How do we know he won't try to shove an expanded version of Obamacare down our throats? He already came out in favor of the individual mandate which should automatically disqualify him in any true conservatives eyes. He's the only Republican running this year that is against defunding Planned Parenthood. He's Democrat Lite so I have no idea what kind of Justice he would nominate and that scares the hell out of me because it's critical in who I vote for.Quote:

Don't take this the wrong way CHC, because after years on this board I have a lot of respect for you, but instead of bitching about how other people choose to vote, establishment Republicans need to focus on giving us candidates who we can vote for. It's the GOP's job to win my vote. Not my job to win an election for the GOP. That kind of backwards thinking is what has gotten us into the mess we are in right now.Quote:

Anyone conservative that doesn't is just a bandwagon voter wanting to say he or she voted for whomever wins.
Pretty sad day for the Grand Old Party if its sales pitch is against something and not for something.Quote:

I did find one soft spot in Trump’s support. Regular, weekly church attendance — as measured by a standard Pew Research question included in my survey — predicted a statistically significant and substantive opposition to Trump.
The support for Planned Parenthood and the Obamacare mandate was not.Quote:

"Planned Parenthood does a really good job at a lot of different areas. But not on abortion," Trump said Sunday. "So I'm not going to fund it if it's doing the abortion. I am not going to fund it."Quote:

If Cruz only wins Texas next week, I'm not sure that's going to give him the momentum to stop Trump. Kasich & Carson need to back out of the race before Tuesday but I don't think its going to happen.Quote:

Anyone with half of a informed brain would.Quote:
