Oh, a lot of them understand it.
You know how bullies generally have a gaggle of lesser-bullies that hang around them for the perceived power and prestige? You, know, the ones that laugh at everything the bully says, and repeat the threats, and love being part of the in crowd?
Look around FR these days. Lot's of lesser-bullies.
I would say Cruz’s campaign director Jeff Roe is the biggest bully on the scene right now. Uses info on candidates children and connected to the suicides of two candidates he led campaigns against!
Figures he’d line up with Cruz.
