trump supporter injured

 

I have officially had enough of this sh*t.  Deport the bastards. All of them.

It’s one thing to disagree with candidates. It’s another to protest. Rioting is over the top.  Hurting people is beyond the pale.

Police clashed with hundreds of protesters outside Donald Trump’s rally in Southern California on Thursday night.

At least one police car was smashed up as hundreds of demonstrators – many of them waving Mexican flags – took to the streets outside the Pacific Amphitheater in Costa Mesa, Orange County where Trump was speaking.

The protesters flooded the street outside the amphitheater with some stomping on cars, hurling rocks at motorists and forcefully declaring their opposition to Trump – bringing traffic to a halt and creating a tense standoff with authorities.

One Trump supporter was pictured with a bloody face after clashing with the anti-Trump activists, many of whom appeared to be young Hispanic people.

The violence in Southern California where Latinos make up a large segment of the population suggests Trump may face more of this in the days to come, as he campaigns ahead of the state’s June 7 primary. Trump currently leads Kasich and Cruz in the California polls, with an estimated 45.7 per cent of voters, according to Real Clear Politics.

The goddam mainstream media is downplaying the violence, dismissing it as “protests.”

Just imagine for a moment the shrieking outrage if Trump supporters had tried to flip a car outside a Hillary Clinton rally. Imagine the fury at the sight of a bloody man wearing a Hillary shirt. So how did the mainstream media cover the anti-Trump riot? Hot Air’s Larry O’Connor has the details:

Check out the LA Times headline: Protests rage outside Trump rally in Orange County; 17 arrested, police car smashed. Maybe it’s me, but if your headline includes the phrase: “police car smashed,” perhaps you should go ahead and call it a riot and not the benign and righteous sounding “protest.” The Times write-up of the ugly violence begins with more apologetic language: “Hundreds of demonstrators filled the street outside the Orange County amphitheater where Donald Trump held a rally Thursday night…” “Demonstrators”??? This is a very deliberate use of language. When you have a righteous cause, you’re a “demonstrator.” The Times is using language equating these thugs with someone marching in Selma. “Demonstrators” sounds heroic.

The Washington Post used the morally-neutral term “clashed.” Trump protesters clashed with police officers here after a campaign rally Thursday hosted by the Republican presidential candidate.

 

This is not a damn “protest.” It’s a riot:

Trump supporters are being injured:

 

 

As if that’s not enough, these dirtbags are making clear where their loyalties lie:

These events are going to make campaign fodder for Trump. They validate everything he says. How dare these illegal alien nematodes attempt to deny Trump and other their right to free speech? What the freaking hell is wrong with the left? How would it be received and reported were attendees to a Hillary rally attacked and injured? How would it be reported if Hillary was rushed and denied entry to a campaign event?

And those flags? They’re going to suck up the benefits and privileges offered by this country and then shove this in our faces?

 

I don’t think so. ¡Fuera de mi país!

Trump is a jerk, but damn it, this makes clear he’s right. This garbage is going to make Trump the next President. It’s not the left being denied their rights. It’s not Hillary being jeopardized. The left is behind all of the violence, illegal and legal. If they think violence and intimidation is going to succeed, they’re yugely mistaken.

It has to stop. Trump is the guy to do it.

Felicitanos, culos. You’ve made another Trump convert.

Get. Out.

@Redteam:

Exactly. Congress writes the laws, the Supreme Court rules on what the laws mean. Congress could however pass a Constitutional Amendment to define the term. Kitt is wrong.

Ted Cruz Confronts Donald Trump Supporters in Indiana

I’ll have to give this round to Ted Cruz, and award him five bonus points for taking the battle directly to the front line himself. I don’t think we’d see Donald Trump doing this.

@Greg: Proves Donald Trumps backers are not violent, they were a tiny bit rude but non violent. Cruz supporters also did not confront or harass the Trump people, must just be the leftist rioters causing all the fuss.

@kitt:

Which proves there can be civil discourse without violence. A shame Democrat activists don’t practice what they preach, but then without hypocrisy and violence there would be no Democrat activists. It’s a viscous cycle.

@Ditto: Yes correct but it fails to change the wording of the amendment for future arguments.
As times change and interpretations of words seem to be in doubt an amendment may be in order.

