“Insulting others seems to have some cathartic affect on them.”
Both sides, Trump/Cruz, say that it’s all about winning back the
White House. Most Cruz supporters say they will vote for Trump,
I know I will. On the other hand , most Trump supporters say they
will not vote for Cruz.
Something is wrong here and it’s a lot more than a
cathartic affect. The definition of liberalism is the
triumph of emotion over common sense.
It may be a little or a lot of both but perspective is
definitely in the back seat.
Sorry. No I didn’t. I realize you were quoting someone else.
I understand that shots are fired from both direction, but for cripes sakes look at the adjectives often used to describe Cruz. They’re so over the top its almost funny.
What has Trump done?
What an ignorant comment.
I don’t think Trump ever held elected office. He was not elected to serve the people. He represented no one but his company back then. This is not complex.
And if he had, and had the same decades long deceitful rotten job performance as the disciples of decline in D.C., I’d want him fired and held responsible too.
Get real.
Btw, Trump has done more for conservatism and changed the politician landscape in the historic election, than any of the corrupt lawyers turned D.C. career politician. No question about it.
“Insulting others seems to have some cathartic affect on them”
You may have missed the post where documented tweets calling Trump supporters every vulgar name under the sun and wishing death on them and calling Trump an “abortion”.
Those were high-profile tweets by the way. Guess even the famous Trump haters need catharsis, right?
“So happy to learn this...now I know how they have moved in on free republic. Meanness seems to be what they all have in common, that a pure hate for Cruz. Unreasonable.”
You’ve learned something based on a rumor,,really? You don’t require proof?
I’d like to go back about 8 mos and find the pro-Jeb supporters too.
Whatever.
“who espoused ideas I mostly agreed with. But he was such a jerk I did not want him on my side.”
So your emotions decide your vote. It’s ok. Just don’t lecture anyone else on logic. Clearly that doesn’t apply in your case.
Hey, we all have our triggers.
Exactly.
“Ya, they can’t simply be concerned Americans who’ve been economically gang banged by the disciples if deceit in D.C. They can’t be millions of Americans who’ve just been beat down by decades of loser leadership, who now suggest that decline in every direction is the new normal.
They must be Trolls! “
Remember not too long ago when Cruz campaigned on running against the “DC Cartel”? He doesn’t do that anymore. Wonder why?
I know for sure Trump is NOT a part of the DC cartel. I know for sure Trump is inspiring a lot of people to throw of the party label shackles and do the right thing for the COUNTRY!
For that I’m called every vile name in the book,,by Cruz supporters. Who btw, never EVER said thank you for all the hard work I did personally to get Cruz in the Senate.
That’s ok. I’ve learned Cruz supporters talk a good game (we’re pro out-sider,,etc) but in reality,,they are pro-establishment all the way baby. All. The. Way.
In the interest of fair disclosure Newb you moved in on FR with these mysterious meanies 7 months ago. So what’s your agenda? FR just seems to be loaded with curious newbies all of a sudden. :-)
I too once suffered from BVS, Battered Voter Syndrome but snapped out of it some years back.
Some folks can't get enough abuse and keep voting for the same do nothing political whores, over and over. They just keep going back for more abuse.
The Trump effect has nearly cured that disorder for most except the severely afflicted.
All along I thought we were trying to keep our Republic from being destroyed by the Socialist. It seems the GOP is the enemy in the eyes of most of the posters on this forum. Do any of you who hate Cruz or Trump so much, realize the Media is eating this up. This election cycle has become a feeding frenzy, goaded on by Liberals.
A lot of fake conservatives on forums are egging on the hatred and nastiness to bring about one end, the election of either Communist Sanders, or Socialist Clinton. They, along with the fake demonstrators at Trump campaigns, are trying to cause the American voter to view either Sanders or Clinton as the least objectionable choice.
Please take a long studious look at where each candidate has stood in the past, and currently stands on issues, and make you decision based upon objective observation, not emotion, brought about by those who name call and demagogue conservative candidates.
Yeah, I missed those. FR and FB represents the whole of my social media activity, and I don’t talk politics on FB. I’m talking about this site.
“loaded with curious newbies all of a sudden”
7 months is all of a sudden?? It is an election cycle!! Maybe our money’s no good to you ???
Anyone can buy accounts. The whole transaction is gray market (often paid for with Bitcoins) so tracing who bought them is difficult. A programmer can create them himself. There were plenty of Ron Paul bots and fake accounts in 2008 and 2012 but Ron Paul may not have had a clue about them. It would only take one pro-Trump programmer to create a whole army of bots, that's kind of the point of bots.
Updated Twitter estimates: 2 million of Trump’s followers are fake, another 3 million are botnet accounts (also fake, but active) 5 million bogus accounts.
Oh I C U are even newbier. :-)
Anyone who first joined in the 21st Century is a newbie. ;-)
I seldom ever comment on folks sign up dates because for the most part it’s irrelevant. But I have not failed to notice what you’re referring to. Yup.
