....”If the Trump worship gets any worse, Jim may need to change the name of the site to Freak Republic”......
There’s no room for Cruz to even be discussed here unless you’re bashing him and his supporters. It’s been heartwretching to see this man spoken off so harshly...and not just Cruz but all the pundits and radio personnel once respected even, if not always agreed with, it’s never come this low before.
There’s a stench in the air here now and it’s growing....I just don’t know what to say other than it’s more than just bad...and something i don’t want to go much further with.
I have read a lot of threads over the last few months... I am a life long conservative and have enjoyed the discussions here for many years and still do. I enjoy conversing with other conservatives with different views than myself. Even the recent nastiness hasn’t discouraged me. And I have been the target of some pretty nasty comments over the past few months, even before I had decided on my candidate.
It is actually more than a little amusing to hear the griping from the only “true conservatives” on the site, the Cruz supporters. It was their vicious attacks on Sarah Palin after she endorsed Donald Trump over Ted Cruz that offended me enough that I no longer wanted to be associated with the exclusive club of “true conservatives” here.
I do not remember reading one comment from a Trump supporter saying that they would not vote for Cruz if he won the nomination. It seems like about every other thread here has at least one post from a Cruz supporter saying that he will sit out the election if Trump prevails. It was also Cruz supporters who tried to form some type of alternative site and have claimed multiple times that they are being treated unfairly by the moderators.
At times I have suspected that some of the nastiness was actually orchestrated by the team of social media experts hired by the Cruz team. If that actually was to turn out to be the case it would just demonstrate how little they care about a resource that has been nurtured for such a long time that has been such an important asset to the conservative community in this country.
There is a stench here like I have never seen before.
I do not feel at home any more.
