I agree. 100%. What makes all the rancor so ridiculous is that people on this forum are batting each other around to no purpose. Clearly, nobody is going to change anybody’s mind here. This battle isn’t going to take place on an emotion-overloaded forum. It’s going to take place first in Iowa, then New Hampshire, then South Carolina and Nevada, then roll across the remaining states. Whether it’s Cruz or Trump who is the eventual nominee, he is getting my support.
I suspect that the sad thing here is that the people with the most vitriolic remarks on this forum will decide to sit it out if their candidate doesn’t get the nomination. Pure tragedy. No matter who wins the nomination between these two, and it is most likely to be one of them, an inability to support the winner means another Democrat will get elected. Nose, meet knife. America, meet Armageddon.
I applaud anybody supporting either of these candidates. I despair of anybody who would consider throwing the election to Hillary or Sanders because their guy didn’t win the nomination.
Exit question: is it not possible to support your own favorite candidate without trashing the other guy and his supporters, either on this forum or in the political arena?
“Exit question: is it not possible to support your own favorite candidate without trashing the other guy and his supporters, either on this forum or in the political arena?”
It is possible. Do what we always do here. Present your argument, make it factual and intelligent and debate it. That’s what makes FR great.
