Because the others will bow to the left just like Obummer.

Rubio:

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio sounded frustrated when asked if he would support Trump if he was the party's presidential nominee.

"I don't know," he said. "I already talked about the fact that [Hillary] Clinton will be terrible for this country the fact that you are even asking me that question -- I intend to support the Republican nominee, but it's getting harder every day."

********************

sounds like leaving an opening for a contested convention ? (like his advisors have been talking about)

Trump is fighting the Dems, the Reps establishment, the MSM, the conservative media.

And he is still winning. Think about what might happen if the assholes like Mitch McConnell actually threw their weight behind him ?

You want to bash Trump go to your fucking Cruz post which I stay out.

Fuck Rubio.

Fuck Kasich.

Fuck Cruz. And I say this as a (now) former Ted supporter.

They are disgraceful. Total, complete assholes.

An update to the incident a bit ago at Dayton Ohio.

http://www.breitbart.com/video...-at-dayton-oh-rally/

In what was momentarily tense situation Saturday at a campaign rally in Dayton, OH, protesters attempted to interrupt Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump by getting on the stage with Trump.

Secret Service agents surrounded Trump and removed the protester.

***********************

I was watching it live. It was dicey for a few seconds.

The Dayton speech is here:

fast forward to 1 hour 44 minutes to 47 minutes

What happened to the REAL conservatives?

What's a real conservative? How many on this forum? 70K conservatives? Even we can't agree on the definition of a conservative.

That's a great point. That is a point I make to my philosophy-major wife all the time. I have no true way to define it for everyone at this point in our history. Yet, Cruz and others have claimed the high ground to draw a distinction between themselves against Trump. Whatever, it means (whether narrowly or broadly construed), it seems fair to say the Cruz, Rubio and Kasich are not living up to what I believe most would agree to be truly conservative in commenting on last night's event.

The label, as I was using it, is intended to describe those who support the Constitution. And, we are told by Cruz and etc. that they are the keepers of the "true" conservative label.

I now use the term in its broadest sense because it has lost more narrowed edges in common use.

I used it in my post because even in the most narrow sense, the Constitution and Bill of Rights contain some pretty clear principles. Among some of the most clear are free speech and free assembly. Even by the narrowest invocation, Cruz, Rubio and Kasich are not using the opportunity to champion some of our fundamental rights.

To conserve means to keep something from erosion. And, one thing that is happening on our campuses and in society today is a move to European-styled hate speech laws. Campuses are allowing that dangerous principle to erode the notion of tolerance and civility while also justifying all manner of violence and outburst if one is convinced that some speech is subjectively hateful.

Each person is being narcissistically elevated to carry the hecklers veto across our great country in the form of political correctness. Chicago was but an ever-growing degradation of tolerant free speech and assembly in our society.

So, when I used the term "conservative," I was using it in the sense of conserving our foundational principles as found in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

That's the best question right there. It appears even Cruz bought in to the NoTrump deal by the GOPe and News Media...and Fox is leading the way. The power brokers are afraid of losing their stranglehold on the American People...

These bastards always tell you who they fear...and they fear Trump.

I think Trump is probably lactose-intolerant.

What is this supposed to mean?

The same reason the Iranians couldn't get rid of the hostages fast enough when Reagan was elected. He might be crazy. You can't predict what he might do, or say. He has this knack for spooling people up. He might DO something, instead of drawing red lines.

"Why should they fear him?"

A big surprise to me over the last few months is that how wide spread over Dem/Rep/All Media is the desire to keep the borders open and make 12 million illegals into full fledged citizens.

Depends on who you ask. In fact, I'd wager that most on the left are not afraid of Trump (at least not afraid of him getting the nomination) because they completely underestimate him. Most truly believe that there's no way he'd win against Hillary. Well, they'd be dead wrong about that.

But yes, they certainly fear a Trump Presidency, but they fear a Ted Cruz Presidency just as much if not more. At least the more engaged leftist do.

This is all by design and this nation is in a death battle for its soul.

The parties and our courts have sold us out.

Trump is do or die time IMO.

I have been waiting for America to wake up and Trump is doing it.

Watching Trump live in Cleveland Ohio. Totally back as the Donald we love. Last night has energized his former method.

And yet you don't think he deserves any of the blame?

No

And neither do I!!!!!!!!!!!!

This whole incident is a classic example of how the loony left thinks and responds to people/ideas they do not like.

Just invade the venue, disrupt everything, knowing the LSM will blame the host. Trump in this case.

And what a perfect description of those peaceful folks in Chitcago. How many have been killed there so far this year?

Trump shouldn't be getting any blame at all. We have a thing in this country called "personal responsibility" and "freedom of choice". That means if you choose to have a riot at an event then the riot and all the consequences of the riot are on YOU, not on the person holding the event.

I swear, this leftist "nothing is my fault" and "someone else is to blame for my problems and actions" is going to be the death of us all.

If you leave your gun on the front seat of your car in plain view, and someone smashes your window and takes it, we blame the criminal.

You're still an idiot for leaving it there.

In the same way, if Trump knew what he was doing and the likely consequences, then he also bears some responsibility.

I'm sorry but NO.

Does the phrase "grow up" sound familiar! I get it that you don't like Trump as, I am sure, a lot of others here do.

In your weak and inappropriate example, we still have a law in this country that, the last I heard, your car is your possession. And the police nominally have to have a search warrant to enter and search. Some idiot breaking into a locked car to steal anything, even a gun, is larceny, at least. And depending on local laws and the value of the item stolen it could be grand theft. AFAIK, that is a FELONY. And the felony belongs to the asshole who broke the law to take said article.

He is going to be in my little town tomorrow morning. The protesters are already bragging about their numbers.

Wow, that is some 100% lefty blame the victim thought right there. Last I checked Trump was campaigning to be the President of ALL of the United States, not just a part. So since certain segments of the population don't like him, he should stay away? Only hold rallies where the majority likes him? Then what should he do if the thugs protest those rallies? Curl up in a ball and go home?

Trump has absolutly ZERO blame for this. It simply amazes me that people think this way. What's next? You get mugged while wearing a nice watch, you shouldn't wear a watch? A girl gets raped, she shouldn't have dressed a certain way? I am disgusted that people have given in to this PC bullshit.
