  1. I would never put political bumper sticker on my car.
    First – never a democrap sticker because I would never endorse a democrap.
    Second – never a republican sticker because I like my car and don’t want it to be damaged.
    There is a reason the election ballots should be secret.

  2. What’s wrong with being a racists? No one has answered it yet. I’m voting for Trump. Wait until those empty skulls figure out that there’s nothing for free and they are going to pay for all of it. Keep the money rolling in I’ve got places to go and things to see. Princess cruises here I come!

  3. BFH; that was a stretch, even for you in your current state.
    It is a valid question that has no bearing on anyone else running.
    Somehow the argument that the large majority of Americans are idiots puts me between insult and despair. Somehow, neither motivates me.
    Or, do you have a better explanation?

  4. —-Why is Trump more disliked…?—

    We are wired to find and fight enemies. But the biggest enemy is ignoring the seed feelings, and hating people that remind us, of us.- Daphne Haneman

  5. John,
    I thought my answer was perfect considering I do not care if it’s Trump or Cruz and would vote for Cruz tonight if it would end this horrific display of dipshittedness from the people who actually think that allowing Hillary the presidency is better than voting for Trump if he wins the primary.
    Also, this thread is about Sanders supporters versus Trump supporters. You just HAVE to jump in and denigrate Trump rather than slam Sanders supporters.
    It shows me where your head is at.
    UP YOUR ASS.

  6. Trump is a racist because all his political enemies and the propaganda organs that support them say he is. It all they have. It all the left and GOPe has to stop a debate on any issue they can’t defend.

    Sadly, too many people swallow their tripe. It worked for Goebels.

    I personally haven’t heard a racist comment from him. Having a strong opinion on illegal aliens isn’t racist.

  7. BFH; just how did Cruz get in here?
    Did you invite him?
    I sure didn’t.
    Can security please show him the door!
    Alright, now that that asshole has been booted, please carry on with answering my question.

  8. In Sacramento and the Bay Area, if you mention Trump without simultaneously degrading him, you are very likely to enjoy being the target of a bit of verbal abuse. There is no reason to discuss the issue(s) with them. They are immune to logic and reason.

    OT – Sanders bumper stickers and lawn signs are popping up like mushrooms up here. Clinton a rare sight. She will have a fight on her hands if Califonira’s primary matters in the outcome.

  9. @bfh – maybe you and JohnS have a history that I am unaware of, but why do I not see you scolding the Trump supporters who jump in and denigrate Cruz and his supporters on practically every post – even if the subject at hand is not about Trump or Cruz? Their Cruz Derangement Syndrome is doing a lot to turn people off of Trump. The more I read their bulls**t, the less I am inclined to vote for Trump. And I am one of those that said I would if he was the nominee. How can one candidate attract so many obnoxious supporters? There is a group of usual suspects on this site that can be counted on to fly in and crap all over any post. It is tiring, and is not accomplishing what they want to accomplish. Unless what they want to accomplish is to make people NOT vote for Trump.

    Sorry for the rant, but I am sick of it. These people have absolutely no self-awareness.

  10. BFH; Such melodrama.
    It is either Trump or Hillary.
    No other galaxies exist in the universe.
    Does that even reach the level of ‘vapid’?
    Just what does that have to do with Trump being so disliked?
    Before the knee moves, stop and think about the question.

  11. funny, haven’t see one pro-Trump comment here, other than Fur’s Trump vs Hillary comment, yet Cruz people come out of the woodwork to attack Trump & Trump supporters.. then claim all those nasty Trump supporters are some sort of hateful racists when the argument is Trump vs. Comrade Sanders. I do not monitor this site 24/7 (I have a life), but I haven’t seen the vitriol towards Cruz … after all Mr. Pinko has been on ‘hiatus’, Mary Jane has not.

    I’m w/ Fur. I will gladly support either Trump or Cruz, but the Cruzers are making it a lot harder than it should be.

  12. Molon, “I haven’t seen the vitriol towards Cruz”

    WOW!

    Seriously? Seriously?

    Anti-Cruz LIVES here.
    It breathes here and breeds like the Alien in Aliens.

    It is omnipresent.

    You could visit here once a month and pick a single thread and find a whole screed that blasts Cruz for his mannerisms alone.

    Wow!

  13. Callie,

    C’mon, this thread was about Sanders supporters being nastier than Trump supporters.
    I thought this could be common ground for everyone.
    Nope.
    John had to make it an anti-Trump thread.

