Just remember that every vote not cast in protest or for a third party candidate and not Trump was brought on by the republican party and if Hillary is elected it's not the fault of the people that didn't vote for Trump. The blame lies squarely on the inept elected republicans during at least the last 8 years if not more.
I would disagree. No one is responsible for your vote except you. Same as pulling the trigger, once you do it, nobody but you is responsible for the result.

Democrat POTUS=Democrat SCOTUS=2nd amendment take notice. It's not a Hillary or Trump thing. It's a Republican, Democrat, and SCOTUS thing. And the 2nd amendment isn't the only thing that will continue to suffer if Democrats get the White House in 2017. We were warned about Obama and chose to ignore it. Look where that's taken us. I respect Ted Cruz and wish the best for him and his family.

I think that would be as good of a ticket as it gets. Probably won't happen, but you never know.
I'd rather see Cruz in a SCOTUS seat.
I agree! Of course as you know Republicans have to win the White House for that to happen.

The die has been cast. Trump as the Republican nominee puts Clinton in the White House. For those of us that still care, the focus needs to shift to Congress. If the House & Senate swing Democrat, Clinton will have a blank check with which to cause irreparable harm. Our only hope will be for Congressional majority opposition. Not that holding a majority has really done us absolute good so far. But it could have been worse.

My biggest concern is the ground work that Trump is laying for future elections. What television super star is going to save the day next? Kanye West?

This should give folks something to think about. As you read this, take note of whom one of the old guard GOP politicians is planning to support. Ironically, McCain is part of the reason Trump was ever a possibility.

Correction Edit: Did a Google search and it looks like it is one of McCain's top aides that plans to support Clinton. Not sure about McCain's position.

So, would you sacrifice your gun rights and many other freedoms just to show that you didn't really like Trump? Cause that's what we will get if we don't all band together and support whoever that has an actual chance of beating her!!

I'm a Ted Cruz guy but gotta vote for Trump now, Hitlary or Bernie is not an option. You know what you're getting with Hitlary, Trump might screw up and do the right thing once in a while. I think Trump can be influenced in a positive direction, Hitlary not so much.

Regardless who we vote for for president, we need to make sure we support ALL constitutional liberty minded candidates that have and will stand on principle. The scariest thing at this point is the fact our last hope in Congress and we know how that's been working,

It was us who picked McCain, you will recall. Romney, too.
They would never have made it on American Idol, or Arsenio.

That may be true of McCain, but not Romney. The democrats tied up the 2012 Texas primary in court. It was scheduled for March 1. It didn't actually happen until May 29, after the race for the republican nomination was effectively over.
