I'm always amused by people complaining about personal attacks. Oh, my, is right.

Thank God TBR has an easy to use data search engine. You can look up each of these posters and see how nasty they've been to Trump supporters, calling us every demeaning name in the book!

Search engines are our friends.

You have this annoying habit of labeling statements made about Trump supporters in general as personal attacks against TBR members. Not so.

That's right. Her PAC is focused on stopping Trump. She was for Rubio and Perry before him but the PAC has put out ads encouraging people to vote for whatever candidate is doing the best against Trump in that given state.

So she is anti-Trump and will stoop as low as she sees fit, like a liberal, to attack and insult.

It is amazing the difference between anti-Trump posters and us. It really is on all levels. They are allowed to attack us on a hourly basis. This place has become like the Democratic Underground.

Except that Democrats are crossing over to vote FOR Trump.

It is conservatives who oppose Trump, and this place bears no resemblance to DU whatsoever.

The hyperbole doesn't help the argument. It diminishes it.

That is a repeated problem. Multiple times people are criticizing Trump and the response from the pro-Trump people is a personal attack on the poster. They are perceiving comments against Trump as comments against themselves, and then retaliate.

Perhaps their identification with the candidate is so extreme that they personalize what is saying as being against them.

Hillary and Bernie oppose Trump. So according to you, they are conservatives.

Trump himself stoops as low as he can go to attack and insult. He deserves no comity or respect whatsoever, and certainly gets none from me.

I'm intrigued how so many Trump supporters echo his bullying ways - and then whine about the Trump "haters".

How is publishing a photo of Melania that a 12 year old can Google "Stooping low"? Or insulting?

Trump made sure that photo got worldwide exposure (pun intended) by making such a big deal of it. Or, maybe,that's what he wanted all along.

His tweet last night was just an angry outburst which will certainly not help him with even Republican women.

Actually, I'm not worried about myself. The country is going to have an horrific 4 years if Trump is our nominee.

And, even after 8 years of Obama, I still don't want America to die......

IOW...by your own words, you admit that Trump will win in November if he snags the Nomination.

Thanks for clearing that up, ML.

The entire "wives" topic was initiated by Cruz' support PAC. Trump has threatened, but NOT made any revelations about Cruz' wife.

If you don't want trouble started, it is best to advise your PACs to not do so on your behalf.

Spare me the bit about no contact between candidates and PACs since I am fully grown.

The only "whining" and "bullying" I see here is that of the anti-trumps. It is incessant and pitiful. Liz decided to play dirty and she got dirty. She should be ashamed of herself and apologize for her poor taste. You'd think someone as educated and worldly as Liz would have more sense. (Then again, look at those she's chosen to support)

Well how did you read my comment if I was on ignore in the first place? Do you put any intellectual effort into your posts or do you just read "Trump bad" and post anything that comes to mind to defend it?

It was not a Cruz support PAC. It was an anti-Trump PAC. It has no relation to Cruz.

I don't know how many times this has to be pointed out. I'm getting the impression that the Trump supporters here have a vested interest in propagating this falsehood.

Otherwise, their defense of their boy falls apart.

Intent. Even you should be smart enough to figure that out. You use it yourself frequently here on this forum.

The Trump people have been shopping the story about Heidi Cruz having a bout of depression years ago for 5 or 6 days now but even the MSM won't go that low.

Funny, I've noticed that the two candidates with the highest unfavorables - Trump and Hillary - also are the two that get the most votes. Maybe people are voting for who they think will win, rather than who they like.
