Trump’s Virtual Lynch Mob
National Review ^ | April 12, 2016 | Ian Tuttle

Posted on 04/12/2016 6:51:08 PM PDT by reaganaut1

Call it a high-tech lynching.

In the wake of Donald Trump’s being shut out in Colorado — final delegate count: Ted Cruz, 34; Trump, 0 — his fans have formed virtual mobs, and on Sunday a particularly passionate Twitter user tweeted out the home address and phone number of Steve House, chairman of the Colorado GOP.

House’s personal information has been retweeted more than 1,100 times. He says he’s received some 3,000 phone calls, most of them uncomplimentary:

Meanwhile, the same Trump partisan also tweeted information for the state’s national committeewoman, Lily Nuñez, and committeeman, George Leing. Of course, the brave Twitter user in question did all of this anonymously, and lots of other brave people have applauded — also anonymously.

The unsavory Trump fans in question appear to be multiplying: Something similar is already afoot in Indiana, which hasn’t even voted yet. Kyle Babcock, an at-large delegate selected at one of this weekend’s nine congressional-district conventions, made the mistake of explaining to the Indianapolis Star that he would not back Trump, because he believes Cruz stands a better chance against Hillary Clinton in November.

...

There is no indication that the Trump campaign was involved in these threats, but make no mistake: This effort started at the top. After floundering in the Centennial State, Trump took to Twitter to peddle his usual conspiracy theories: “The people of Colorado had their vote taken away from them by the phony politicians. . . . This will not be allowed!” With the help of sympathetic media outlets — the Drudge Report suggested that Iraqi elections were more fair than Colorado’s delegate-selection process) — his false allegations gained traction.

National Review, the magazine, which last month was simply giddy at the thought of White working class neighborhoods dying out. F them.

Really? Drudge isn't a news outlet - he posts links. Really? Which news organizations are sympathetic to Trump? Really? National Review has the gall to print this crap after the Boston Globe goes out of their way to print a fake newspaper to trash Trump.

Who reads this crap? They have totally lost it. Unbelievable.

Sure he has. From what I see Trump and his supporters are acting like thugs. Bunch of whiny little brats that cant have their way.

How is that 75% with women going to decrease if he acts like a bully? Better question is how is he going to get enough votes if he keeps attacking people? How long before there is no one he has not insulted?
