I want to be clear that I don't think Trump is the devil. I hate when people demonize an opponent. I don't see any reason to do that.  I'm just really bummed out because I felt like our time had finally arrived with Cruz and I'm just dumbfounded that these posters I have admired for so many years seem to have lost their everlovin minds. I keep telling myself I'm in the majority, I'm in the majority. Lol.

You are, but it's a generational issue. The older one gets, the further away from speaking out on the web.
Meaning many on the right don't even bother with computers, but 30 and under it's nearly 100% and they are vocal and tend to be emotional.

Problem is, they never knew Reagan or the commie threat, they didn't experience LBJ they only see a cultural decay since Clinton, and Trump speaks out for them, but luckily they are a small percentage of the right, vocal no doubt, but small.

Solar, Trump is so transparent, how can anyone be so blind not to see.  My own brother is an evangelical. He lives at church. I told him that Trump told him everything he needed to know about him when he said that he doesn't ask God for forgiveness. My brother says well that's not literally what he meant and I'm all WTH that's what he said! It's like every Trump fanatic has their own secret decoder ring that tells them what Trump really meant when Trump slips and shows his liberal panties.

I think some are looking for pie in the sky and it's not there in Trump.

OK, a decoder ring? That was more than a little funny...

One of my favorite quotes from Ronald Reagan -
To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last - but eat you he will.

They think Trump is that person and all they have to do is sit back and he is going to fix everything and they don't have to do anything but cash in on all his wonderful promises. That's why they are so quick to jump on the bandwagon in blaming Cruz for stealing delegates, cuz they weren't supposed to have to do anything but wear their silly Trump hat and cheer.

Freeman, if you are from my board then you probably know who I am now   

He has viewed the election like he views potential investments. Whatever works.

Not 42?

Sounds like something we have been saying all along. Trump/Hillary plan coming together.

Like so many in that range, he's angry. He 's seen what America used to look like, yet still young enough to suffer a leftist agenda unabated for the next 3 decades.
No, his reaction is not Conservative, if it were he'd support the Constitutional Conservative candidate running, instead he's being emotional and seeking revenge on the GOP'e and to Hell with the side effects.

Yes, I've seen it many times, but if you ask the right questions, you can turn them around, I have.

There are times when people just wont listen to their family or friends. No matter how much family or friends try to give a warning, the person just becomes "deaf". Unfortunately this may be the situation with your brother and you regarding your warning about Trump.

Id recommend you suggest to your brother that he listen to Mark Levin. If your brother objects, just tell him to give Levin a listen just once because what could it hurt to just try to give a listen to one show. As long as your brother has turned into a full fledged hypnotized Trumpbot, Levin should be able to save him before its to late.

I'm in the same boat.  I'm also dumbfounded about the Trump supporters.  I've never liked the guy, long before he even decided to run.

This is my signature here, and I feel the same way about Trump voters;

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but the citizens capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.

I also am amazed at the level of support trump gets, I too am from another forum , a place where I really thought the majority of Conservatives were pretty much like minded. To see the hate for Cruz and the absolute worship of Trump, even from the admin of that site, is sad.
I went against my own rule and had it on Fox yesterday, listened to O'reilly tell the world that Trump WILL be the nominee, that his YUGE win in NY sealed the deal.. I laughed until I finally turned off the TV.  there was someone else trying to tone down O'reilly's enthusiasm, tried to remind him that it is far from over and that it hinged on how Indiana went, he finally agree but followed it up with how he doesn't see how the RNC can not elected trump as he is the "leader"
