    Calling "independent commonsense, conservatives" to ramp up support of Trump, the least conservative of the bunch.


    Hahaha. Talk about regurgitated deception...wow.

    Perhaps Laura Ingraham is more to your liking:

    This is the reason old Reaganites like Pat Buchanan and Phyllis Schlafly understand and are looking kindly on Trump's campaign, because they know you must utterly rout the Establishment in order to change policy.

    This is the reason people like Senator Jeff Sessions and Sarah Palin are supporting Trump — because they understand that compromise is impossible with an entrenched oligarchy.

    This is the reason Christie has endorsed Trump — because he recognizes that Rubio and his supporters will lead us down a path that will be disastrous for the party.

    As a committed conservative for more than three decades, I am not happy about the potential break-up of the GOP. I have supported the Republican Party for almost 40 years, and I fully intended to support it for the rest of my life. I have great respect and admiration for many of the people in the Rubio camp, and I know we have won important victories together.

    But I do not see how things can go on as they are now. I do not see how you can ask the working-class people of this country to support a collection of policies that have failed them over and over and over.

    Nope. IMO, she's wrong too. Trump isn't any different than what we're pissed at. He's EXACTLY the same.

    I couldn't care less about the GOP, RNC or any party. What I care about is principles...constitutional and conservative principles. I care about Liberty, freedom and personal responsibility. Trump doesn't give a shit about all that. He is a tyrant like any other. We should be fighting the statist. It's no matter Trump hasn't previously sat in an elected position, he is a statist pure and simple. There's no question about that. And instead of fighting the statist, Trump followers are actively fighting to elect one.

    Many of the same people who said in past elections they would not compromise their conservative principles and therefore not vote for the R (both in local elections and national) are now doing exactly that. They are blindly ignoring their conservative princliples, and Trump's lack there of, just to support a guy for no other reason than he isn't a politician and says entertaining things.

    I am frustrated because all these Trump supporters actually think they are breaking things up but in reality they are aggressively pushing to keep things the same. I'm frustrated because I'm going to have to hold my nose a vote for him in an effort to keep us from going more left all the while we're going to be stuck in exactly the same shitty place we have been. It's madness.

    If the entire GOP establishment is against Trump, how can you say Trump is more of the same?

    Laura lays it out quite well in her arguments against what we've been fed the past decade - we keep sending up the pussies the establishment wants, and they either lose to the Dems (McCain, Romney), or they take office and instantly become a RINO.
    The Republican Establishment are all RINOs and need to be defeated. Third party won't be able to, but Trump may do it "from the inside."

    Of the current candidates still in the running, who would do you think should receive the nomination?

    That's simply not true. He has endorsements from LOTS of those in the GOP establishment. Hell, just the other day Christie endorsed him. I can say he's more of the same based on his history, character and statements, many of which I've already mentioned in the other thread.

    Of those left? Cruz.

    The RNC Hates Cruz & Rubio. They're looking to either one to pull their nuts out of the fire. Which say a lot how bad the R party has become.

    Well, I don't like Trump either, never have. But we gotta have somebody we can vote for against the evil, socialist Democrats. Certainly can't let Cankles just have it unopposed.

    IMO, this is the most worthless bunch of "candidates" I've ever seen! Ain't a damn one worth voting for. Something's seriously wrong with our country, we are so screwed.....

    Worse than last time around?
    Should have been a gimme in 2012.
    But the RNC insisted on these two:

    I find that to be a disturbing photoshop image. It is almost as disturbing that you sought that out just to post it here.
