Did she make you cry? Maybe Freerepublic can create a 'safe space' for you Cruz bots.
teeeee heeeee
Love your comment.
On the one hand, it is true that he is saying things that need to be said. Political correctness and fear of offending have stifled conservative discourse in many quarters.
But once you take the gloves off, so to speak, things can go too far. When Trump speaks in a provocative way, his supporters cheer, but it does have the unintended consequence of lowering the tone of discourse to that of an argument in a gin mill.
His followers imitate it (I have seen personal insults, obscenities, and attacks directed at fellow FReepers like I have never seen in all my years here, just because they dare to criticize Trump or defend Cruz or Rubio), and his opponents then feel free to imitate it too. That is what Cruz said (not that it was "Trump's fault"), and he has a point.
Obviously, the leftist goons are *primarily* responsible for their own bad behavior. But Trump bears *some* responsibility for creating the climate that encourages it.
Those who are willing to stop supporting a candidate for one statement in the heat of a campaign are (1) ignoring a lot of far more provocative things said by Trump; and (2) probably never supported Cruz in the first place.
