Oh, I don’t know 2DV - I know there is a huge backing for Ted Cruz on FR.

Ted Cruz’s supporters are just more polite and tend to “sit back” when swarmed by commenters who post over the top personal insults (I know first hand) - a tactic done to divert attention away from serious issues and from candidate vetting, by dragging the tenor of debate into a brawl.

I resemble that remark.

Probably puts a good dent in the outcome of the ongoing FR caucus as well, in addition to online polls not being "scientific".

I like you too, but trolling is trolling, even if you dress it up to look like support for another candidate.

You are so right about “sitting back.” I was called a bimbo on another forum and I haven’t commented there again. I realize that as a Cruz supporter I need to grow a thicker skin, but I’m not there yet.

All to say that I admire and appreciate you, and I am hoping that in Iowa at least that the Trump support is not big, just loud.
