“I’m 100% for Trump, but respect Cruz.”
I’m 100% for Trump, but don’t respect Cruz. The dirty tricks, flat-out lies by Cruz and his minions and his revolting preacher act disgust me.
In addition, the behavior of his supporters here is similarly reprehensible. Going by the daily Free Republic caucus, the Trump supporters outnumber the Cruz supporters here more than 2 to 1. Yet the Cruzers routinely, daily, post dozens of anti-Trump threads, parroting every anti-Trump article in the MSM in an attempt to discourage Trump’s followers and bring the man down. That and the charming little names they come up with for Trump supporters makes me think they’re either leftist trolls, or are so far right that they’ve met up with their cousins on the left.
So... no. We CAN’T just all “get along.” I don’t WANT to get along with these people, or even be on the same board with them. Hopefully when / if their candidate loses, they’ll just drift on over to DU so they can all put their great brains together in an attempt to figure out some way to beat Trump in the general election.
The name calling like your post and many Cruz posters don’t help anyone.
End of the day, Politics is blood sport, if anyone regardless of who they back are going to get their panties in a bunch because folks involved in the game are playing what they feel are dirty pool, they really don’t get politics at all.
I’ve been called all sorts of names over the 20+ years I’ve been here... Usually because I am advocating a viewpoint that is not an ideological knee jerk, by someone, or someones involved in an ideological knee jerk. I’ve been called a communist, a liberal, and told to go to DU more times than I can count whenever I just put forth a reasonable counter proposal to what I feel are irrational arguments.
I don’t hate Cruz, and I don’t love Trump, but where our nation is today, someone needs to tell the Kingmakers enough is enough, and I don’t see how that happens with anyone who’s taken their money getting the White House. This nation has gotten to the point where liberal v conservative is the small game.... We are talking about the very future of our country as a free and independent state... and the path to it failing ends up in the same place at this point regardless of which party wins because neither one of them put America first.
If you ask me, America first, or Conservatism first.. America will win that battle every time. Both parties have strayed so far afield that neither one of them are doing what should be the absolute baseline... PUT AMERICA FIRST... PERIOD. You can’t have an ideological debate about what is the best course of action to solve America’s problems, if neither side is even willing to admit or focus on America’s problems and issues! At this point to me the liberal v conservative debate is bread and circuses.. both have shown they don’t give a damn about america and neither are putting her best interests first... so to try to frame this election in those terms is just bread and circuses.
+1000!
