Once again, we are subjected to a round of "oh, poor widdle ol' us" from someone who states that Trump is "vulgar" and that proves right there that you're just one more Trump-hater, unable to see beyond your damn nose, and you and those like you think that because your candidate (whoever it is or was) turned out to be the proverbial pile of *FAIL*, that it is somehow our responsibility to treat you people with kid gloves and murmur soft little nothings into your ears, *poor babies*.

You write about Trump "insulting" people and his supporters "laughing along" but not a word about the widespread, unrestricted and full throated insults, abuse and hatred ALL directed at ONE man, from the left, from the right, from the 'RATS, GOPe, media, bloggers springing up like toadstools in the meadow, screaming invective, and that includes our own home grown contingent right here on FR and they saw nothing at all wrong about laughing away at THAT.

Can you say "double standard"? I'm sure you can, it's staring you right in the face. Give us a damn break.

Would you be urging and clamoring for such tender compassion and consideration if it was Trump who had been mathematically eliminated but was doggedly clinging to some false and illusive hope that he could somehow beat Cruz at the convention on a second ballot or some craziness like that?

HELL no!! You would be hammering Trump supporters at every turn, telling them they had picked a "loser" and slinging around every kind of personal insult that you so piously deplore. Don't try to deny that, you know that would be the case with nearly every Trump-hater around here, their roaring would rise to an even greater crescendo.

Here's the bottom line: one of my favorite political writers was Finley Peter Dunne, who said "politics ain't beanbag" and he was absolutely right, it is NOT a sport that anyone should get into in ANY capacity if they're not prepared to experience or observe utter devastation and destruction of their candidate, their cause or themselves if they become an integral part of it, because that's the nature of the game, fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, some causes win, some causes die.

We are all individually responsible for the choices we make, and if we choose wisely, we are validated by those choices. If our choices fail to deliver what we hope for, there is no one to blame for that except for ourselves. It doesn't matter. Quite bluntly, nobody cares. Choose better next time.

Enough of this obsessive-compulsive need for group hugs, community weeping and wailing because a political campaign is going in a direction some people are unhappy with.

As Trump himself has said (and would say):

DEAL WITH IT.

I swear, the more I read of his supporters' mewlings and maunderings, the more convinced I become, daily, that the entire Cruzlim movement is one long and unhappy group quest for what the kiddies nowadays refer to as a "safe space."
