Trump is the party's nominee.  As such, he got to decide who spoke at his convention.

Bull Shit! Show the rules book!

QuoteHe has every right to ban sleazy journalists from his event.  That's not a restriction on free speech.

You wanted an example, and now you deny it even exists?

QuoteThis is a long video in which Stefan Molyneux walks through what Trump said and then what the sleazy media reported.  You don't have to watch the whole thing.  Just a few minutes shows that the media really IS irresponsible as Trump claimed.

You need a video to help your denial of the obvious? You see, you are exactly why Trump will lose, you never held him to his word, you run block for the deviant at every turn and refuse to recognize he's a life ling lib that has always supported the Clinton's.

He stated quite clearly he doesn't need the Conservative vote, the very people on this forum, he then goes out and courts the Sander's socialist/Progressive base.
Now he's gone a step further with his leftist childcare on top of his socialist Trumpcare, a revamped Commiecare like that of Obozocare, and still you refuse to wake the fuck up because you still think he's somehow better than Hillary?
The candidates at this point are irrelevant because no matter who is in the WH, the GOP is going to giveaway the farm and for them Trump is the perfect tool.
Why do you think the RNC fought so hard to keep Cruz out?

We don't know Trump WON'T be a racist. We'd be damned fools if we bet against it, based on the bilge he's spewed thus far.

We DO KNOW he's not a racist.  Yelling "racist" is a favorite tactic of libs.  Why are you doing it, quiller?  Are you a lib?

We know because the liberal media passionately hates Trump and brightly illuminates every fact they can find that makes him look bad and then they twist the remaining truth to look bad and then they make stuff up.  You know this.  We've all seen it.

He's hired thousands and thousands of people.  If his hiring practices or anything else revealed racist tendencies, it would lead the news.  That news would break even in front of terrorist bombings.

Bilge?

So you idiots would vote for that skank instead???? LOLOL

I don't know where the rulebook is either, but before the convention it was questioned and discussed endlessly in the news who Trump would allow to speak and whether Cruz would endorse him so he could speak and whether Trump would allow Cruz to speak even if he doesn't endorse.

It sounds like you're accusing me of making that up, but I didn't.

You sound like you're seething with rage against Trump.  He definitely has faults, but you must not realize how critically dangerous the national situation is and how deadly the alternative is.

After Walker dropped out, Cruz became my top pick too.  But Cruz didn't win the primary.  There is ZERO chance Cruz will be elected in November.  And Cruz's failure to endorse Trump after he promised to endorse whoever became the Republican nominee has been called a "slow motion political suicide."

I sure hope you never-Trumpers take a breath and open your eyes before you vote so you don't get us all killed.

#1.  Cruz had obtained enough delegates in over eight states to be eligible to speak at the Convention.  He didn't need Donny's permission.

#2   The Rules Committee broke their own rules at the Convention and did not allow a roll call; there were plenty of delegates who objected to Trump.  That in itself confirmed that Trump is nothing more than a siphon for the DEMS; derail the conservative movement and hijack the GOP enabling Clinton to become president.

I refuse to vote for Trump or Hillary because I refuse to vote for anyone whom I feel will continue this country on its current path of destruction.  Those idiots who voted for him in the primary ARE RESPONSIBLE for what happens to this country going forward.

Then why are you posting it as if it were fact when you have no idea what you're talking about? Cruz had every right to speak at the RNC convention as per rules.

Don't assume, I merely pointed out your ignorance on the matter.

QuoteYou sound like you're seething with rage against Trump.  He definitely has faults, but you must not realize how critically dangerous the national situation is and how deadly the alternative is.

Damn Right!!! He;'s a God Damned Fraud! An admitted lib, but then, the fact that you support him exposes two issues, one, you're a lib and two, ignorant of history.

Walker is a full blown RINO, always has been. Cruz isn't running, so your point is moot.
Your BS claim about Cruz promising to endorse Trump is the weakest excuse you libs ever came up with.
Was that before or after Trump went after Heidi, or Ted's father, accusing him of being tied to the murder of JFK?
Sure, you conveniently forget what a scum ball Trump is and the worst you can come up with is Cruz broke a promise?
Did you forget how Trump tried to use the courts to steal an elderly widows home? I dare you to find dirt on Cruz, the guy that isn't even running.

QuoteI sure hope you never-Trumpers take a breath and open your eyes before you vote so you don't get us all killed.

Honestly speaking, I trust Hillary in that area far more than the incompetent Trump.

No, we're not voting for Trump.

OR the other skank Hillary. 

Eric Erickson has a pretty good take on "Reconsidering Donald Trump", and ends up with this:

http://theresurgent.com/coming-to-terms-with-trump/

QuoteI think Hillary Clinton will do lasting damage to the country. I cannot vote for her.

Having reconsidered my opposition to Trump, I think Donald Trump will do lasting damage to the witness of the Church in America and I therefore cannot vote for him.

I am without a candidate. I just cannot vote for either one. Whichever is elected, it is God's will and as his holy and inerrant scripture commands, I will pray for my President as I pray for the current President. But I will not harm my witness nor risk Trump's soul to serve my political desires.

The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. I do not believe a vote for either candidate glorifies God and I am certain neither advances his kingdom.

Amen.

A Christian has no Justification for voting in Trump, Clinton, Johnson.

Barring something sensational, either Trump or Clinton WILL BE president.  We the people get to choose which.  Not voting or voting for someone else will have no effect.

Trump at least MIGHT start to set things straight.  Hillary most definitely will keep us on the path to destruction.

How can a Christian justify not voting for Trump?

8 years of  Hillary and the  Christian vote will be meaningless tripe for all time to come.
