Not sure why you feel the need to pepper your response with terms such as ‘deary’ but to each his own.

I understand your stance on Trump, but read your long reply nonetheless. Nothing new in there that I haven’t read/heard for months. You have every right to see it the way you do, I wouldn’t attempt to take that away. I also have the right to see the man the way I do, as well as seeing Cruz the way I do. It seems redundant at this point to go through your points one by one, but I will say, I do not believe in the tired worn tale that Trump is there to somehow prop Hillary in whatever fantasy you guys can conjure up.

As to the list - and no, nobody ‘owed’ me anything. I was responding to a claim that there are so many new posters for Trump. In fact, there are plenty new ones for Cruz.
I’ll freepmail them, out of general respect.

Believe what you want. I was speaking towards a possibility that among those he may have received encouragement from, were people who preferred him as a candidate for the Hildabeast to run against (instead of other potential GOP nominees) much for reasons which I outlined, and possibly more...

There is a remote possibility that Trump could not be bought off for reason of already being bought and paid for, also.

It's simpler though (and so likely as not more accurate?) that; he's an opportunist, perceiving weakness in both political party's candidates, thus in his own eyes those weaknesses providing opening for himself to siphon off conservative votes from candidates such as Cruz. He'd otherwise been working toward parroting/paralleling red-meat conservative's preferences for some time (in order to be able to achieve that same siphoning of votes from actual conservatives) preceding officially announcing his own candidacy for the Republican nomination.

On a plus side of the ledger, as far as himself appearing to just recently have become a conservative (yet in some way within himself have the actual political instincts of one, in part, sometimes anyway) his years of instances mouthing (and providing financial support) for liberal Democrats could have been himself being deceitful to those same liberal Democrats in order that he would be liked by that particular "in-crowd". As far as that being the case, if so -- then we are not to think he won't jilt us also? Oh really.

You may have misunderstood me.

I was not speaking of "new" posters most chiefly and only (although including consideration towards there being a few of those) but more about, as I put it "...recently there has emerged on this site a cadre of Trump supporters (not uniformly all Trump supporters, mind you) who attack Cruz (and Cruz supporters) using Alinskyite tactics, ..."

A list of those persons would not be limited to recent sign ups, although admittedly it can be difficult to sort the chaff-chaff from the wheat-wheat, while various actors go about rake-raking Cruz over the coals using any possibly argument/tactic/angle, including many which are ill-founded.

I was not speaking about all Trump supporters, even those who can offer a harsh word for Cruz, and a few words for some Cruz supporters too, but was including talking about those who may say or think themselves 'conservative', yet in the way they have been making habit of going about tearing Cruz down, includes mocking some of the bedrock principles which Cruz portrays himself taking stand for, which are among the principles long supported by this site's management, and many members.

A recent favorite charge broadsided against Cruz is hypocrisy. Hypocrisy because someone among his supporters, or else campaign "camp" said or did something objectionable. Without fail no matter what it is, it will be exaggerated, passed around from mouth-to-mouth like some virus which mutates, to in the end, it be all Cruz's fault most directly and personally.

That this sort of thing comes into play in response to The Donald having come under harsh examination, comes across as being attempt to deflect criticism from Trump -- at the cost of Cruz and the "conservative" values he was long associated with, making it difficult to not see it as attack on the conservative movement that sounds a lot like what I can find on any street corner where low-info, media-duped Dem Party voters can be found.