Trump does seem to have locked down th KKK vote
The Grand Kleagke of VA has endorsed him and Lord knows they have a long history of nonviolence

@John: Well John if you say a tiger cant change its stripes the KKK was the democrat party in a nutshell How can you forgive that?
https://realdemocrathistory.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/the-kkk-was-the-te

@John, #156:

It’s a kinder, gentler Klan these days. They all wear wrinkle-free sheets that smell of Downy fabric softener.

@kitt, #153:

It was in Indiana. They might have gone ballistic at any mention of basketball rings.

@kitt: I guess you’re referring to the Supreme court in 150, I guess I thought everyone knows the congress makes laws, the Supreme Court interprets legality as relates to Constitution. If a law has to be changed, Congress and the Pres does that. If the Constitution has to be amended, the Congress, President and States do that.
As pertains to that link in 148, that was old news published in Jan 2014. That didn’t make him solely a US citizen, he still has not, to this day, renounced his Cuban citizenship. Your statement about Cuba not recognizing dual citizenship only means that he is still only a Cuban citizen, from their perspective.
By renouncing his Canadian citizenship, he might not now be a citizen of any country because we’ve seen no evidence he ever ‘claimed’ (filled out appropriate paperwork) to become a US Citizen.

@John:

The Grand Kleagke of VA

There is no such thing, of course. This is just John attempting to interpret into English.

We do note that the Grand Dragon of the KKK in Gayfornia has endorsed Hillary.

@Redteam:

because we’ve seen no evidence he ever ‘claimed’ (filled out appropriate paperwork) to become a US Citizen.

To be clear: I think that Cruz may indeed have a legal ability to claim to be a citizen, due to his mother having been a citizen, but only if she remained a citizen of the US. I don’t think it has been proven one way or the other that his mother renounced her US citizenship. She may have. IF she did, then Cruz may claim dual citizenship under Canada and Cuba, but not under the US.

IF Cruz’ Mother did not renounce her US citizenship, then Cruz does qualify as a US (& Cuban & Canadian,) citizen, but may not be considered a ‘natural born citizen’ dependant on a SCOTUS opinion.

Under Obama, we have seen now how a President with divided loyalties (due to having dual-citizenship,) may reject his US loyalties and instead be in favor of loyally following the political aspirations of his Kenyan (& socialist revolutionary) father.

@Ditto: I mostly agree with what you said. If his mother did, in fact, remain a US citizen and if she filled out all the paperwork and filed it with the US state dept, then Cruz can claim naturalized citizenship (not natural born) If she did not fill out and file the paperwork, then he is not a US citizen. As I pointed out earlier, in the year he was born in Canada, they did not allow dual citizenship, so being born there, he was a Canadian citizen. And we know he was also eligible to be Cuban at birth, same as US. Don’t know if they have a requirement for paperwork as the US does.

O course we do not actually know who Obama’s father is, so we don’t know if he’s Kenyan or not. We certainly think we know that he was born in Kenya, and that he gave up his US citizenship when he moved to Indonesia and has never applied for US citizenship so he is not a US citizen at the present time. He also does not have a valid Social Security card/number. We also know, as you said, that he has no loyalty to the US.

Remember when all those ”unaccompanied children” were pouring across the border for citizenship under Obama?
Glenn Beck and Ted Cruz went to the border to hand out toys, teddy bears and soccer balls to those children from ”charity.”
But that charity was you, the taxpayer.
The so called charity, named the ”Baptist Child and Family Service” pulled in $67,325,953.00 and $63,321,669 of taxpayer funds through DHS and HHS grants/contracts. That’s around 94% of their entire operational “charity revenue” from taxpayers.
And Ted Cruz was their front man pretending it was a religious charity.
His buddy Glenn Beck gave some of that other 6% to this ”charity” when it collected $2 million in toys for illegals given out via the Baptist Child and Family Service.
Cruz unloading truck of toys.

@Nanny G:

What proof do you have that the money given to the BCFS was used by Beck for his “teddy bear” mission? Or is that just more of the crap that is coming out of the Trump campaign?

I did a research paper on the money spent on “unaccompanied alien children” by DHS for a sitting U.S. Congressman about a year and a half ago. Yeah, BCFS was given tons of money, but not by Cruz and certainly not by Beck who has his own 501(c)3 charity. And on the list of expenditures for BCFS, Beck’s name or charity was not listed.

