I’m sorry you are upset by my behavior. I do admit to jumping into the fray with the Trump supporters. I learned very early that there is little chance for civil dialog when you’re not only not a supporter of Trump but are put off by his behavior. Almost to a FReeper, I was identified as GOPe. And if they didn’t call me that, they dissed me in other ways. No one ever wanted to have an exchange with me as to why I consider him so odious. So I gave up and joined the food fight.

These past few months on FR have been almost like being on a liberal site trying to have an exchange of ideas. There’s no such thing. Liberals don’t exchange ideas with anyone who’s not of their political philosophy. After this experience, I have come to understand that the same is true here at my favorite website. “Conservatives” become extremely means-spirited and disrespectful when you speak against Trump. You seem to have a blind spot when it comes to the nastiness posted by those people. Is that behavior troubling? Is that nastiness necessary in the long run? Just curious.

I understand what you are saying, but Trump supporters see the same thing you see regarding Cruz supporters.

I would vote for either. I have held myself back, you can look at my posting history, from knocking either one.

Right now, they both exist because both still exist. One goes, the other goes and we get Jeb.

The election is still over a year away, why knock out friendly competetion?

Carson won’t win, but he is a player in this. As he still should be. Getting rid of the establishment is my goal.

Whatever it takes is good by me.

If you want a forum where everyone has the screen names "Shirley Temple" and "Elsie Dinsmore", then this ain't the place for you and your delicate feelings.

Man up!
