That was my experience too. Only I was still supporting both Trump and Cruz at the time. I didn't openly start to support Trump until Ted joined with Rubio at that one debate 4 weeks ago
My supposed sin was not hating Trump as much as they did. So they tried to read in to my comments things that were never said or implied.
Ditto here.
I started out with Carson. The level of out and out hate for anyone not Cruz pretty much soured me in Oct 2015. It was not because I dislike Cruz but because his supporters demonstrated a complete inability to win over anyone not all ready in the Cruz Choir loft.