And shame on you for linking to the Treehouse. That site has become nothing but a smear site to smear anyone but Trump and if you offer an opposing opinion they (their moderators) ban you from posting there. So what’s next on your list, Nan? Accusing Ted Cruz’s dad of helping assassinate JFK?

Let me ask you this: are you so full of hate for illegals that you would deny children who have been sold out by their parents and put into the hands of coyotes to trek across the desert that you would deny them so much as a teddy bear? Are you now blaming the children for the actions of their parents and our federal government (run by Obama) who facilitates their staying in this country?

Those children should have never been here in the first place, and once they got here, they should have been sent home by the Obama administration. But since when do we treat children inhumanly due to the actions of adults? If you’re an example of the Trump supporter, I want nothing to do with such irrational people.

@retire05:

And shame on you for linking to the Treehous

Do you really think that photo of Cruz unloading a truck is despicable because it is on the Treehouse site? (for the record, I’ve never even heard of the ‘treehouse’ site before this posting, so I haven’t been banned from there. ) Looks like a good photo of Cruz doing some publicity work.

coming out of the Trump campaign?

to smear anyone but Trump

If you’re an example of the Trump supporter,

If Nanny is a ‘supporter’ of Trump, she’s not doing a good job, Trump’s name does not appear anywhere in her comment. His name is in your comment several times, giving him publicity he wouldn’t have gotten without you.

@retire05: Compassion is not a quality displayed by any Trumpists I’ve encountered . They seem to consider it a weakness.

@Richard Wheeler:

Compassion is not a quality displayed by any Trumpists I’ve encountered

Unlike the lyin liberals like your girlfriend Hillary,, she’s gonna put the coal miners in W Va out of business. Did you see her pedaling in reverse when the coal miner questioned her.

But you keep on raising them cows for the manure you like to spread.

Trump accuses Cruz’s father of helping JFK’s assassin.

You have got to be kidding.

No, seriously, there’s evidence.

The National Enquirer–run by David Pecker, a buddy of Trump–has been plastering such stories all over America’s grocery store check out lines for months. You don’t have to read the paper to have the anti-Cruz memes, of which there are many, slipped into your head while you’re busy with something else.

At least the anti-Cruz television ads running across Indiana today aren’t quite so sleazy–no more truthful, perhaps, but not so sleazy.

They’re going to have a field day with Hillary Clinton. The Trump campaign obviously doesn’t give a rat’s patootie for the truth to begin with, and so many lies have already been promoted about Clinton that there’s a preexisting foundation of falsehood to build on. Donald Trump thinks he has got America’s number.

If people don’t wise up, we could be on the verge of becoming a tabloid news, reality television nation, where the truth about anything has finally become totally irrelevant.

Do you really think this would be the wiser choice?

@Greg: Trump accuses Cruz’s father of helping JFK’s assassin.

Actually, All Trump did was point out that, when BOTH Lee Harvey Oswald AND Rafael (the dad) Cruz were in New Orleans at the same time, AND they both were admitted CASTRO supporters, they were PHOTOGRAPHED together at a Fair Play For Castro meeting…..in August of 1963.
Trump NEVER said Rafael helped Lee Harvey Oswald plot to kill Kennedy…..in November of 1963.
There is no implication that the two men even ever saw one another again.
Rafael later said that he somehow didn’t know Castro was a communist until later, then he quit supporting Castro in the USA.
But, at the same time, I was in Huntington Park CA when it had become a magnet for Cuban ex-pats who wanted to go back as soon as the COMMUNISTS could be ousted!
So, I have to wonder why all those West Coast Cubans knew Castro was a commie when Rafael, in New Orleans, didn’t.
Rafael ADMITS he was associated with Fair Play for Cuba in summer of 1963 IN New Orleans by his own admission…..perhaps he was a spy?

@Greg: David Pecker and Donny Trump–perfect combo—angry white men as witnessed here and on Fox are in the tank for Trump–not nearly enough to overcome the women and minorities that will crush Trump’s Presidential bid.
Cruz today finally tells us what he REALLY thinks of Trump–where you been Ted? Ring vs Hoop? In Hoosier country?? Digger and Lou??–the horror

So called Conservatives here at F.A. backing Populist Trump over Cruz? Can someone explain that?

t

@Greg:

and so many lies have already been promoted about Clinton that there’s a preexisting foundation of falsehood to build on.

