Can we have separate Trump Caucus and Cruz Caucuses?

I've been toying with this idea as well; but it rather defeats the purpose of rational discussion of the issues, since none of us knows who will be nominated. The problem is getting to the rational discussion. Some people simply do not know how to form a constructive sentence and seem only capable of snark, outrage, flaming and ad hominems.

Such people close their minds. They do not want to take the time to explain their point of view factually or objectively, nor to listen to anyone else's points of view. We don't all wear the same clothing styles, live in the same types of housing, drive the same cars or prefer the same menu. Yet people who would never attack a friend who orders fish when you like meat will dissolve in vitriol on this board at the mere sight of a different opinion. While that sort of undisciplined venting is broadly true of the entire genre of anonymous Internet posting, it should not be true here, where the owner had made his preferences and rules clear in many ways.

The fact that you read what I had to say and responded civilly I want to say I really appreciate.
