The blind Trump-haters/Cruz supporters continue to tirelessly parrot GOPe propaganda, and well as enthusiastically indulging in their masturbatory demonization of Donald Trump.
By fomenting such vicious hatred, these dupes play directly into the hands of the Left, Media, GOPe, and Establishment in general, becoming willing tools in an unprecedented and slanted character assassination campaign against the GOP frontrunner.
But at least such reckless hate doesn't seem to have much influence on the informed members of this forum...

Well said. All I can say is, they're very lucky that JimRob doesn't allow me access to the Zot 9000. This place would quiet down overnight.
Trump and Cruz between them have essentially 100% of FR support. Cruz and Trump agree far more than 80% of the time (see my tagline from Ronald Reagan). They should be friends and allies, and we should treat both of them as such.
I’m voting Trump because I want a first ballot victory at the convention. No, I don’t believe Cruz can win on the second ballot; I believe if it gets that far the nomination will go to a pro-Amnesty insider like Rubio/Kasich/Jeb/Christie, and that would be bad for America.
Yeah, I was just observing last night before I logged off how much the General Tone of FR had improved after that big “Cruz and Trump poster truce” thread last week.

Okay, put in your own /sarc.
On the bright side, I’m lurking (plus scrolling past DELTA SIERRA posters) so much more now, I’m saving all kinds of time for vital stuff...like sorting sock drawers.
I did a very detailed analysis of the posting patterns and comments of the Trump and Cruz supporters on the main election thread during the most recent voting (Arizona and Utah). Flaming, derogatory posts toward Cruz outweighed similar posts toward Trump by about six to one. (The actual numbers were 82 to 13.) Yet the Cruz supporters are maligned as the ones who are causing the majority of the problem.
I posted the analysis, but it was pulled as “under review”. It never showed back up. One wonders whether it would have been pulled if the results had been the opposite.
I think that the declining numbers in the FR Caucus for Cruz probably reflect the growing frustration with being constantly berated, having posts pulled, or being banned for saying that they will not vote for Trump in the general if he is the nominee.
I think that the site has become an echo chamber in which the Trump supporters think that their guy is more popular than he actually is. My two cents.
“I think that the site has become an echo chamber in which the Trump supporters think that their guy is more popular than he actually is.”
Trump is ahead of Cruz by millions of votes, and is far ahead in the delegate count. I’m afraid he’s every bit as popular as the FR Caucus indicates.
Statewide and national polls have also borne that out, throughout the race. Ted’s just not as popular as you think he is.
