I’m saying that they have all been thrown under the bus, even though they haven’t endorsed anyone.

Such is the sensitivity of Trump supporters.

Even a simple, true comment (e.g. “Trump is inarticulate”) is met with rage and name calling.

I didn't throw Rush under the bus, he threw me under the bus, and it wasn't this year over Trump, it was in 1993 over NAFTA. It just took me a decade to figure it out.

Thank you, I now understand what you were trying to say. I am not trying to challenge you in this post despite a difference in our points of view. However stating that “Trump is inarticulate” is not really a good example. Copying from an online dictionary:

“adjective: inarticulate
1. unable to speak distinctly or express oneself clearly.
“he was inarticulate with abashment and regret”

synonyms: tongue-tied, lost for words, unable to express oneself”

I do know what you mean, but Trump is anything but inarticulate. He does however speak on the stump as if he has a limited vocabulary which I am sure is intentional. He knows that the vote of someone who is capable of understanding only at a 4th grade level counts the same as those of us with a more developed vocabulary.

So I believe that a “simple, true comment that will still get you attacked would be (e.g. “Trump speaks like a 4th grader”). That would be more accurate in my view.
