I agree with you on one thing [and probably a lot more ...]
This is a moment when we should remove the campaign pom-poms and put on the ‘critical thinking’ hat most of the time.
This is a post-election cycle, not a campaign cycle.
Look at how many posts are on this thread trying to claim no one in Trump’s camp would ever think to read FR.
What’s the point of that pom pom charade.

“This is a post-election cycle, not a campaign cycle.”
I believe I may have to steal this because that one statement hits precisely what I feel is happening. A large segment here on FR have taken us completely away from our most obvious principled conservative beliefs by remaining in continual attack mode (aka campaign mode) vs. saying to themselves “what did he just say?”
What tips it off is when the immediate rebuttal to ANY argument is Cruz this or you must be a Cruzbot. When that has nothing to do with the content being discussed. In fact that is what Alinsky liberal radicals do. They deflect then attack the messenger. I’d rather they just come out and call me a tea bagger because at least I’ll then know where they are coming from. Not this pseudo conservatism
