Yep. Freerepublic has become something of a trash heap of comments since Trump showed up on the scene. People can see that is is this opportunistic blowhard that is creating massive disunity. The timeline is indisputable. Cruz was a hero on this site before then. Now we're polarized. Hillary herself couldn't have planned a better unwinding than what Trump has wrought.

Is Cruz your guy **snip**? Great, tell me how someone so disliked by the hierarchy of his own party can make his presidency work.

Your post is Kush's entire point, bolobaby.

Try re-reading the original post. You might learn something. :)

I’ve covered that topic endlessly in the past.

Kush’s post is about our disunity. If you want to understand the genesis of that, you simply have to look at the timeline to understand WHY. Even when Ron Paul was running, we were never like this. The site hatred is due to one thing: the introduction of Trump. Once he showed up, we started eating our own.

Now, if you want to know how Cruz can make his presidency work, it’s simple: bully pulpit. Every time the dems can’t get what they want, they threaten to shut down the government. GOOD. Shut it down. We don’t need more government. Except when Cruz shuts down the government, he won’t shut down the open air public parks. He’ll shut down programs the DEMs care about.

It’s called being principled.

Oh, and, if Cruz wins the nomination, I hope every representative and senator that bent over to Obama is replaced in 2016 as well.
