I have been here 16 years, although I seldom post new articles because somebody else always beats me to the punch. I have stood with the Walter Reed group against Code Pink.

I took a new screen name and stopped donating right after the previous election because this site actively opposed the Republican candidate and advocated staying home. The result of that thinking was Obama part two. The whole Mormon hate fest thing didn’t work for me.

I’m pleased to see that the site isn’t going to make the same mistake in that regard this time. Although Trump is not my choice, I will vote for him, just as I voted for Romney, McCain and all of the other squishy losers of the past.

The purges seem to be continuing, however. I can understand removing obvious trolls, but once again, from my point of view, the site is going overboard. This kind of polarization yields third party challenges and stay at home voters. In my opinion, it needs to stop.

The purge is continuing because individuals are directly challenging Jim They could choose to take a step back and stay off for awhile. We all have done that at one time or another. Instead they continue their antagonistic behavior.

IMO, It is pretty hypocritical to silence anti-Trump sentiment before Trump has actually won his 1237 delegates. Why is FR officially dubbing him the GOP candidate by fiat this early when Romney wasn't given the same backing in 2012.

Kinda reminds me of what happened back in 2000 when the media declared Gore the winner in Florida, even though the polls in the panhandle were still open for another hour. That dirty pool dispirited and disenfranchised many panhandle voters from the election. Bush would have won Florida by a much larger margin if that had not happened.

There are several states, including California, that haven't had their primaries yet. The media (both liberal and conservative) and even FR are disenfranchising those voters by telling them that their primary votes for anyone other than Trump in the don't matter.

Now, if this "all Trump, all the time" policy is simply a case of learning from one's mistakes, then admit you were wrong for not lining up 1000% behind Romney in 2012 and move on. Admitting one's errors, repenting and talking about lessons learned might help calm the fire in the belly of a lot those who have supported other GOP candidates up to this point.

But if all that is offered is arrogance, bluster, bullying and zotting, then good luck with that.
