Well, I don't appreciate a "refugee" without papers or proof of who s/he is wondering if I'm a troll. So you can drop that 
in your future posts to me.
I didn't say you were a troll, and I apologize if my post came across that way. But I thought you might be
trolling on that particular post. Also, I really don't know why it matters who I am -- what should matter is the merits of the arguments being raised. I suppose you could google my screenname (which I changed from FR), but it is the ultimate "ghost" name so that probably won't help. But if it really matters to you, I'll PM you my personal information.
As far as the big, mean Donald Trump, get over it. The primary is over. Your brilliant candidate desperately tried to defeat Donald Trump--tried anything to defeat Donald Trump. In the end he was like a trout flopping all over the boat. Just ask Carly. In a nutshell, Cruz was repellent to the majority of voters. He lost all on his own....failing to build a relationship with the people, just like he failed in the Senate, in the Justice Department and during college. Both Cruz and his handful of supporters would do well to face this and work on changing it. Blaming the big, mean Donald Trump can't be used to explain away his next failure.
First, none of his has anything to do with the specific statement you made that I was addressing.
You made the argument that the 11th Commandment was broken by other candidates who were upset that Trump won the South. Here it is again:
But the 11th Commandment never stood a chance after Trump won the South. Trump's competitors lost their collective minds and Trump squashed them. It's that simple.
That was, and remains, a factually unsupportable argument, and that was the specific point you made that I thought might be trolling just to tweak Trump opponents because I didn't think anyone could honestly believe that it was the other candidates, not Trump, who started the personal attacks in the primary. So I provided a bunch of evidence that Trump started those attacks long before March 1, going all the way back to July of 2015. This post of yours in response doesn't even
attempt to address any of that evidence. In fact, you didn't address that point period, and that was the focus of my entire post.
Second, as to the "
your brilliant candidate...." remark, why is it that so many Trump supporters characterize everyone who dislikes him as a butthurt Cruz supporter?
Cruz was not my candidate -- I preferred Rubio because I thought Cruz's personality and style would be too off-putting to general election voters. What turned me off of Trump was the 11th Commandment stuff -- his repeated trashing of other Republicans
that continues to this day. So when you said this, I responded pretty strongly:
I've been a little confused why we're not--together--celebrating and applauding what we've always claimed we wanted: A fighter--fearless, smart and non-pc who would not be intimidated by the MSM.
Do you honestly think
Trump is who "we've always claimed we wanted?" Heck, even a lot of his supporters will admit he's flawed as hell. I can't speak for everyone else, but I never wanted someone who would throw
other Republicans into the gutter. And I'm getting more and more worried that he's going to increase his trashing of other Republicans the closer he gets to the election, because he takes it personally and says something stupid every time someone doesn't genuflect to him. That is going to have a ripple effect as his continued attacks alienate more Republicans, who will then not support him, who he will then attack.... So no, speaking for myself only, this is not what I've "always wanted". I wanted a candidate who would go hard on Democrats, not one who would trash Republicans.
One last point --
The fact that Cruz may not have been a good general election candidate does not excuse everything Trump said and did during the primary to everyone else, whether you include Cruz in that or not. Nor does it excuse or mitigate the things he's continuing to say about other Republicans.
