Cruz Plans 'Major' Announcement Amid VP Speculation

[AnybodyButaDem]

Trump, in an effort to "trump" Cruz, will announce Omarosa as his running mate tomorrow.

No, Trump actually wants to win the nomination or have it wrapped up before naming a VP.  You know, like a sane person would do.

Let Cruz own today's Clown Show all on his own.  It's going to go down in history with this moment, but even more bizarre and out of touch.

Dittoes. I've seen Myst, geronl and other moderators ask us FReepers to maintain dignity and class over here. Yet I see the old timers are the ones with the snarky attitudes.

Oh well.

Wait, what?  Did I read that correctly?  Mystery_AK, of course, but geronl has been one of the most abrasive and abusive anti-Trump posters on this board.

I'd hoped to find a place for substantive debate, not juvenile trash-talk.

How do you feel about "juvenile trash talk" about Donald Trump and posters who support him?   

[ArneFufkin]

I apologize for the juvenile posts of some of our *old timers*....they don't know how to welcome to members imho.

Is there any  ... curiosity ... when "new members" arrive and log an average of 40 to 60 posts a day?

There's a difference between folks who are enthusiastic new contributors and those who are tasked to spam a community.

Just.  Saying.

Ah, but this site seems to have two key differentiators:

1. You can put these folks on ignore when they finally get on your last nerve.
2. There does not seem to be an brutal overlord who has clearly picked a side in the debate who will ban you for disagreement.

OMG.  People are coming into my office and want to know why I'm laughing so hard .... all I could say was "THIS"

SHE STARTS SINGING!!!

WTF???  OMG what kind of drugs is she on? Wow. just wow.

The latest breaking news is that, tomorrow, Cruz will announce his transition team and the site of his presidential library on Friday.

And:
3. When the poster in question never has anything interesting, relevant or productive to add.

Effing mindless vandals.   

So that's your opinion of Trump supporters on this forum?

Juvenile trash talk is juvenile trash talk regardless of which side is doing it.

I can't honestly claim not to have engaged in a bit of it myself on the other site, but I'm more than done with it.

Also not a fan of the "well, he started it" and "I know you are but what am I" debate strategies.

If you are so curious, why not just come out and ask, rather than snipe?

[washi]

I'll ask: 58 posts, on average, per day is quite a bit. What line of work, or retirement, are you in that allows you that kind of time online?

[ArneFufkin]

Well ...

In the absence of ANY rational explanation of why Donald Trump is anything but a lifelong Democrat crony and bagman who is staging a hostile takeover of the GOP and conservative movement? Yeah, that's my opinion.

In the absence of ANY rational explanation of why Ted Cruz isn't the obvious Conservative choice for folks who want to punish the imagined "GOPe"? Yeah, that's my opinion.

In the absence of ANY rational explanation for the enabling of a vulgar, ignorant thug as the face of the only political Party that has stood for Constitutionally faithful freedom, security and markets?  Yeah, that's my opinion.

Hey, I couldn't possibly have any lower opinion of Trump supporters than he does himself:   "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."

That's quite an insight into his view of the intelligence and rectitude of his supporters, isn't it?  How could I possibly have less respect for his acolytes than he does?

I consider Trump's supporters either misguided dupes of a con man or vandals hellbent to burn everything conservatism has built down with no regard to what will replace it.   I don't consider either a virtuous trait.

Three types of Trump supporters I've seen at FR. Not sure if all three are on this forum too.

1. True believers. They support Trump's public stances on the issues and believe he will deliver.

2. Opportunists. They could care less what Trump believes. It's all about about power/revenge against both the Dems and the GOPe.

3. Paid shills. The most intolerant and ridiculous supporters of Trump (or any candidate for that matter). Alinsky tactics are applied to silence political dissent. For example, there's someone who pretends to be a black female Army officer. Given the content and quantity posted, it would not be surprising if that person is actually male, lives in India or the Philippines, and on a campaign or PAC payroll to astroturf for Trump.

WTF???  OMG what kind of drugs is she on? Wow. just wow.

I thought it was really sweet that Carly spent so much time talking [and yes singing too] about her love for Ted and Heidi's daughters. I'm certain the girls got a huge kick out of that! And what is living about if not uplifting the young around us? And as you saw if you watched, Carly likes to talk just like Ted does [and she evidently needs no teleprompter either]; they are an outstanding hi-spirited team. And with God's help [and Carly mentioned God about twenty times if not more] maybe they can "C"bisquit their way to a win.

Cruz/Carly 2016!

4.  Sicked of being lied to by the GOPe.  See 2015 Omnibus Bill, 2013 funding of ObamaCare, TPA/TPP, etc. etc.

Stick with thinking we are uncritical thinkers if that makes you feel better about yourself.  Meanwhile, you Cruz supporters have watch him go from anti-establishment candidate to presently begging the GOPe and John Kasich for help.

Why is it that the only time you anti-Trumps take anything Trump says seriously is when he makes an off-the-cuff hyperbolic statement. Really, who are the dupes? The hatred of the anti-Trumps is palpable. The senseless, mindless, vulgar insults hurled at Trump supporters is a direct reflection on you, the self-professed  "conservative Christians".

[austingirl]

I have no problem being politically invesTED in a capable, knowledgeable and serious conservative.

On the other hand, I would be embarrassed beyond words to associate myself with a rude, obnoxious, poorly-educated bully who gleefully whips crowds into orgasms of anger and resentment and who will, if nominated, destroy what is left of the Republican Party to which he has never been truly attached in the first place.

And in truth: it is Trump's supporters, and not Trump who have finally made up my mind for me.

I will NEVER vote for that piece of garbage, no matter what - because of his corrosive and debasing influence.

What you said. Well done. !

If I recall correctly A-Lert I had to remove one of your senseless, mindless, vulgar insults this morning so knock off your sanctimonious crap!

I meant to comment on this post earlier, but I got sidetracked.  This says what I think too.  Great post.

And exactly what did you find so senseless, mindless and vulgar about the post? I asked and never received a response. I would like ALL POSTERS  to see what you consider senseless, mindless and vulgar.
