If the purpose is only to inflame and irritate by way of criticizing the opinion of someone else who you know full well is not likely to change that opinion because of your criticism, then the criticism become petty, juvenile, and without any substantive purpose beyond trolling for a pointless response that will be used to further inflame and embarrass publicly.
Sure, you can justify just about anything, but often, the justification is as phony as the criticism.
I believe this was the point of poster, and the reason he has been exposing this criticism for what it is.
The MSM is having a ball feeding this emotional self destruction within the Republican base, just as we did to the Dems during the House Banking scandals and the Clinton impeachment. It's payback, plain and simple and the Dem's are enjoying every second of it.
Sure, you can try to justify what ever you do or say to a fellow Republican voter, but often the justification is just part and parcel of the political disease called factional Hubris that always results in party damage and chaos.
We have a choice to make, as a political party. We can either hang together and get through this primary with some degree of unity remaining afterward, or we can all "hang" separately as individual losers.
Well said. Thanks.
