“I tangled with one anti-Trump poster who had been here for at least ten years and had never said a single word about the GOP primaries in 2008 and 2012, no comment on Giuliani or Newt or Fred or Santorum or Mitt or Paul. Nada. But Trump runs and suddenly he can’t shut up about how dangerous he is. The other curious fact, most of his earlier posts looked like a bot could have done them.
For the first time I think there may be something to the idea of paid GOPe trolls.”
MkJessup, PAEngineer, Stephenjohnbanker and I noticed the same pattern. Supposedly old posters with years of no posts/replies and suddenly posting 24/7 anti Trump bs and filled with hate if you dared to correct them.
We labeled them as the Zombies, New Walking Dead or where have you been for years.
How about trolls paid by the Hill team?
If Hillary's campaign were smart they'd be trying to keep the GOP in turmoil, stirring up hostility between Cruz, Trump and establishment supporters. But there seems to be plenty of that coming from the grassroots already, and I don't know if Hillary's gang has the knowledge of GOP civil wars to maintain the front.
The troll I dealt with was a typical neocon free traitor globalist. A liberal would have trouble keeping up that front.