    And I do not scold readers for being anti-Trump.
    I scold readers for disparaging Trump to the point where I think they may hop on the NeverTrump train – which is totally unacceptable.

    Am I paranoid?
    Are you kidding?
    I’m reading NeverTrump everywhere I go.
    I don’t see too much #NeverrCruz stuff, certainly not at iOTWreport.

    I am so worried about the prospect of NeverTrump that I would press a button and install Ted Cruz right now, tonight.

    How many people can you say that are Cruz supporters that would do what I’m saying – Press a button right now for Trump because they absolutely fear a mounting #NeverCruz coalition?

    Now, you’ll see over time that I am going to go apeshit on the Trump people who are starting to whine that Cruz is “stealing” the primary.

    Threats of riots because of Cruz “theft” is stupid.
    Rules are rules.

    If everything is done by the rules the Trump camp has to eat it.
    If Trump goes 3rd party he is a jerk.

    We need to win this thing over the left, goddammit.

    Both sides have their idiots.

  14. Seriously Fur, is there an alternative universe iotw site?
    Is iowntheworld still around?

    I could name a dozen #nevercCruz-ers that are regulars on this site alone.
    I could probably name a couple of #NeverTrumps.

    Let’s put it to a vote again.

  15. Who are the NeverCruzers, people who will absolutely not vote for Cruz if he gets the nomination?

    I will publicly call them assholes right here and now.
    I will play them the Breitbart video, because it applies to them as much as it applies to NeverTrump.

  16. Loco, trust me on this, this site’s readers/commenters are low key with anti- cruz anti trump in comparison to other sites. I’ve been to some sites where people threatened to RIOT if Trump doesn’t make it in because that would mean everyone was cheating just to screw him. LOL. *Sigh*

    And yeah, there are also some Cruz sites that get the vapors with the never trump, etc., but we have to remember, there’s gonna be ONE GUY at the end on our side, and then we have to choose whether we want an R or a D.
    Simple as that.

    If we do get an R, we need to stay on his ass like fat pockets on Rosie O’Donnell to make sure he doesn’t fuck up. We get all uptight during the primaries, and then when our jerk is charge, we let shit slide. We can’t allow this anymore.

  17. Fur, it is not my place to name names.
    I have read here many posts that have stated explicitly that they would never vote for Cruz.

    The thing is, many would be afraid to say what they truly feel because they don’t want you to blast them.

    Have another poll and tell everyone to be honest and you promise not to round them up in the middle of the night if you disagree with them.

  18. Great.
    I hope you emphasize no repercussions or BFH stigmata.

    Let’s see where people stand at this junction.

    It seems that perception is reality.
    My perception is that Cruz gets more denigration on this site than Trump.
    Perhaps a few months ago it was different.

    Poor MJA posts anything remotely negative about Trump and whoa, she gets trashed as a Cruzer.

  19. Sorry Fur, you are selling yourself short if you think your comments are benign and not highly respected.

    Your position here commands strength and carries a lot of weight.
    Folks here don’t want to get on your bad side.

    I think you should parcel out that power, perhaps a “King for a day” editorial control.

    Since I thought of it perhaps I could go first?

  20. @ ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ – I’m busy, too, but I will go back and give you links to many posts where exactly the opposite of what you say occurs. You haven’t seen the vitriol towards Cruz? Seriously? Go look at anything Plain Jane, Gladys, Aggie, and Czar posts. There are a lot of other, too, they just don’t post as much. Willful blindness, is all I can say.

    And BTW, who here called Trump supporters racists? Quit making stuff up.

  21. Mary Jane Anklestraps – Baby, you’re the greatest! Consider yourself hugged.

    Folks, MJA is right. In November we go in the booth and vote R or D.

    In 2008 I got drunk, held my nose and voted for that RINO John “Last In His Class” McCain. In 2012,I got drunk, held my nose and voted for that RINO “Mittens” Romney.

    This time around, we have the luxury of a choice between Trump or Cruz, either of which will give Sanders or Clinton a beatdown that will make millions of precious snowflake LibTards go crying for their goddam safe space.

    I’m old enough to remember the 1968 and 1972 elections. In ’68 Nixon barely beat Humphrey despite the Democrat Party doing everything it could to steal the election. In 1972, Nixon won in a huge landslide against the leftist asshole McGovern.

    And I agree 100% with MJA when she says we stay on our guy’s ass after he wins election to make sure he sticks to his friggin’ promises. No more slack, no more forgiveness. Hold Them Accountable.

