If you're honest, you'll admit that there are as many 'haters' on the other side as there are against Trump.
What libertybele said above is right on. This is a POLITICAL forum. All of us should be able to criticize a candidate without being called 'haters' and being accused of being 'deranged.'
That goes on ad nauseum around here.
If I find Trump's misogyny or making fun of a handicapped man disgusting, or say that he is a thin-skinned narcissist, I should be able to say it, and others should be able to make legitimate observations and comments about other candidates without being maligned as well.
I should be able to disagree with Trump's Muslim ban without having it insinuated that I don't care about deaths from terrorism, or being lied about that I think San Bernardino was 'workplace violence.' People who support Trump should not be called names by ANYONE, and the person calling the names should not be ridiculed incessantly for everything he says.
It's ironic that the people who kept crying 'attack the candidate and not his supporters' are now attacking supporters of everyone else and claiming it's fair play. Well, it's NOT. Stick with your principles, people. If YOU don't like being mocked, don't turn around and mock others, and if you hate one poster or the other, put the guy on IGNORE for heaven's sake so we don't all have to watch you bite each others' ankles.
This problem is going BOTH ways.
You are correct, it goes both ways. But the problem is that it has went the other way for months, and now a couple of days of Rubio bashing and one poster has left and others are in a tizzy. Yet these same people have mocked Trump and their supporters for much much longer, and far worse than being called a 'Trump-hater'. Hate to tell them but the horse was out the barn door a long time ago.
And there is a legit point where someone becomes a hater. I hate Obama about as much as I can anybody, but even I have giving him credit for the couple of times I've agreed with him. Not so with Trump. I don't like what he does alot of the time either, but it's undeniable he's been raising issues that no other candidate will discuss. Give credit where credit is due despite what you think of the man. Trump-haters refuse to do that, because they seethe against him so much they cannot bring themselves to do it. THAT is a Trump-hater.
But it's went beyond Trump. Now it's come to, 'well I got my candidate so of course I'm going to attack all the others, this is a presidential race, get a thicker skin or another candidate if you can't handle it'. That is working a forum, a calculated strategy, which is the very thing I hated about FR. If you are passionate about something, OK then, but coordinated subterfuge is another thing entirely. To which I thought 'fine, let's play, see if you can take it.'
Well apparently not. And now I'm wondering just how many of those so hard against Trump are actually pro-Rubio and trying to co-opt the forum. I did this to make a point, and it's funny just how thin-skinned the anti-Trump Rubio supporters are.
I'm willing to play nice if everyone else is, and let's get back to what the forum used to be.
