I feel I need to break my silence on the Trump vs Cruz supporters
brain fart | 4/24/2016 | wastedyears

Posted on 04/24/2016 2:32:41 PM PDT by wastedyears

I feel I need to do this. This is tearing us apart like the state tearing a father away from his children during a divorce. I don't visit the DUmmies, Kos Crazies or the Huffingstuff Post because for one, they're insane, two, I like my sanity, and three, the websites are poorly designed, though that's mostly DU.

They're probably laughing hysterically at the civil war everybody is having, because this election did far more than they could ever hope to achieve. This is far worse than the 2008 and 2012 elections. We knew we were getting screwed either way, and held our noses to vote for the establishment candidates.

I was originally for Cruz when he first announced. He spoke intelligently, and I liked what he had to say. When Trump announced, I thought "what a novel idea, someone that has actually created jobs running for president. This should be interesting." At first, we thought Cruz and Trump would work together and maybe join each other later on as a president/vice president ticket. Then, as I guess is predictable, the mud flinging began.

Over time, information began to come out showing Cruz's history. It showed him as a regular politician with a shady past. Now most recently the allegations that Cruz has had multiple affairs.

Trump has had affairs while married, but he admitted to those. He didn't keep them secret.

I've noticed that our civil war has waned a bit, but that Mason - Dixon line we drew in the sand will probably not go away. Anybody on the other side of the aisle that pays attention to this site has been laughing themselves to tears. We need to stop throwing punches at each other and return to the civility we had before Cruz was the first to announce.

No, your post is demonstrably false. Trump acts like a fifth grade bully. He was mugging and squirming at the podium during the debates while he made countless personal attacks. The only candidate that sunk to that level was Rubio. Cruz has never done anything like Trump's antics.

Trump is scared to debate Cruz on the issues. He would expose his lack of knowledge and inability to speak in coherent sentences. Trump will fail badly in a debate with Hitlery- I just hope we don't have to see it.

If Ted Cruz was not in this race, the tone would likely be the exact same. We'd still have all the comments about peoples' looks, still have Trump talking about the size of his member, still have him sayong that his opponents are cheaters, etc.. Only difference is that we'd probably be hearing "Little Marco" 10 times a day rather than "Lyin' Ted."

If Trump wasn't in this race, the tone would be completely different.

To me, that makes it pretty clear where fault lies.

[[Some of them have taken to personally slandering the owner of this site and thinking they can out-urinate the boss.]]

If that’s truly the case, then I misread the comment posted above about him zotting people- but the following didn’t sound like it was directed at those attackign Jim personally

“Continue insulting us with 24/7 anti-Trump diatribes and insults, your opus will be assumed.”

That sounds more like He’s going to zot people who frequently post their dislike for Trump or his policies or whatever- and saying he is going to do so soon because people are divided on the issue o who would be nominee

“and we will get a handle on this divided forum very soon.”-

Evidently, Teds supporters feel compelled to lie as much as he does.

Like I said, Jims comments and zots are right on his page.

Run the comments back and you can see clearly why people are getting the Zot.

If he were doing as you claim, most of the posters on this particular thread would be gone.

Wow. What a difference five years can make. The 180 degree perception switch is stunning.

If you have something intelligent to say or some new information to pass on, then by all means say it. But if you only want to pass on false rumors like Cruz’s affairs and your opinion about his shady past (like what are you specifically taking about), then you should just shut up. You are guaranteeing that this forum will be no if different than the democratic Underground. You have itchy ears. You should read 2 Timothy 4:3 in the Bible if you don’t know what I mean. You are what is tearing apart Free Republic. Is that what you want? I say the same thing to Cruz supporters, by the way..

...and all start supporting the winner leader, Donald Trump.

That is what your vanity is all about, right!

Dump Trump! ...Vote Cruz!

I’d rather have Cruz, the CONSERVATIVE, which is what I thought this site was about.

Cruz comes across as if he is putting on a big act, pretending to typify stereotypes of conservatives while not actually one himself. The fact that he has to tell us to trust him tells me there is something about him to distrust.

But, putting that aside, in what way does having a "perfect" ideology qualify one to be president? Cruz does not have the education or job skills necessary for the presidency. And lawyers have done spectacularly bad as president--disasters Clinton and Obama come to mind.

Personally, I prefer the candidate who already has executive experience. Sure, Trump has some flaws--just like the rest of us--but he has a good platform and has lived conservatism through building his business and creating jobs. And the fact that he is taking no special interest money means that he actually wants to represent the people, not do the bidding of big money donors.

He’s still tolerating them - I even saw Libbylu back on here a while ago. But a day of reckoning is surely coming. All should think very careful before making their decision as to whats side they wish to be on.
