You are projecting. It is TRUMP supporters who are rude, snarky, , disrespectful, nasty, and emotional. They emulate their favorite.
Cruz supporters are rational, honest, even tempered and conciliatory with the occasional good word toward Trump for his forthright language.
Ted Cruz is NO threat. He's a dead man walking and every campaign knows it. He won't be taken seriously by any of them any more.
The folks you describe are in for a most profound disappointment.
FR has been hijacked by a bunch of non-conservatives
Rubio has his faults, it is true. But, at least they don’t involve being an overbearing, narcissistic, dissembling, bombastic, nasty evil joke of a candidate.
You are absolutely the worst observer of human behavior in the world!

Ron Paul’s cult melded with the DUmpster Divers.
I guess winning is more important than principles or any kind of concept of conservatism. Smear those who dare criticize The Donald at all costs.
It is how Trump runs his campaign, so it is how his supporters do their supporting.
There are people here who are still attacking Scott Walker.
When Rush Limbaugh says anything with an anti-Trump slant (even though he is pretty neutral), Rush has suddenly jumped the shark.
Mark Levin might as well be Nancy Pelosi.
And the big one: the Pope is no longer Catholic.
OTOH, Ann Coulter is back in good graces.
There’s a common belief amongst Trump supporters, despite any evidence (and trust me, I’ve asked for some), that Cruz supporters “started it” by attacking Trump supporters.
The reality is that the real animosity started the day Cruz said something about Trump’s New York values and how Cruz had different values. That’s when the knives came out.
After that, Trump shot back that Cruz was “nasty,” a term which his supporters have repeated endlessly, along with how he’s a “liar,” another term that Trump loves (probably because he is one).
Now, we have some of these so-called “conservatives” actively hoping and wishing that Cruz will lose his Senate seat in 2018, which would be just great for the RINOs in the Senate.
So what it really comes down to is not politics - it’s entertainment. Most of these people aren’t voting for a candidate, they’re rooting for a football team.
Flooding our nation with illegals and yearly trade deficits which lead to trillions in national debt aren’t considered conservative values any longer.
“Is Cruz getting slammed merely because he is running against Trump?”
Lets clear this up. In case you have been out of the country for the last few weeks Ted Cruz has been caught up in a dirty trix campaign in the primaries that started in Iowa and has run through SC. As his campaign loses steam he has now resorted to just outright lying about other candidates most notably Trump. He sounds shrill and desperate. Not a winning combo for President.
Last night after the debate Cruz said he would support Rubio over Trump so I guess he was agains’t amnesty before he was for it. He’s a flawed candidate and most people on FR have recognized it.
Didn’t you hear that Ted Cruz is the biggest liar in the planet in the worst person in the world?
You would be surprised how many very conservative Christian people are planning to vote for Trump
I dont post my support because of post number 3. This person attacked Cruz supporters with out any Cruz supporters posting. Claiming they were emotional. Reading this post shows who is emotional
Just not worth my time to refute emotional people like that.
Sorry I meant post number 2.
I’m a Trump supporter who would vote for Cruz if he got the nod. What I have found most is that most Trump supporters (not all, but most) actually do support Cruz. In fact, we would have liked to see Trump/Cruz 2016, and Cruz/Carson/Rubio/etc. 2024. However, as has been previously mentioned upthread, once Cruz realized Trump wasn’t going anywhere, he came out swinging. I believe Trump is correct to respond. It really is that simple. Cruz is losing. Rubio is losing, and now they are just getting desperate.
Why would I support someone who isn't eligible for the office for which he's running?