I challenge you to reveal just one lie that has been released about Hillary. If it is a lie, it’s probably that she ‘didn’t do something that she actually ‘did’ do. I’ll bet you don’t even think Hillary was involved in the death of Vince Foster. I’ll bet you think she was right that all those women that accused Slick of rape were lying. Yes Greggie, you are the epitome of authority for Hillary.

@Richard Wheeler:

So called Conservatives here at F.A. backing Populist Trump over Cruz? Can someone explain that?

I’ll bet you can’t explain what a ‘so called’ conservative is. Then i’ll bet you can’t name even one that backs Trump over Cruz. Then I’ll bet you can’t explain why Cruz is, himself, one of these ‘so called’ conservatives.

@Richard Wheeler:

Cruz today finally tells us what he REALLY thinks of Trump–where you been Ted?

Proof he’s about to throw in the towel. Most of the other candidates blasted Trump when they were throwing the towel. Trump came to the game to play hard ball while Cruz thought it was a pickup game.

Lynne Patton had had enough, so she decided to lay out exactly what she thought about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Patton, who is black, shared her judgments in a letter she read on a YouTube video, which has more than 127,000 views.

“I can no longer remain silent about the repeated and reprehensible attempts to align my boss and his family with racist hate-mongering groups, campaigns and messaging,” wrote Patton, director of the Eric Trump Foundation and assistant to Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. She said the video was not part of her employment but was triggered by the reaction Trump has received during his campaign.

@Redteam, #173:

What I think is that many people on the right don’t have a clue about what’s true or false, and don’t much care about finding out.

Donald Trump makes false statements on a regular, totally routine basis. I can’t think of another presidential candidate during my lifetime who has made false statements so frequently and so casually. He says whatever seems useful at the moment, and his supporters give him a pass, every single time.

@Richard Wheeler:So called Conservatives here at F.A. backing Populist Trump over Cruz? Can someone explain that?

Having never been an ideologue type conservative I have never wanted a theocrat, Muslim OR Christian in the presidency.
Ted Cruz would have done more to win my vote if his dad (and he) hadn’t taken such a hard-line theocratic social conservative line.
CRUZ:
*Supreme Court gay rights ruling undermines the Constitution. (Meet the Press 2015 interviews of 2016 presidential hopefuls , Jul 5, 2015)

*Pray against a court decision legalizing same-sex marriage. ( N. Y. Times on 2015 Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition summit , Apr 26, 2015)

*Liberals obsessed with mandatory gay marriage in 50 states. ( Politico.com on 2015 Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition summit , Apr 26, 2015)

*Zealotry on same-sex marriage leaves out religious liberty. ( TheHill weblog on 2015 Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition summit , Apr 25, 2015)

*Most states can ignore Supreme Court legalizing gay marriage. (PBS News Hour “2016 Candidate Stands” series , Mar 23, 2015)

*Overturn Supreme Court with anti-gay marriage Amendment. ( NewsMax 2014 coverage of 2016 presidential hopefuls , Oct 9, 2014)

*Opposes gay pride parades and opposes gay marriage. (Texas Public Radio coverage of 2012 Texas Senate debate , Feb 23, 2012)

Ted’s dad is a minister who actively campaigns for his son.
He calls Ted the ”anointed one.”
He is a preacher of the far-right doctrine of dominionism,
which holds that Christians should take over the government and save it from the wicked.

I know Ted never goes so far as to advocate throwing gays off roofs, but I wonder if it outrages him as it does Donald Trump.
Or, does he say to himself, that’s a good start?

Social conservatism is the same whether it is Islamic or Christian.
Too many of the rest of the nation will be ”on the outs.”

@Greg: Well Greg, I think that we should take your advice and use Obama as the absolute standard for the truth. If he says it, it has to be true. Didn’t he say the other day that we live in the safest time in history? Didn’t he say that he saved the world from economic collapse? Of course these are true statements. A President would never lie about matters so consequential.

