative, but he's definitely not Establishment. The question with him comes down to a matter of trust. You either trust what he's saying now or you don't.
Either way, and with either candidate, we're better off than we are now.
