“The more obnoxious remarks I see from Trump supporters the harder it is for me to support him.”
I guess you are still a “Big C” conservative. Fine, if that floats your boat, but I feel I’ve been sold a bill of goods by “conservatives” my entire life and now I find out that most of them were just using the term to cajole me into giving them my vote when, in reality, they were just crooked shills for big money business interests. Rush and Levin are in that bunch in my opinion, along with Cruz and Rubio. They are all charlatans who have no principles excepting gaining control of our government for those who pay them.
You know after WWII Chiang Kai Shek took over China, but he didn’t follow through with the promised reforms, always telling his people that when he just got a little more power, he’d do what he’d promised. So along came the Communists, passed out guns to the farmers and told them to shoot anyone who showed up from the government. Well, the GOPe have been like Chiang Kai Shek all of my life, but now Trump is passing out “guns” and I’m all for it. The current crop of DC leaders should all be hanging from lamp posts on PA Avenue, along with most of our “captains of industry,” metaphorically speaking. We really need a good “coup!”
I realize that this is an in-group forum where people like to let off steam. Still, it's read by -- or indirectly influences -- millions of persons. It's important that Cruz supporters, even Bush supporters and Kasich supporters, show up on election day and vote against Hillary -- that is, for Trump (the only viable alternative). We all know that persons in the opposition disagree about many things. A little restraint in the insults until after the election, though -- not a total cessation of criticism, of course -- may serve to bring about a better result.
Taking Rush as an example, that's exactly what he does. It doesn't guarantee victory, but it's better than tearing ourselves apart, and allowing Hillary to march on to victory against a weakened opposition.
