Look, I've already cast my absentee ballot for him but lets not pretend Trump didn't do one helluva alot more himself with his big mouth to p*ss off "kook moralist" presumably Cruz supporters than just being a cad in his private life.
Of that I have no doubt. I think i've written half a dozen comments on the tactics Trump used to win the primary. (None of which would have worked but for the media helping him do it.)
Trump and his supporters attacked Cruz's wife. They attacked Cruz's character, ("Lying Ted") they accused him of being in bed with the Globalists and CFR, they accused him of being part of the "establishment" which already hated him, and then Trump attacked his father as being a "Kennedy assassination co-conspirator."
No, Trump personally stirred up a great deal of hatred among Cruz supporters (such as myself) and we are right to want an accounting for what Trump did.
But there is no rational way to get there from here without tossing out the baby with the bathwater.
I tried to get people to be reasonable on this subject and they just bit my head off and attacked me over it. People I had otherwise considered rational turned into my enemies over night, and put forth the most nonsensical arguments i've seen prior to coming here.
The Trump supporters over at TOS were just as rabidly obsessive in condemning Ted Cruz as the Anti-Trump people are here in condemning Trump.
It's like some sort of group psychosis. Trump is an @$$. We all get that, (well, most of us get that) but in terms of threat level to our lives? He's a much lesser threat than the alternative.
Yes, Trump caused much of this trouble, but this is exactly the consequences the Clinton campaign wanted when they helped boost his nomination in the primary.
