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.

You evidently have not been reading posts by Cruz supporters. A few days ago they were threatening people.
