Actually, I won't, as I am spending less and less time here, and evaluating whether I even belong here any more.
If you think the presence of people who inspired that graphic was helping Cruz, well...
Are the similarities there?
I don’t know if Trump is that much of a douche. Guess we’ll find out, since I’m really not seeing how he loses at this point.
Trump supporters have nothing more to offer than clever Photoshops. Like Trump himself, there is no substance, and you can’t make something out of nothing. You can’t possibly expect them to argue facts and logic.
Oh, and by the way, that number is probably closer to 40%.
Mitt Romney had 93% of the Republican turnout in 2012.
Best people I ever knew, at least my Father was and they could never admit FDR wasn’t who they thought he was.
Interesting word, well applied!

Clueless as what you are talking about....
What I am aware of is a mind boggling vile attack on the character and integrity of Ted Cruz that sounds more akin to the unhinged denizens of DU than ANYTHING I ever expected on this forum.
If they piss you off enough to just sit it out, and Trump wins the nomination but loses the general election you'll get blamed for Hillary getting elected.
So? I lack the words to express how little that worries me.
Think the objective from most Trump supporters is to eliminate any dissenting information or other opinions that do not hew the line of ‘correct’ speech.
See fewer and fewer analysis articles posted.
I have begun skipping threads where anything other than the conformity of thought is prohibited by name calling, obfuscation, pejorative posts.
As you stated before the people that can disagree with the article and with a normal discussion, “Think they have left the building.”
And it is his fault if Trump loses?
Same or worse personality type in Trump, but no coherent ideology, so there’s no telling what direction he will go in.
Agreed! Thought I was alone with that perception.
Use to be.
“the-best-predictor-future-behavior-is-past-behavior.”
I don't think so.
I’ve been thinking the same thing. I don’t remember it being this nasty in ‘08 and ‘12. The noobs are something else and the FReepers with old sign on dates yet dead posting histories are pretty annoying also. FR has evolved the past few months. I hope the noobs and the long forgottens can keep this place financially situated, because I’m sure rethinking that angle.
Don-O, it never ceases to amaze me that the folks who have demonized Trump for eight months, are now upset because some folks are criticizing their man.
I wanted Cruz on the Trump ticket initially. I had a very favorable opinion of him. And then the incessant trashing of Trump started and I began to have second thoughts about Cruz.
I was never against seeing the things Trump had done. It was having to address those thing five times per day to various well meaning people that finally convinced me I was dealing with people who couldn’t deal with rejection.
Do I like some of Trump’s beliefs from years ago? No. I don’t. How many times do I have to tell the same person over and over, that Trump now has a solid pro second amendment stance, that everyone recognizes is top notch.
The very same day another person posts them same “Trump is anti-second amendment” nonsense and you have to trot out the same defense. The next day you have to do it three times. The next only two, and the day after that four time.
After eight months, the same articles, the same breathless gasps... folks, we’ve covered it.
We ARE NOT buying it. His platform looks good to us. Sorry you don’t agree.
As for Ted, I wouldn’t back him for dog catcher at this point. He and his supporters have made the words “Ted Cruz” cringe-worthy.
As witnessed by today’s articles, the Cruz folks are still on the same kick. “Just one more day of posting the same old things... that’ll do the trick!” Ah, no it won’t.
I know you folks mean well and are just trying up until the last minute to help Ted, but that last minute was weeks ago.
He is politically beyond hope at this point.
We tried to tell you after Iowa, that it was over. You thought we were just lying to help Trump. No, we were trying to get folks back to reality. The massive lop-sided polls, the massive Trump rallies, the seeming public opinion...
Folks, what can I do to get through to you?
I tried every nice way I could think of.
Regarding your post #51: Doesn’t that fit in quite nicely with Trump’s ideas on common sense speech control?
I think that's good.
