“There’s plenty of phony made up people trolling for Trump (ArmyChickBlackGeneralissimo, or whatever his name is)...”
*************************************************************************
Yeah, he/she/it who may, or may not, be in the Army and who may, or may not, be female and who may, or may not, be black and who may, or may not, be a Generalissimo. Someone made the comment that if she/he/it actually is in the army, he/she/it is the least busy (on Army matters) soldier in the army.

I'd like to go back in time....
Interestingly enough, BFAC was here in 2011 dissing Trump and stumping for Herman Cain.

Yes, there is all kinds of nasty on Twitter, Facebook, etc., to be expected from supporters who are rabid about their candidate-but...

Have any Cruz supporters with ‘white power’ or ‘white genocide,’ etc. on their profiles called you a kike or posted or tweeted pictures of your avi behind a big metal door with a window, with tRump at what looks like a control panel, getting set to push the button labeled “gas ‘em”? Have any Cruz supporters threatened to dox you or publish your home address? Have any Cruz supporters insulted your appearance, your gender and your age and used the C-word when you posted something not 100% favorable to their Golden God? All of the above has happened to me.

Just saying.

Politics, as if anyone has not noticed, is a sleazy business. Politicians rank somewhere around used car salesmen and dog vomit as admirable. Politics is played best by politicians. After all, it is the politician who makes the laws and rules and, like streetwalkers, know each other and who is talented in what area of their "profession".

An outsider doesn't stand much of a chance. Without a big machine or moneyed interests to back a candidate, the average citizen, no matter how pure and civic minded, is dead meat before the first vote is tallied.

That Trump has made it this far and with as much support as he has is astounding.

Hey Booba Poopdeck, why is it that when I check out some of the loudest mouths her defending the Canadian, I can go back on to more than ten years using the in forum search function.

You morons don’t even participate on this forum, at least a lot of you don’t.

What happens, the checks stop coming?

Cruz didn’t do zip squat. The country is a de facto illegal alien sanctuary for God sake. Even Cruz home state of Texas is crawling will illegals, and has over a dozen sanctuary cities. Get real.

Do nothing lawyers turned career politicians. They do nothing and the country declines in every direction.

Bubba,

As ignorant as you appear, I don’t believe you are so ignorant.

Significance in data is a matter of statistical confidence intervals.

Politician Trump crowd draw data Vs. Molly Cyrus twerking camel toe nipple draw are independent data sets.

Unless... you are retarded.

Your call.

The question was, “what will they do about the borders and did they say the same thing before Trump started winning?”

Cruz is for, was for, and has been for building a wall prior to Donald Trump coming on the scene. That’s what I was responding to.

We can argue whether or not a single Senator from any state can do what a President can do. If Mr. Trump was in the Senate and did the same as Mr. Cruz, people would be singing his praises and he would have been just as unsuccessful under this administration.

He did nothing, regardless of what comment you responded to. Get real.

So do I! If anything I suspect there are far more supporting Cruz than votes indicate.

No they do not believe anyone agrees with his message. No problem with border, illegals, trade...because they have been telling us there is no problem.

And he was also for giving out gift baskets to illegals fresh across the border with Glenn Beck.

The only thing Cruz has ever been for is whatever makes him look good at the moment.

I remember the Obama “fake twitter accounts” story someone mentioned.
It didn’t shock me at the time. I wouldn’t be surprised that most candidates have some young techie type supporters (not necessarily paid) who do stuff like this, either authorized or not. Typical campaign stuff, like phony push polls, phony robo calls purporting to be from one candidate who are actually from supporters of the other, etc. Nothing new there, just standard dirty tricks stuff. The social media, especially twitter, just makes it much easier. Maybe I’m naive and the campaigns actually pay and sanction it. I don’t know anyone in the business to ask.

I have seen absolutely fake anti-Cruz stories from fake websites, like one a week ago on FR that appeared to be from ABC news—pretty good faked website at first glance, but empty of all other content other than this story, and the URL had an extra character. I’ve seen this from both sides, though. My very wild guess if that about 5 to 10 percent or so might fall into the troll/fake/nonsense categories. Sometimes the goal seems to be to get a fake story either adopted by the candidate, simply to embarrass him (this happened to Trump when his campaign bought into a fake twitter thing that said the guy who rushed the stage was ISIS affiliated.) The gold standard all these guys seem to hope for is when their phony story can break through to the MSM. This worked temporarily for the bogus Cruz National Enquirer story.

I am a Trump supporter, so some will automatically hate me. Yes, there are some obviously bogus anti-Cruz stuff here (two or three common themes pushed by about 20 guys, everybody knows who they are). But I really believe that the obvious troll/fake stuff has very little effect on either candidate.

However, never in my life have I seen such a concerted media attack against one guy as is aimed at Trump, from the NY Times to the supposed “conservative” media. When the GOPe started “StopTrump” they meant it, and they are throwing everything they have. Complaints about “bots” and minor league stuff like that seems pretty darned small in the face of what Trump faces from almost every quarter. Just my two cents.

Well I guess you’re right. Under your standard neither has Mr. Trump. What has he done. Not a damn thing.

Even Mr. Trump’s home state of New York is crawling with illegals. In fact New York City is a Sanctuary City. He has done nothing.
