If you have actually seen her I will have no choice but to belive this. Have you?

This is the purpose of the Trump Derangement Syndrome, to troll against him, and his supporters, to demoralize and discourage voting at all if not for their candidate.

I am not following Cruz threads. I don’t troll Cruz threads, with media driven anti-Cruz rants or their talking points.

I trolled CW this morning, over to a nice quiet holy thread in order to see what the heck happened to CW, after having posted this free for all here, and then running off. The difference in tone was night and day, from here to there.

These incitement threads are the doing of CW, who never names her candidate, but posts articles, asking us to convince her/him/it, that we can prove a negative! LOL!!

I am just not seeing Trump supporters behave like this, or go after Cruz on personalities, name calling, or with media driven talking points.

Cruz has been criticized for lending a desperately needed vote to McConnell, on the initial TPP procedural vote, over the objections and counsel of Jeff Sessions. The damn thing passed, by one vote, I believe.

I criticized that vote. I have concerns about the Wall Street Cruz donors, and the stupid PAC who gave $500,000.00 to Fiorina, but supposedly supporting Cruz. I have concerns that Cruz could ever hope to win a general election in a now obviously secular America.

I believe Cruz is a wonderful man and senator, who can not win a general election. Trump has not played the religious Right card to the noisy extent Cruz has elected to do, and it’s possible that noise alone will kill Cruz chances at the nomination, outside of the South.

Those are not personal attacks against Cruz, but political choices that are on the record, and I don’t really see Trump supporters posting Cruz threads only to incite a fight against his supporters.

I hope that is taken into account by FReepers.

I appreciate onyx reminding us to ping CW when objecting to her motivations and the incitement caused by CW threads full of false characterizations, snark, and false media interpretations of Trump interactions, especially when they are readily available in their full and unedited, context.

Unfailingly I have pinged CW, with mercy on the volume in his inbox. lol.

Posting and running is unusual for CW, but this morning that is what has happened.

Thanks, *GOPe. Thanks to you, *onyx, for keeping the faith and defending FR manners!

Your Obama/Trump comparisons are uninformed At Best.

Obama is a Malignant Narcissist. He is a sociopath. He is a pathological liar.

Trump isn’t any of those things.

How about you do more than smear Trump with evidence-free comparisons to Obama? I’m sick of seeing this underhanded liberal smear tactic.

No, I just know her online from here for several years.
Unlike several others, I have NOT met her in person.

Like this nation "threw the alcohol war under the bus"?

I’m not avidly following Cruz threads either and I can’t recall posting negatively about Cruz.

I cheer for him, in fact.

BTW, thanks for cleaning up the confusion, on the “him vs. her” confusion.

I’ve posted with CW for years now and admired her.

I have private imaginations as a past or present delegate and/or political professional. ( Though, I don’t know, or care.) CW and I have been like minded for years, but I have been shocked by the obvious fodder for food fights, and disappointed, I confess. Today, I let it show.

Glad CW is a “her”, actually, though that doesn’t matter either. LOL!

God bless, woofie. And thanks for your friendly tone, here.

I really appreciate it, and regardless I do hope you help defend Trump against the COMPLEX circling him, as we speak. 69 days before Iowa caucuses and the vultures are gathering, in desperation.

This is going to be an EPIC battle. God be with him, and you too, btw! :)

Pulling your leg maybe. I have also “known” this person for years and assumed female based on wife. After paying attention though, plus calling them out, I think this person who is constantly telling us Trump is not who he says he is actually is not who they imply they are, female, which is classic lib projection! That, and I just don’t trust them!

Not sure I understand what you mean. Cooke meant allow all drugs to be legal, as NR and the rest of the libertarians want. That is probably what you want.

But he presented this as a compromise, to let the Republicans win, even though, sneakily, he may actually want it for its own sake. Same with gay marriage.

Conservatives are not fooled that easily, and they are not so easily compromised.

Oh, it’s the National Review, what do you expect. This is the establishment’s mouth piece. Remember the National Review and the establishment wants to keep the borders open because they want their slave labor coming in. Slave labor has really worked out well for this country in the past, hasn’t it?
