69. More TheRump than Cruzer, but badly polarized

Sat Apr 16, 2016, 05:52 PM

Apr 2016

Officially, RimJob (Jim Robinson, chief nabob and tin pot dictator) endorses Cruz but would happily vote for Hair Drumpführer.

During 2015 there were many factions, but some people got purged by RimJob, especially the Giuliani supporters since he is viewed as a left-wing pro-abortionist.

The main thesis of FR members is that the Republican party is finished because McConnel and Boehner / Ryan have totally capitulated to Obama's marxist agenda to destroy the USA.

About 65 percent of the site views TheRump as a straight-talking man who is beholden to nobody, who will shake up the GOPe (GOP elite, a favorite term of theirs), run the government like the brilliant businessman he is, rebuild America's devastated military, and put foreign countries in their place (far behind US interests). They see Cruz as a lying whining Cuban-Canadian who cheats, is in bed with Wall Street and is not a real conservative because he gave out gift packages to 'illegals' at the border recently.

The other 35 percent of the site views Cruz as a brilliant constitutionalist who is beholden to nobody (because nobody likes him personally), who will shake up the GOPe and run the government like a christian dominion. They see Trump as a careless whining Democrat who is too stupid to read the rules, donates to all parties and all politicians, and is not a real conservative because he ran casinos and has waffled on guns and abortion.

FR is dull between presidential elections but this cycle has been particularly entertaining as the blindness of them all is hilariously on parade and their habit of cherry-picking tidbits of information is on full display.
