It bothers me to see this internecine war between the supporters of Trump and Cruz. Like it or not, after the dust settles in Cleveland we’re going to need each other’s vote to defeat the real problem, an out of control political system no longer worthy of the names “republic” or “democracy”. Exchanging insults like “trumpbot” or “cruzbot” only makes it that much harder later on to work together. And every obstacle we place in front of ourselves gives aid and comfort to the Democrat nominee, probably Hillary.
We’re all guilty, Trump and Cruz supporters, of violating Reagan’s 11th Commandment during this campaign, to not disparage a fellow Republican. So let’s all try to keep the name-calling to a minimum and like the saying goes, keep our eyes on the prize. If the people choose Trump I will support him. If Cruz is assigned the task by the electorate of taking back the White House I’ll support him equally. What we have to lose if we lose is FAR more important than bruised egos because of juvenile cat-calling.
Oh, and I also promise if the Republican nominee is the result of a manipulated convention, then I will never pull a lever for any candidate with an (R) by his name, because that party will no longer exist...

Yes, you are right, and I have been guilty of this myself.

the situation needs to change, but I am not sure if it can. There is bad blood, and I think it’s going to get much worse.

Right now we are divided, and soon we will be conquered.

"Reagan’s 11th Commandment during this campaign, to not disparage a fellow Republican."

And those who choose to continue to disparage their 'fellow man' -should be looked upon as ingnorant hicks who don't know any better -and should limit themselves- to reading only with no posting.
