Right on, Jim, and full speed ahead! I can agree with pretty much everything you said. And it is sad that a lot of people here have turned on Mark Levin, some were downright rude to him when he come on a thread one night, and I was ashamed, seriously! However, like you said, I hope they’ll come along soon.
Michael Reagan was another one who has been slapped by some of Donald’s supporters. All over his “Facebook” page, there were some of the nastiest people with the nastiest comments aimed at Michael, and it was disgusting! I understand people being impatient with people who don’t go along with Donald. I was very conflicted myself, with a lot of Donald’s behavior on the campaign trail! The nasty, mean, bullying by some (not all) of Donald’s supporters needs to stop, yes, but other Republicans need to get behind him, whether they like him or not, because we do need to stop Hillary, heaven forbid! We can’t do another convention and choose another candidate, it’s too late now!
I did however, felt better about D. Trump, when he had the good sense to choose Gov. Pence for a running mate! Also, I had read about many kind, gracious things Donald has done in private, and I appreciate those. (example: helping the Marine stuck in Mexican prison, among other things) I’ve observed that Trump seems to be the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of politics!
He has his Dr. Jekyll moments when he does kindly, gracious things. Then, unfortunately, there’s the Mr. Hyde that attacks his political opponents, and some t.v. personalities such as: Michele Malkin - referring to them as stupid, and making fun of the way Gov. Kasich eats, and insinuating Carly Fiorina was ugly!
Then he was getting on Twitter and spreading rumors about people, saying things like he said about Ted Cruz’s dad, (involved in killing Pres. Kennedy) making nasty comments about Ted Cruz’s wife’s looks, etc..! At least he’s toned it all down recently, and that’s good, so we’ll see?

Aw, gee? People were rude to Levin? And just because he has an irrational hatred of our candidate and therefore is working to get the most vile, corrupt, evil candidate ever to walk this Earth elected instead? How could we POSSIBLY react to that with... gasp... rudeness?
I’d have given these clowns a break if they had only acted like petulant little children UP TO the point where Trump actually got the nomination and their “ideal conservative” Ted was shipped home from the convention in disgrace. Afterwards? There’s no excuse for their behavior. None.
What happened here? Free Republic used to have hard core patriots on this site.
Now were upset about “nasty, mean, bullying, bad behavior”?
What happened here, did we all suddenly become pussies?
Politics is warfare without the bullets people; toughen up or just shut the f#ck up and get out.
This is trench and spider hole warfare people; flashlights and 45’s, bayonets and helmet strap pulling, wire stretched between two pieces of wood and a throat.
You want gracious, go to a Goddamn garden party; you want to win, be prepared to KILL up close, messy, and personal.
I WANT TO WIN; F#CK THEIR FEELINGS, and f#ck yours.
When I go into a fight, I go into it to win; and yes, I will lie, cheat, and kill to win.
The object of a real fight is to WIN.
Just remember, THE WINNER GETS TO MAKE THE RULES, and WRITE THE HISTORY.
