And perhaps I am not understanding your comment that Trump supporters are not attacking Cruz. I am almost certain I read on this site where people supporting Trump attacked Cruz.
At least they said they were supporting Trump.
I guess I wasn’t as clear as I thought I was when I wrote my post.
For sure Cruz supporters are attacking Trump, and Trump supporters are attacking Cruz. I understand that and I have no issue with that.
The issue is that there is a mass gang-up on one of the candidates or the other. The posts use the same words or at least approach the situation from the same angle, but they come from posters who use different names, giving the impression of a mass spontaneous rise in awareness. Today’s mass gang-up uses the word “sleaze”.
In this election the GOPe is focusing much of its efforts on social media, trying to create an illusion of broad-based support.
When there is a sudden attack on one or the other of the non-GOPe candidates — Trump or Cruz — seemingly from a multitude of directions, and the attack is personal, mocking, and hateful, then it is clear to me that the attack is coming from the GOPe as a way to knock down alternatives to Bush, Rubio and Kasich.
Many of those people who post these attacks claim that they support the other candidate (today it is an attack on Cruz). These claims are not true, in my opinion, and the attacks are a “false flag” operation instead.
