When Trump's biography, gaffes, grotesqueries, and just plain maliciousness are the subject, Trump supporters cynically cite numbers and tell us thousands cheer.

When Trump loses, Trump supporters cry "Gestapo tactics" in Colorado, "establishment" in Wisconsin, and the numbers are ignored in favor of a distorted ethics.

The hypocrisy of Trump supporters reflects the policy schizophrenia and ignorance of their champion.

Those attacks were a lot weaker than I expected to see from you this AM... we need more color, more cold hard facts, more confrontational, more shall we say “cow bell”?

C’mon NB, why can’t you put some more “stank” on it?
Three lines is nothing compared to the full length stem winders we are used to enjoying... and rejecting of course.

Not this, you only used TRUMP only five times in your insults and attacks, but only three sentences. Sub par for you. When blaming Trump, you need to expand your fire zone perimeter to provide for lots of maneuvering and spent ammo.

How long has it been since you did a vanity? think about it... something NOT about trump or even politics might refresh your writing wit.

And though I said it in fun... you really need to get back on your game.

We?
Other than the occasional freeper being a jerk I highly doubt anyone has attacked you personally.

Cruz has had to deal with BS attacks since Iowa.

My hope is that it makes the candidate stronger. Whomever that may be.

By we, I meant Trump and his supporters. We have seen the media attack us, the radical left organizers, the GOP, Super PAC's and even fellow conservatives.

There was a consistent group of posters on this site that would go out and scrounge up every negative article about Donald and post them here in a relentless fashion. It wasn't until then that Trump supporters started attacking back.

There have been questions regarding his eligibility, and other issues, but no low blow dirty attacks other than the one by the National Enquirer. There have been no real sustained attacks on Ted Cruz or his supporters.

The problem is that they have now poisoned the well to the point where a good many Trump supporters would never vote for Cruz, and vice versa.

Have you noticed that Cruz supporters turn to every despicable paper in the nation that wage attacks against Trump?

As opposed to Trumpeteers posting threads with the National Enquirer and twitter as their sources? lol

Regardless of where they come from they are all hit pieces that are destroying our candidates. The usual sites I was talking about are known enemies of Republicans and conservatives. These very same sources will be used against the eventual nominee in the general election.

So laugh that one off when we elect the Democrat nominee as President.

I'm not laughing. Not only are we setting the table for Hillary, we're killing Free Republic, a site I've frequented for over 17 years.

If Trump were president he’d need a full-time staff just to clean up after his gaffes and stupid statements.

Well then you know these candidate wars have been a part of this site every election cycle. This time just seems worse, but it really isn't. The main difference this time is that there are actually 2 candidates that have passionate supporters, whereas there were those that supported the Republican insider against those who wanted an outsider, any outsider.

While some people will leave, others will replace.
