The Dishonest Trumpeter Narrative: ... (how it works) And all he got was this ZOT!

FULL TITLE: The Dishonest Trumpeter Narrative: “We Switched from Cruz to Trump After Chicago!” Is a Lie

...

When Trump people wage psychological warfare, we must remember that it’s phony and dishonest like the man himself — as I will prove in this post.

Let’s go straight to their phony psychological warfare. Trump people have been pushing a narrative that says: “I was for Cruz until he failed to support Trump’s free speech in Chicago on March 11. Now I’m all in for Trump.” This narrative is a lie from top to bottom.

First, let’s look at some of the messages to that effect on Twitter: ...

Oh, so you think FR should ban anyone supporting what Rush calls, a true conservative and is entitled to carry Reagan’s banner as do Mark Levin and the millions of conservatives who voted for Cruz? Why is “pathetic” an unfair description of those who will vote for Trump, if as a result, should Trump be the nominee (God forbid) and Hillary wins as a raft of new polls suggest? Yes, it is pathetic to place the “Dear Leader” (now known to be a conman and vulgarian) above country. If you feel comfortable living in an echo-chamber that’s your prerogative. You can conduct yourself like the three proverbial monkeys by ignoring factual data.

“this board is notorious for eating it’s own.”

No it’s not.

(It’s is the contraction of “it is.” The possessive form is “its.” Anyone who intends to vote should be at least that educated.)

I think, with sufficient exposure, that kiss clip should end Cruz for all time.

“I find myself more and more inclined to take a hiatus from FR until at least after the primaries the hate and sleaze is very bad for my blood pressure.”

A lot of us have done that from time to time. Health is important.

“Your compatriot is ZOT! He didn’t heed the warnings, as he was too wrapped up in hatred and vitriol. He is a proper Teddy Bare!”

Probably the same guy. False flag posters often set up a bunch of fake personas to “chime in” in support.

what’s a POS?

A POS is bolus of feces. Next question, 'what is a bolus'?

I don't believe that anyone who really supported Cruz would change his or her mind after Cruz blamed the rioters for their actions and held Trump accountable for his comments about punching people.

Looks like a coordinated effort by an army of Trump tweeters.

It is strange. Eight years ago they were banning Rudy Giuliani supporters. New York liberal, not conservative enough, was in favor of abortion and baby killing.

I thought FR would do the same thing to Trump And his supporters.

Apparently not. It’s the exact opposite.

I don’t understand it myself. Unfortunately I haven’t been following FR much lately and don’t know what really led up to all this. What I’ve seen is a LOT of Trump supporters acting in a way I wouldn’t expect. The same may be true for Cruz supports but I haven’t seen that. I’ve decided to sit back and watch what happens. I’ll vote, but may be plugging my nose as I have for others.

Concur, it looks like a concerted partisan effort at a site overrun and blowout, to start up a bandwagon effect in the base.

Nobody but nobody has made any effort to describe the kind of person Trump would nominate to the Supreme Court -- a topic of some urgency now that a GOP caucus effort is being made in the Senate to hold open Justice Scalia's seat. Which if it fell to a liberal or a "moderate" (I'm liberal, but I'm going to lie about it to get confirmed, like Anthony Kennedy) would be a disaster likely to endure for 15-20 years.

Trump is a surprise grab-bag. Nobody knows what they're going to get from this guy besides a lot of hustle and flow. There's no "there", there. Yeah, he does deals. Yeah, he builds buildings. And? (This is my riposte to guys who keep posting up Trump talking points about 'yaaaah, what's Cruz [or anyone else who isn't Donald Trump] ever done?')

I mean, who cares about his damned casinos and hotels? He's a service-industry guy, not an industry-builder like, eg., The Woz and Marc Andreessen and Lee Iacocca. So what, he puts up a hotel casino? This helps our balance of payments, how? Unless he's getting foolish Chinese and Japanese customers to check in and drop their rolls at the dice table.

Imagine being a member of the 80% having to listen to the nasty accusing diatribe of the the 20%. How would you respond?

I don't know. I'm probably part of the 20% (but a pretty quiet part, not too nasty or accusing, I hope), so it's sort of a moot point for me. I guess, though, I might feel confident and secure enough being part of the 80% that I'd try to ignore the piddly 20%ers, or even just just try to sell my 80% candidate with positivity, since I would still want the 20%ers votes come November.

The 80%ers won't have to put up with the ankle biters forever; we seem to be posting less and less, whether from being banned or just from moving on.

Imagine being a member of the 20% having to listen to the nasty accusing diatribe of the 80%. Trust me, that's no picnic, either. Talk about feeling outnumbered and no longer recognizing a site you used to love! Some are trolls, of course, but it's not always easy to tell who since some have been here for years and just crank up the disruptions during election seasons (sleeper trolls). I can't tell you how many FReepers' sign-up dates I've checked in the last few months, lol.
