In reply to the discussion: Maybe we should have a "I don't like Hillary" group [View all]KMOD
(7,906 posts)116. I understand that.
But when you rec an opinion of a right wing Ted Cruz supporter and state that the opinion writer is speaking the truth, well, it certainly looks like you're on the same side as the Cruz supporters.
Most here are able to make their arguments against HRC, and for a more progressive candidate without using RW sources to make their argument.
That's all I'm saying.
