The thing is I do not even recognize over half of those posters other than as Cruz supporters. Many have sign up dates before mine and I don’t remember them posting about other things.
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.
