But again, the globalists are afraid of him. But sadly, I don't think you are afraid of the globalists.
And, BTW, Originalist, Donald Trump threatens tariffs but doesn't mention that we already have 12,000 tariffs. Big Government? Hillary running against her Donor. What could go wrong? LOL!

Re: Unbound: The Conscience of a Republican Delega

Do What Is Right, Not What Is Easy

It is also easy to stay the course and hand Donald Trump the Republican nomination. The man who could not top 41% of the Republican vote before Cruz and Kasich dropped out and then only won 44% has 52% of Republicans now wanting him replaced. It would be easy to stay the course, lose in November, play the blame game, and rebuild.

But it would not be right.

PO - I know you will take this as me "defending" Trump, but that is not what the poll asked or said.
It asked if you would have preferred someone else as the nominee and 52% said yes.
I am in that 52%.
However, if you asked if I want him replaced, I would say no.
Because, that would be a sure path to defeat, in my opinion.

Again, you dodge the issue. Where in that statement did he call for cutting ties with the rest of the world?

Erick Erickson is one of the most pathetic morons I've ever heard speak. When you constantly attack Ron Paul, you are a moron.

How is that losing credibility? We told you all that ORomney would lose. I certainly don't always agree with Erik, and have criticized him, but I was thrilled to see him finally admit the cowards in the Republican party threw Cruz under the bus on Obamacare. We had a window of opportunity that Cruz wanted to grab, but the cowards wouldn't take a stand.

Furthermore, we have this window for the delegates, if the lawsuit plays out. Although, I believe the Rules Committee will agree to the change being implemented in 2020. Even so, it is worth the fight.

52% are satisfied with Clinton, 52% are NOT satisfied with Trump. What could go wrong? Lol!

And the same cowards will throw Cruz under the bus at the convention and gives us Jeb or Romney. Don't you get it? Like it or not, you are helping another establishment hack lose to Hillary. Have you seen the polls today? This race has not even started.
