Do you seriously believe:

- that the man who has hired hundreds of illegals to build his businesses will actually build the wall?
- that the man who supported the assault weapons ban will be a strong second amendment supporter?
- that the man who’s businesses benefit from Obamacare by shifting the cost of benefits to the government, will repeal Obamacare.
- that the man who dines and donates to the Clintons and golfs with Boehner is not part of the Uni-party

I pray you are right
I fear you are not

Folks, no one has a crystal ball big enough to predict the future with Trump.

I feel moderately secure in saying more good than bad and better Trump than Hillary.

Are you incapable of reading? Did you read what happened last night?

He WILL be the nominee.

And I will put money on him beating her.

Care to take me up?

Every betrayal will be another nail in the GOP coffin.

Cruzlims would be in whole-hearted agreement

Really? Trump won and you’re still trying to alienate Cruz supporters? It’s about time that those of us who voted for Trump (as I did eight days ago) acted like adults.

This is not a difficult concept: Name calling directed at Cruz or at his voters will not make it more likely for the 30% of republican voters who preferred Cruz to vote Trump in November. That conduct makes it more likely for Hillary to win. Please give it some thought and start acting like a gracious winner - even if it’s an act.

So, you’re saying something as simple as a Trump supporter gloating over a win can control who you vote for? Are you really that easily manipulated?

Personally I don’t care if Trump welches on every other thing he has promised, but I repeat, He Better make a damned good effort on building that damned wall and he better the hell do something about the out of control illegal immigration and at least make an effort to stop the H1B abuse.

I'm saying that the behavior of a candidate's supporters affects the perception of the candidate. Look at the comments from Trump supporters on how Beck (and eventually Romney and Jeb) affected their view of Cruz. I'm not saying it should be that way, but it is. My vote was decided a long time ago, and the immaturity of celebratory Trump voters will not affect my vote. Unfortunately, a lot of voters make their decisions based on foolish or trivial reasons.

Rudeness is ugly. Kicking a man when he's down is ugly. A whole lot of anti-Cruz comments on FR have been ugly for several months. Far fewer (but still too many) anti-Trump comments on FR have been ugly in the past few months, not because Cruz voters are more polite and mature but because there were fewer of them on FR and everywhere else. Choosing to be ugly, when that increases the risk of Hillary winning, strikes me as shockingly stupid. If some people enjoy behaving in that manner so much that they are okay with the cost, I hope they are at least being well paid by America's enemies.
