It is called ire. Most of us are outraged at Cruz for siding with the thugs against Trump. Rush wants to rationalize it by saying, “Hey, it is a campaign”. He did not say that when Trump criticized Cruz over ethanol in Iowa.
I understand “IRE”, but not the unmitigated vitriol, it’s to where I don’t want to read past the article to comments because of the sometimes ridiculous or flat out hateful responses. People, well most anyway, used to be able to respond to each other in at least a more civil if sarcastic way. I say this not putting onus on one side more than the other, it’s equally nasty in a manner that used to be reserved for democrats.
