When we say Trump doesn't have to show loyalty to our beliefs or our God, but Cruz has to show loyalty to him, we have lost our way.

Limbaugh has gone full Trumpbot, finally.  He's saying Cruz committed career suicide, that the people supporting him are in the minority, that #NeverTrumpers are flooding over to defend Trump, LOL.  And he's saying it while laughing that "heh heh heh" wheezy fat man's laugh.

This is priceless.
Actually Rush was a lot more conciliatory and understanding of Cruz than many other people in the "conservative" media especially the stooges on FOX news who roundly condemned Cruz.
He thinks Cruz probably made a mistake, but I listened to almost his whole program today, and he was almost sympathetic to Cruz. Because Limbaugh knows deep in his heart Cruz was the best candidate. He's even called him a strong conservative many times on past programs. And he had  many pro-Cruz callers on his show today.
Rush has tried to play both sides of the fence by not slamming Trump when he deserved slamming. But he looked at Cruz as the candidate of the future. He thinks he might have ruined his career, but we'll see.
I'm just negative about the whole situation anyway. A party that chooses a Trump over all the other capable candidates is a party that deserves to go down in flames.

Real estate tycoon, author, actor, and head of countless Trump Way products is considered blue collar now? Right! I'll bet Trump has lots of calluses on his tiny hands from typing so hard every day. I’ll further bet he has blisters on his feet from having to walk from his 757 to the limo. Such a hard working manly man, almost like being a lumber jack.

I know somebody will be along shortly to tell me he’s ok.

Down to earth. And willing to fork over big donations to Liberty College in exchange for such nice words.

It appears that there are lots of people out there who are not so stupid as the Trump media and the GOPe thought!

When it was time to pick a side for the sake of the nation Limbaugh bravely sat on the fence.

He gets no points from me.

Levin nailed him pretty well today. Not by name, but it was clear who he was referring to.

All you have to do is split the vote 3 ways in enough states, so there aren't enough electors to get any one candidate over the top. All you need is a few good second and third place finishes in just the right States, and it will throw the decision to the House of Representatives.

Just sayin.

I think the convention proved that the House of Representin' (uhn!) just go right along and pick Trump.

That's how far we've descended.
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Yeah, that's what FR thinks, too.  When did they ever get anything right?
When you have kicked out everyone except Trumpers, you get a group think. I may be in the minority, but I think Cruz played his cards exactly right. He may never be President, but I salute his conservatism. (I also like his snark)

Falwell has beclowned himself for fame.  IMO he's been wanting to have his name as widely known as his father's, and why, if Trump can be the vehicle, he'll jump on board.

A lot of his students at Liberty are upset that he threw in with Trump, but when they complain on twitter, he just blocks them.

What the hell would Joe Biden know about work?  He's admitted that he's never had a real job in his life!

I do not think Cruz wants the office if he can't get it being his principled self.

Besides, last night was the GOP trying to make sure he would never be a contender for the White House, in 2020 or any other year.

So he's got nothing to lose by being himself. America can either take it or leave it.

Pastor Mark Burns is giving me a headache, and the sound is turned all the way down!
America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign. -Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta
