They only have the weak argument that "at least it is not Hillary."

Ben Shapiro makes an excellent point:

He's too late. Conservatism can't be taken any further to the left than it already has.

But Shapiro misses a greater point. Only the States are going to be able to win this battle, not any Conservative President. Any so-called conservative platform that does not include a radical return to State sovereignty, including the right to secede, is wasting its time.

Bingo.
It will take either some Governors will guts or a threat of seccession by Texas to end this Federal Tyranny.
And I do not see either happening.

It will happen only if Christians step up to the plate, like Christians of the past, and lead such a movement. We should not do so with the illusion that we can build utopia here, but to create a new government that can't be used as the agency of godless freaks to institutionalize the vilest immorality.

Your primary opponents will be "Christians".

Doubt it will happen this generation. In three or four? It will be inevitable. But until then, we need patience and a steady, forward march, generation by generation, continuing to withdraw from this socialist Antichrist system, and building our own, independent, Christian society.

We've done this before, we will do it again. So, the future's actually bright.

Christians? Like the kind supporting Trump? If it is these same people, don't look for any meaningful change.

Again, you don't see that the Executive Branch is only supposed to play a limited role. Christians are voting for Trump mainly for what he won't do, that is, he won't allow illegals to continue to flood in. There is not another GOP candidate who took the stand he did on that, not even Cruz.

If you want real change, stop obsessing over the Executive and join the State sovereignty movement.

The bolded is completely and factually untrue.

There is no evidence that the GOP Nominee will do anything to curb the flow of illegal immigration. There is actually more evidence he will continue things as they are. He's on record praising obama's immigration record! He's made statements showing he will not be as strong against illegal immigration as he claims. As I've stated before, there won't be a wall, nor will there be any new enforcement or deportations. It will continue business as usual, because the GOP Nominee is a business man, and illegal immigration is good for his business.

As for him vs Cruz...the only thing the GOP Nominee has done is co-opted other politicians immigration policies. Cruz is on the record as opposing illegal immigration. The GOP Nominee has talked a good game, but has ZERO evidence or record to back it up. Cruz has the record showing his opposition to illegal immigration.
