Please tell me this is sarcasm.

No sarcasm.

And let me stress again (in case you think I've had some sort of conversion experience), I DO NOT LIKE DONALD TRUMP.

The thing is that I like Hillary Clinton less. A whole lot less.

The people have spoken and they selected a candidate that I don't like. But he is who we have to run with.

Unless we want Hillary in office, we have to hold our noses and press forward with what we have. And that means that we need to control our speech until that time. Anything that allows for division, anything that puts a chink in his armor that could be exploited by the enemy needs to be suppressed. Divisions within the conservative movement are just the chink in the armor that the pro-Hildabeast superpacs can exploit to do so. Articles from sources that are questionable can end up exposing chinks.

I am keeping my powder dry and holding my tongue until November 9th. I think we would all be well advised to do that.

Let’s just ban articles from every news source out there that isn’t owned by Trump Enterprises. Don’t allow any criticism of Trump on this forum at all. Just make this place a “safe space” for Trump supporters.

That will ensure a Trump victory in November. How could I be so blind as to not see the light? Pass the Kool Aid, brother.

Your intentions may have been good but the premise is disgusting. Perhaps the argument should be we need to vote against hillary and not try to hide Trump’s issues.

This is silly. Coulter & Nero are both pro-Trump. Matthew and Eli have written fair articles about the Donald. Ben & Michelle deservedly got the boot (and also took Schachtel and Stepman down with them); but remember even Ben wrote "The Magic of Donald Trump" in 2011. You've got to remember at some level these clickbait sites are just a game.

Yeah it's pwned by a Cruz SuperPACker whatever. Better to rebuff & rebut any invalid articles here than have them gain traction somewhere else.

Remember the threads here that dissected the video that proved then-Breitbart reporter Fields was lying about having been thrown to the ground? Sorry I'm not giving up that kind of Schadenfreude. Too delicious...

Growing a thicker skin might help

If one isn’t used to being amongst opposing views then you haven’t spent enough time outside a cocoon
