"Cruz bots had posted this agenda poll atleast 20 times, since it came out. After having Post Graduate Degree in Statistics and Mathematics, God very difficult to explain anything to dumb Cruz bots.

Education is important, don’t drop out of college. - jennychase

Jenny, your MS degree should have taught you something about classical logic. Ad hominem attacks, preemptive or otherwise, do not prove arguments. They do not WIN arguments.

They DO divide and alienate. They do NOT win elections for conservatives.

Also, your insinuation that the OP was uneducated and ignorant for supporting Cruz is the FAVORITE, insulting argument of progressives and atheists against Christian Conservatives. Why on earth would you want to associate yourself with such an argument?

This tactic DOES follow a different script, however.

#5 "Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon."

#13 "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy."

Alinskyite tactics are inconsistent with conservationism, which is why may conservatives are so opposed to Trump. I don't know about Trump, but we FReepers are better than that.

I'd suggest that in principle, pejorative, marginalizing terms like "Cruzers", "Cruz-bots", "Trump bots", "Trumppets", and so on ought never to be used on FreeRepublic. I hope you agree.

FReegards!

Logically, you don’t repeat the same process over and over again and expect different results.

Your assumption that many conservatives don’t support Trump is illogical as polling internals tell you otherwise, amongst other things.
