Republican friendships shatter over Trump

[XenaLee]

We can all be like CrippleCreek, Never Romney, Never Trump,

Be principled backing up someone who has never had a leadership position like governor and who has minimal accomplishments to such governors in enacting real law.

You mean.....like Trump.

You do realize, don't you, that you just validated the #nevertrump stance with that one statement.  Right?  lolol

@XenaLee

I was just wondering how many of these friends do you think got tired of listening to him berating them to "get on the Trump train"

Well, there's that.  Apparently the Trump train riders 'think' that everyone (else) is just as pliable and easily herded (sheeple) as they are.

"Sheeple"....say, that's a clever one.  Mind if I use it?

[Silver Pines]

It comes down to "Who do you trust least?". Then vote for the other person.

@Restored

I'll pass on that.

[Wingnut]

I don't know when anything has hurt me this much.  Sob.

That time you broke a nail?   :nometalk:

[Wingnut]

I sure hope Trump has an answer to our Jewish problem.

He does.  He wants the ones with the Yamaka's counting his money.

[Emjay]

The point is how much better are the records of accomplishments are that the governors who have run, they've actually accomplished things and they have actually had to lead. It be Pence, Perry, Walker, Kasich and so on.

Actually, the point is that Cruz is in your head.  He's a better man in every way than Trump is and he didn't follow the herd in endorsing Trump.  The best thing that could happen to Trump supporters would be for Trump to lose.

Then they can live their lives in glorious 'what might have beens' and never have to face the disastrous reality of a trump presidency.

   Friends come and Go, family is a whole different Dimension, and that dynamic is being effected also.

everyone who supports Trump should just join the Democrat Party where his views fit perfectly

[Gefn]

@CatherineofAragon I lost a lot of friends on TOS because I didn't support Trump. It was sad.

I have a tender heart. I'm making friends here, for which I'm grateful.

[Emjay]

Thats bulls*t.

And you know it.

Trumpers who continue to use that lie about Cruz and Carson never remember that their Holy Orange One accused Carson of being comparable to a child molester.  You know, Carson never really recovered from that accusation and I would feel sorry for him about it except that he proved himself to be unworthy with the false claim against Cruz and the later backing of trump.

"Schlapp’s decision to support Donald Trump for president has cost him friends in Washington’s elite Republican circles."

So then, which is it?

Does the GOPe love Trump, or do they hate him?

People can't out of one side of their mouths say that the Republican elite hates Trump, then turn around and out of the other say that Trump is the GOPe's man.

Ha,ha.  You must have me mixed up with Ivanka.  BTW, she is getting Secret Service Protection now.

McConnell is on the side of Trump, John Boehner supports Trump and Preibus is threatening those who don't support Trump.

Seems pretty clear cut to me.

[HonestJohn]

This article is so one-sided that it almost makes me sympathetic to the Trump caucus. Almost.

Then I remember how the Trump caucus acts here and I can suspect why they're losing friends.

Yep.

[geronl]

Ha,ha.  You must have me mixed up with Ivanka.  BTW, she is getting Secret Service Protection now.

Ivanka Trump is looking forward to being the First Lady

@Freya

I know you do, my friend, and I'm glad that you're out of that mess and finding this place to be so much better.

My heart should probably be more tender, like yours.  I don't give a rip which friends I lost over there.  In fact, I consider myself well rid of them.  If they were willing to dump relationships over a blowhard liberal sleaze and oafish pathological liar, they weren't friends to begin with.

When Carson gave Trump a pass for Trump's despicable slur against Carson, and yet followed Trump's lead and went after Cruz during the primaries, I lost all respect for Carson forever after.  In my opinion, Carson single-handedly debunked that olde "It ain't brain surgery" meme used to signify that something requires intelligence.  In Carson's case....it now does NOT require intelligence.

[HonestJohn]

What keeps Trump and his supporters out of the Democrat party is...

...that they cannot live with the type of peoples inhabiting that party.

Not the views and political positions.  But that there not the white right kind of people.  (Jews, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Muslims... *eeek*!)

Of course they can.  It's called cognitive dissonance.  Such a state is a mental disorder, though.

@TomSea

Yes, and next you'll repeat your spiels about "neo-cons" and the Jews who dominate Hollywood.

"Constitution worship"...noted.

I noted that too.

I guess believing in the Constitution is now considered "worship"............. and I'm sure, considering that the guy using the term is a Democrat, he looks at Cruz as an idolater.

It really didn't take long for the mask to be ripped off that one, did it?

[beandog]

I voted for Cruz in the primary, daily in polls for Cruz online and never for Trump in the primaries. But I'm not going to be a cult-follower of a Senator whose accomplishments are minimal compared to the Governors, so were Rubio's and Paul's, they are good men. I'm not going to be a cult-follower and at least, Rubio and Paul did not run dirty campaigns, Rubio and Paul did not appear at a rally with Trump, Rubio and Paul did not have an alliance in fact, with Trump.

No, but now, everything is different. We get it.

Sure you did.