Disturber

@Richard Wheeler:

Compassion is not a quality displayed by any Trumpists I’ve encountered .” Which Trump supporters have you actually encountered? Those that have been pelted with rocks, those that have been forcibly prevented from reaching their destination or those that have been punched in the face? Perhaps left wing fascism has eroded their “compassion”.

@Greg: Why would anyone waste their time with lies when there is plenty of truth (which you liberals skillfully avoid) to prove beyond any possible doubt that Hillary is the most corrupt, lying, failed and incompetent individual to have ever run for the office of the Presidency?

@Greg:

I can’t think of another presidential candidate during my lifetime who has made false statements so frequently and so casually.

Well, you could certainly start with Obama, he would be a benchmark of unreliability. You still don’t even know who he is, where he’s from or what country he’s a citizen of. Then you could move to Hillary. I’m not sure she knows she’s lying. She might just have always been so sheltered, she might actually believe some of the stuff she says. But she’s certainly a benchmark all her own.
How about telling something Trump said that’s a lie. I can’t think of any, so your input might be helpful on that. If you can come up with one, share it with us. Since you seem to be totally disillusioned about this, you should be able to list at least one.

@Disturber, #179:

Didn’t he say the other day that we live in the safest time in history?

In fact, all things considered, most of us in the United States do. I was born shortly after war had engulfed most of the planet, into a world of annual childhood polio epidemics. A war in Korea was already underway. By the time I started school we had fallout shelters in our local public buildings, and were taught how to respond to a sudden brilliant flash of light. I was still in elementary school during the Cuban missile crisis. It seemed like whether there would even be a future was a flip of a coin. I then watched as a series of greatly admired rational leaders, who hoped to change our course, were assassinated one after the other. I was sent off to a war halfway around the world before I was out of my teens.

So, it feels to me as if the world is a safer place now. The threats are still many, but they’re not so immediate. I think we should feel fortunate. Maybe it’s all a matter of individual perspective.

@Redteam, #181:

How about telling something Trump said that’s a lie. I can’t think of any, so your input might be helpful on that.

Did you click on the link in post #177? There are over 100 examples listed. To me that seems like a lot of false statements, over so short a period of time.

@Nanny G: Well put—Conservatism is dead–well at best on life support near term—Trump has upended the Republican Party–populism is alive and well.
Here is Trump’s plan–Indiana win has assured him the nom He figures he doesn’t need Cruz or Rubio or their Conservative supporters–too far right.
He’s gonna pivot to the middle and go after Indies and disgruntled Dems.

The Wall–what wall? Round up illegals–are you serious–do you think I actually meant that literally??-He picks either establishment Kasich to win Ohio or a woman like Condi–for the women he needs-he’s gonna be supportive of Planned Parenthood, women’s health issues, childcare–he’s gonna become a softie in these areas–he needs to move up from 25% to 40+ among women
His hardcore angry white males?–they’re locked in no matter how many perceived promises he breaks—remember ” I could stand in the middle of the street and shoot someone”-they’ll still support me” He believes this.
The Donald is out to win–For HIS legacy.
Stay tuned

Exit polls are asking people why they voted for whoever they voted for.
Many of those who were late deciders said the same thing as Dr John: It was seeing those anti-Trump demonstrators whose violence and anti-Americanism sent them into voting for….Trump.

Tonight it looks like it is Trump and, perhaps Bernie in Indiana.

@Rich Wheeler #184 –

Condi Rice as a possibility, highly unlikely. First, she’s way too intelligent compared to Trump. Also, she’s a Bush loyalist. Second, she’s done with politics like Bush 43 and would prefer to be NFL Commissioner. In that regard, she would be a vast upgrade over Roger Goodell.

How can he win the middle after he’s pitted one group against another? He’s hoping we have a short memory. He wants your vote, he wants mine. Fat chance he’ll get them since we each have our own reasons. Hillary, she’s shown she doesn’t know how to handle sensitive information and lied about it. She doesn’t earn my vote either.

Live updates: Donald Trump wins Indiana GOP primary; Ted Cruz drops out

8:36 p.m. Ted Cruz ends his presidential candidacy. “I’m sorry to say it appears that path has been foreclosed. Together we left it all on the field in Indiana…the voters chose another path. And so, with a heavy heart, but with boundless optimism, for the long-term future of our nation, we are suspending our campaign. But hear me now, I am not suspending our fight for liberty.”

