Gestapo, seriously? Shills and Cruzbots cruise the halls constantly, haranguing and harassing, and to complain about that is to be a Nazi? Godwin's law, my friend. You have lost the argument.
And, by the way, I don't think anyone has had a big problem with genuine discussion about the candidates, and back and forth between Cruz and Trump supporters. Most of us here on the Trump side were Cruz supporters, including me. He lost us for various reasons, but we don't have animosity towards Cruz supporters. It's when the shilling becomes part of a game plan by the Cruz side, when the posts from Nat Review and Ted State are coming at us fast and furious and the invective reaches new heights, that it gets too much. Some of those involved might not be part of an organized group, but it is not too much to posit that many are.
Jim Rob decreed that enough is enough, that Ted Cruz, by staying in the race is helping Hillary, and he is right. Since then, some took him on directly, and they were zotted. Others continued the discussion without stopping their support for Cruz, but they did it with civility. Those that couldn't, bye. That is what this forum is for, not as a campaign vehicle for a candidate. If Manafort had an account at FR, I would say that he can't come here and post 100's of times a day, and go after opponents with malice, at least not without paying for use of the bandwidth and disclosing on each post that he was being paid to post.
Shill away.
Shill away.
Shill off.
