It's astounding that there are so many Kool Aid drinkers here on FR.
The bottom line is, Sarah or not, Cruz is like a 9 on the 10-point scale where Reagan was a 10 and Trump is maybe a solid 6 dressed up as a 7.5 — so if the resistance to socialism wants that, it’s still way better than a 1 or the other alternative, -666. But in a perfect world you would go for the 9 over the 6, I would think. Why not?
What's *astounding* is that nobody remembers the origins of the phrase "drinking the Kool Aid".
It *was* Rush.
During the 1992 Democrat National Convention (back in the days when Bush 41's approval rating was 91-95%, no *serious* Dem wanted anything to do with the nomination.
Rush had somebody from his show standing on the corner outside the convention, passing out Grape Kool-Aid...which I think was an oblique reference to Jonestown and its suicide by Kool-Aid.
It's odd, that Slick Willie saw his chance (oh, yeah, Hillary did too), just when all the other leading Dems were taking a pass.
Someone ought to remind Rush of that, and see if he'll do an encore, when the *next* Clinton is seeking the nomination...
My thought, too. How can so many be so blind to an egomaniac? I, I, I, I, and yet they lambast O’ for the SAME THING. I just don’t get it. Maybe they haven’t had the privilege of living with a sociopathic pathological liar.
I was wondering what kinds of things Trump was saying in 2000 when he was yakkin about running...
‘”Pat Buchanan has been guilty of many egregious examples of intolerance. He has systematically bashed Blacks, Mexicans, and Gays,” wrote Trump in his 2000 campaign book The America We Deserve”’
Does anyone have a copy of that book???

Today I visited other sites and comments where they all seem to be noticing this junk talk being pushed into their conversations.
If you think of the industry and shady means of business Trumps in , the thugs and underlings he says himself he attracts, then I would assume “their boy” running has them out and about infiltrating everywhere.... ........what's interesting is people who are regulars at sites have noted the difference this year from other years.....(it's the vulgarity and such which goes well beyond just rude)....and Trump does bring that out of people.
I was disappointed when I read several people mentioning FR on other sites comment sections........that this site had become an extension of the Trump campaign.....there were others that chimned in as well....it was hard to read let me tell you.... They weren't saying bad things about FR ..just astonished Freepers were supporting Trump......so I guess some of us aren't just seeing things as out of sink here when other Conservative sites are noticing the trend here.
However, I do think Jim will settle the issue once the Primary is over and the general begins. Until then we are not alone in this influx of Trumpitis.