With 74% of the Indiana vote in. 57 delegates
Donald Trump 53% 459,105 (Projected Winner: 51 del. Which adds up to 1,041)
Ted Cruz 37% 317,259 (565 delegates)
John Kasich 8% 66,434 (153 delegates)

Exit Poll Data

Kasich, who has fared even worse than Cruz and just barely over 150 delegates, seems intent on hanging in there like a tick, setting all his sights on the Convention and hoping to win one of the delegates votes after the 1st vote. Of course, if the GOP is stupid enough to let it go that far and instead of one of the front runners, give the nomination to Kasich, they will piss off Republican voters so much that they might as well turn off the lights and walk off a cliff. A Kasich nomination will force Trump to go to a third party/independent run.

Speculation that Trump will tap Kasich for VP seems highly unlikely if Kasich insists on staying in the race to the bitter end.

@David: True he won’t get your vote or mine–neither will Hillary
I’ll sit this out unless Biden parachutes in. Trump can’t win without indie and female numbers much improved==Repubs will not unite behind him–he sees this as a good thing as he will now paint himself a moderate/populist–been there before. You watch building the wall and rounding up illegals will be put on long term hold—he’ll be a supporter of planned parenthood–he’ll still lose but he’ii make it close.
Of course you are right about Condi for NFL Commish—Kasich V.P.if he doesn’t bash him here out
It’s all about Donald

I don’t know what bothers me more, Made in China or One Size Fits All.

@Greg: Greg, you can’t just click on a list published by lying liberals and accept what they say. I didn’t read all those things, but the ones I did were mostly just opinions. For example, he said the unemployment rate in Wisconsin was likely closer to 20%. That was rated as a lie. It was an opinion. I’m sure the actual rate ther is likely as it is in most states, about 25-30%. Then they quote fact check on one supposed lie. Well, of course, fact check only finds lies on the Repub side, never on the Dim side. So they have to be discounted as a source. But do what I said. List one ‘actual’ lie that is not just someone’s opinion. I don’t expect an answer, because their isn’t one.

Well the Cruzer dropped out, now we can all get behind Hillary.

@Richard Wheeler:

Well put—Conservatism is dead–well at best on life support near term

Let me tell you, Rainbow Richie why you’re wrong about that. The ‘establishment’ is theoretically conservative. They have surrendered, the rascals are playing politics and caving to the lying liberals about everything. The conservatives in the Republican party are tired of the establishment and the objective was to ‘clean house’ and get some Republican conservatives back in action. The establishment Cruz and Rubio and Kasich can’t do that. The only outsider in the game with any possibility to get anything done is Trump. Whether he does or not will be seen. He will win the election, even with me supporting Hillary.

Bernie Sanders thumps Hillary in Indiana.

Bernie Sanders 53% 281,114 (Projected Winner: 36 del. total 1403 + super delegates would equal = 1399)
Hillary Clinton 47% 249,986 (38 del. total 1701 + super delegates would equal = 2201)

Greg and Richard clearly need to start focusing their concern on their own party, and what happens if Hillary gets indicted before the convention or general election.

@Ditto:

The ‘establishment’ is theoretically conservative.

The establishment is not by any means “conservative.” They are bought and paid for, progressive globalist puppets who don’t give a damn about conservatism or their fellow citizens.

@Ditto:

The establishment is not by any means “conservative.” They are bought and paid for, progressive globalist puppets

That’s what I said. Did you read the 2nd sentence: ” The ‘establishment’ is theoretically conservative. They have surrendered, the rascals are playing politics and caving to the lying liberals about everything. ”
They are the reason Trump won, he wants to get rid of the ‘rascals’ and get some people into government that wants to make America great again instead of just being in it to line their pockets. There are more people that want to make America great again than there are career politicians that just want to ‘play the game’ while enriching themselves. Look at Cruz’s income for last year, over 2 million and he’s a politician supposedly paid $174K. Oh, that’s right, his wife is a banker, I’m sure they make $1.8 million a year.

Go Hillary!

@Redteam:

Yes, I read your whole post but it sounded like you were still allowing the establishment RINOs (rascals that they are,) to get away with their claim to being conservative. Sarcasm does not always carry over well in text, which is why i like to include (/sarc.).

@Nanny G:

Having never been an ideologue type conservative I have never wanted a theocrat, Muslim OR Christian in the presidency.
Ted Cruz would have done more to win my vote if his dad (and he) hadn’t taken such a hard-line theocratic social conservative line.
CRUZ:

I admit that I found the increasingly over the top theocracy-like remarks by Ted, his father, and Beck to be very off-putting. I have nothing whatsoever against Christians, (being one) but when you start ad-campaigning like hard-core religious zealots, it makes the moderate and even your fellow conservative voters consider that you might be another Jim Jones nut-case.

Really bad decision Cruz campaign.

@Ditto:

I admit that I found the increasingly over the top theocracy-like remarks by Ted, his father, and Beck to be very off-putting.

I did also. While I am Christian, I think everyone should be what they want to be. However we should not change our system of government to accommodate religions that are not compatible with Most of the US being Christian. We don’t need militant Muslims, for example. Religion, in Cruz’s case was a political convenience. His first religion is politics.
The country does not want a Hillary and will not support and vote for her (well, except for me) but since Rainbow Richie is not for Hillary, I guess I’ll have to be. Rainbow has said he’s writing in some guy that runs a ‘save the animals’ for profit organization.

Now that the only “almost” conservative candidates have all been effectively eliminated, we’re left with nothing at all but liberals, no matter which party you’re talking about. As far as these remaining liberals are concerned, Trump has by FAR the best prospects for getting elected. Hillary would be the most predictable candidate, and IF she won the election, a (another) Clinton presidency would be the more predictable of the bunch, but it certainly wouldn’t be the best. Trump and Sanders both have a better chance of inspiring Americans, and between the two, Trump would be the stronger, though God knows in what direction he’d take America. Personally, I’m thrilled that social conservatism is effectively dead for at least the next four years, and at this point, what happens going out doesn’t really matter. From among who’s left, take your pick!

I do not agree with the trolls that conservatism is dead. They are reading the public completely wrong there. The Trump phenomenon is not a strike against conservatism, it is one against the corrupted Washington DC establishment machine that had taken over both parties. It is the public demanding politicians become more concerned about our nation and us and less global progressive governance. This is also reflected in the leftist revolt against Democrat globalist establishment elite.

Hillary is in much shakier grounds than Trump has been. Sanders is giving her a real run for her money that only the Super Delegates may be able to stop (assuming they will want to).

This whole election season is off the tracks and it is sending chills down the spines of corrupted establishment progressives. Trump’s success means that the public will be much more willing to dump corrupt, establishment congress critters in future elections in order to support more candidates who too say they want to make “America great again” and build a renaissance of the “American Dream”.

I expect many of the establishment crooks are already calculation and making plans within plans in hopes that they will be able to manipulate Trump into “deal-making” with them. We will have to wait and see if Trump is politically savvy enough to see through them.

@Ditto, #192:

I could happily vote for either Clinton or Sanders. Unlike the GOP, the Democratic Party has been conducting primary elections, not an internal civil war. We already know what Clinton and Sanders stand for. You’ll probably have to elect Trump to find out what he actually stands for. It’s kind of like cranking one of those old fashion Jack-in-the-Boxes—except without Here we go round the mulberry bush. Jack will probably be wearing a little red Trump hat when he pops out.

@Ditto #198:
Do you honestly believe that Donald Trump is a true conservative?
I mean deep down, in your heart? Because if you do…
You think that someone calculating enough to have managed the accumulation of the wealth he has built for himself was at the same time as wildly ignorant as he would have us believe that he was BEFORE his miraculous political transformation? (Note that the transformation is still jerking back and forth in fits and starts as he attempts to refine what he thinks will sell.)

Trump is another political chameleon of the Richard Nixon sort, who was a Democrat before he tested the direction of the National Breeze and switched teams. You watch and see what we all get if we buy what Trump’s selling, as the package labeling is all gibberish. He’s already said that he says whatever he needs to say to get what he wants. All that remains for us to discover is exactly what it is that he DOES want. I’m betting that he’s STILL in cahoots with the Clintons, and I’m astonished that Republicans are willing to risk that there’s even a remote chance for that to be true. You’ll get what you deserve, one way or the other.
