I believe it.....just look at their posting forum history....There’s a real nasty presence here now that knows no boundaries, and it’s thick.

And by the way it’s not just here but at any social network....Trump has unleashed something vile that’s brought out the dark side of people and we’re seeing it daily on the threads and throughout the internet.

The fact it’s not being stopped rather increasing evidences what I won’t describe here....maybe for another place and time.

....”What is unfathomable about Cruz is that he has dealt himself a royal flush while Donald Trump is holding, at best, a pair of deuces..... Cruz has presented the most impressive proposal in the field for creating a roaring Reaganesque recovery. The charismatic Mr. Trump’s economic platform is pure Jabberwock.”.........

That much I can agree on with this article....however Cruz is greatly underestimated in other respects and for that we shall see some real surprises along the way.

Have the people here actually been to any of Cruz’s gatherings in Iowa or New Hampshire?????.....the MSM doesn’t cover them because they don’t have the pagenty and showmanship Trumps rallies do, further Cruz would prefer they not cover them.........But make no mistake Cruz’s ground game is ‘formidable’ as are his volunteers working for his election.....it’s a stunning campaign and organized in ways that would make Washington look like childs play.

Well your post yet again evidences no substance...just childish play and name calling as if you’re on a school play ground or posting on DU, rather than “Free Republic the Greatest Conservative Political Discussion Site on the Internet!”....

Blah, blah, blah, blah, Ted Cruz is the Messiah, Blah, blah, blah, blah, Ted Cruz is the greatest, Blah, blah, blah, blah, Ted Cruz is to be worshipped, Blah, blah, blah, blah, Ted Cruz is the chosen one, Blah, blah, blah, blah, Ted Cruz is a great lawyer, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, ad infinitum.

The common technique of the Teddy Bares is throwing mud. But, it looks like it's getting pretty deep for you!

BTW, the Stossel show was quite revealing last night. It shows that Teddy Bare learned Obama's way of winning. Data mining to find out what kind of trite phrase to pitch door-to-door based on people's FaceBook likes. Perfectly legal, ya' know! But, sleazy as usual! Them "Constitutional Lawyers" must have taken some special courses!

The Book of Cruz

For the Lord has sent unto us a messiah from Havana by way of Calgary yeah unto the very gates of Austin.

We only have to believe and accept Cruz into our hearts and we will be saved and Cruz will heal our nation. Yea send him unto the very gates of the heathens in Washington. He will smite the liberals and smite the GOPes and yea even the RINOs, and yea they will feel his mighty power.

He will be seated on a mighty throne in Washington and the members of Congress and yea even the priests of the Supreme Court and the hoards of bureaucrats shall bow their knee unto to him. For he is the mighty Cruz and the Deliverer and Defender of the Constitution.

For the Lord has sent us a mighty naturalized citizen from Canada unto the United States to deliver us from our wicked ways. He shall show us the true way as none other. Woe unto those with New York values. For they are an abomination unto his eyes.

For unto him and his followers the Lord has shown the true way of conservatism. All others shall be cast into the lake of fire.

Yea only believe and the mighty and true Cruz will deliver us from abomination. /s

This fairy tale brought to you by Goldman Sachs.

We now return you to our regular programing.

Go Trump!

ROTFLMAO!

Any candidate who isn't taking advantage of technology to gauge the electorate is a fool.

At the very least, they know what to expect--like the Iowa Governor howling for Cruz' defeat because he would end the ethanol mandate. Another candidate stepped right up and said he'd increase it, and the GOP there got behind him.

So, if Cruz is sucking up for votes, he's doing a lousy job, while someone else' marketing department is working overtime.

blah, blah, blah, yourself.

-Is there a reason you have such a need to disgrace Ted Cruz so - I am an equal opportunity vile commenter. BTW Cruz is my second choice, but keep in mind, he is a lawyer politician. The same background that has consistently destroyed our Republic.

You mean using basic internet marketing techniques like every single banner ad served up on your computer screen uses?

But, hey, we could always limit candidates to using Pony Express, smoke signals and carrier pigeons to send messages if you feel that is more fair.

So you’re saying Cruz should stop throwing mud and model his campaign after the saintly, always positive campaigner Trump who said Carson was like a pathological child molestor?

He has evidently learned a lot from his mentor, Obama!

In the race to advance data-driven electioneering strategies pioneered by successive Obama campaigns, Cruz has turned to Cambridge Analytica for its unparalleled offering of psychological data based on a treasure trove of Facebook 'likes', allowing it to match individuals' traits with existing voter datasets, such as who owned a gun. ...

...

In an interview with the Guardian last month, Cruz said his funding and outreach apparatus "is very much the Obama model - a data-driven, grassroots-driven campaign - and it is a reason why our campaign is steadily gathering strength". ... http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/dec/11/senator-ted-cruz-president-campaign-facebook-user-data

If you are one of the people who gave your data to Facebook, someone is going to use it.

I would imaging any businessman in the race would use marketing data to the fullest, as that is a means to success at reaching target audiences.

As for Cruz' ground game being similar to Obama's, please note Obama's ground game methodology worked. It rallied people behind Obama. We might not like that result, but the effectiveness is undeniable.

If your neighbor buys a tool that works better than yours, and you don't like your neighbor, will you NOT buy something more effective just because your neighbor has one? America needs the best tools we can find to straighten this country out, and not using a tool because someone else did is silly.

I guess he should turn in his phone and use only pencils, too?

Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.

Obama is called a “Constitutional scholar”. This doesn’t mean he is one.

A flat tax is still not a VAT.

When Russia saw we got nukes, they got their own.

The Democrats got their own ultimate election weapons and we would be fools to not copy them.

Claiming Cruz as your second choice is not believable considering your vast assaults on his character. So I don’t buy it.....Further, suggesting that Cruz is responsible for ‘destroying our Republic’ shows your utter ignorance regarding Cruz’s strong conservative and consistent history in fighting for our Constitution and Rights as a people..... But I will agree you are as you say “a vile commenter”........who might better remain on the Trump rally threads where you are aong your own kind.
