Objecting to your candidate's track record and words is a personal insult to you? Sorry, but that's a leftist "PC" standard - you're going to find yourself "insulted" a lot in life.
"Liberal", or progressive, is a generalization which covers Trump's past policy positions, i.e. earlier than 2013, which is the date some news reports mark as the day Trump told confidants that he intended to run for President.
My main point has been, and continues to be, that no matter how you feel about your candidate, YOU ARE NEVER JUSTIFIED in attacking other conservative FReepers. It doesn't even matter if you were "attacked" first, and I use those quotes because you imply disagreeing with your candidate means attacking his supporters.
At this point, I'm anti-Trump, mainly - and I mean this honestly - due to the vitriol of the Trump supporters on this forum. I've written long winded posts explaining my transformation from "open to Trump" to my position now, but regardless, I haven't committed to a candidate and haven't said I'm not voting in November.
I'll probably have "concerns" and "questions" about any candidate I'll eventually support. However, I'll have a difficult time supporting a potty mouthed bully, who attacks every GOP conservative candidate with charges like "liar", "low energy", "nasty", "bubble boy", and so forth.
And now I'm just so incapable of looking at his past, that means I'm some kind of weakling.
Got it.
There IS a conservative case for Trump. I was a Cruz supporter until about a month ago, and as much as Trump persuaded me, the Cruzers (as opposed to Cruz supporters) and their vitriol helped nudge me over the line. Way over the line.
I'm happy to vote for Cruz if he wins, we're close to a tipping point on this election, and to go scorched earth on Trump as you (and the Cruzers) are doing is not going to help. It is likely he will be the presumptive nominee in less than two weeks, so I'd suggest you back off the scorched earth tactics.
