Quick, bring out the fainting couches for the pearl clutchers!

Amazing that Trump fans, of all people, would complain about tactics.

Calling your opponents names like a middle schooler does is okay. Calling the people of Iowa stupid is okay. Skipping a debate because your guy is afraid to face hard questions from chris Wallace and Megyn Kelly is okay. Attacking your opponent’s character is okay. Lying about your opponent’s record is apparently okay, too. Especially is your guy is Trump or Rubio. Their fans will make all kinds of excuses for their rotten tactics and, in Trump’s case, rotten behavior.

But this mailer is beyond the pale!

LOL, put a halmet on.

Oh, btw, extensive research shows that shaming mailers generate turnout by people who don’t usually vote to go out and counter their neighbors’ votes. If reaseach didn’t support this, campaigns would not do it.

Thank goodness for the autonomic nervous system. You wouldn't be with us today.

I call BS on that. There is no way to research the effect of a shaming mailer other than some eggheaded survey that can be rigged to say whatever the egghead wants.

The only thing that you left off in your rant is the public naming of private citizens who are not involved in the fight. Sort of like a boxer stepping out of the ring and wanting to box with spectators.

So this is how it happened in that other nation. Amazing! I wouldn’t believe that people could be as dense and obtuse! You keep your research. Knowing history prevents a lot of tragedy when one takes instruction from other’s mistakes. Achtung!