    In Sacramento and the Bay Area, if you mention Trump without simultaneously degrading him, you are very likely to enjoy being the target of a bit of verbal abuse.
    ———————————————————

    Go north of Sacto and you’ll be in the State of Jefferson territory. Most I’ve met like Trump and will vote for him. You need to get out more and find out what people really think and believe north of Sacrademented.

  23. ….and another thing…..

    I have contributed $50 to Trump and $50 to Cruz. I have a Cruz sticker on my truck’s backwindow. I’m waiting for my Trump merch to arrive so I can put a Trump sticker next to the Cruz sticker. My point? I’m a pirate – I’m voting AARGH! regardless of who gets the Republican nomination.

    And guess what? Also on my back window is a sticker in the shape of the USA and it says…..(ahem)…..FUCK OFF, WE’RE FULL. (Available for $5 on Amazon)

  24. Charlie Walks – I’m going to go to Sign Here and have them make up a batch of stickers for me: a Pirate Skull and Crossbones and the slogan “Pirates Vote ‘AARGH!’ “

  25. I agree with riverlife_callie and LocoBlanco about being turned off by rude, loud-mouthed, anti-Cruz, Trump supporters. It sure makes me think about not voting for a guy who attracts that kind of obnoxious followers.

    And maybe I’m going blind, but I don’t see nearly as many rabid Cruz supporters as I do Trump supporters. I’m 50/50 on these two motherf*ck*rs. I WILL vote for the leading non-communist candidate IF MY HEAD DOESN’T EXPLODE listening to all the bullshit slinging before then.

    It’s like this: If I am in a store shopping for whatever and some asshole comes up to me with a hard-sale pitch, trying to steer me into buying anything at all — that is when I go shop somewhere else. F*ck anybody who tries to take advantage of my good nature. Treat me with respect and I will respectfully listen to what you have to say. It’s real easy to convince me about something if you use common sense and if it doesn’t set off my well-tuned bullshit detector.

    People can make up their own minds without having to wallow through knee-deep bullshit and propaganda mixed with hateful jabs at the guy they are leaning toward voting for — which ever guy that may be. I wish it would stop on both sides. How much of that shit do we need, and WTF is it good for? I don’t see it making any new converts. Enemies, maybe so, but it’s not winning any new voters and it’s probably causing a few to choose bernie or hillary because their propaganda is not as violent for some strange reason.

    So I did mention that ass-fag Bernie. Not totally OT here.

    Just a little more respect for one another please, that’s all. Friends might fight once in a while, but not every f*ck*ng day!!! What the hell is that? I’ve seen several already talking about leaving this site because of you know what. Don’t run everybody off with your extreme candidate loyalty, whoever you may be.
    And think about what a big ass you will be if your guy gets busted for something that’s real. Or worse, the dems take all the winnings because of all the chaos on the Right and the voter confusion it causes.

    Ok, I’ll stop here. The rooster is crowing.

  26. I want the the Trump/Cruz drama to stop before the Dems figure out a way to exploit it.

    On the other side, the choices are pitiful. Hillary is a lying, greedy, corrupt, Dem establishment whore. Sanders is more straightforward and is completely open about his desire to turn America into a straight-up socialist disaster on the European model.

    Both alternatives are entirely unacceptable. On the R side, we at least have the luxury of having to choose between
    a great Constitutionalist and a seriously pro-business guy who understands finance better than any other candidates and can make us have jobs coming out our asses if he’s elected. Either one is miles better than both of the Dem choices.

    WAR IS BAD FOR REPUBLICANS AND OTHER LIVING THINGS. Let’s cut it out, shall we?

  27. BFH; First, I didn’t go after Trump, I asked a legitimate question that pertained directly to the video. It was not anti-trump unless he video was anti-trump.
    Second, as to not knowing who the nevercruz people are, just a few days ago you got into a row with one and deleted a post he made. He posts here every day.

  28. Actually Loco took the first shot…Now come on, you are going to give all the Cruz-haters on this site a sad.

    🙁 ……

    This was about Trump and Sanders but Cruz guys felt left out and after Loco opened the door others followed his lead.

    My other post was right, some are just wired to and look for a fight. Trump calls the others liars and makes them out to be kooky – that hits home and they fight back with violence and mean spirited name calling.

    Fighting back Bernie (and not Trump supporters) call Trump racist, mysogonist, a crook, a liberal his voters ignorant etc. Pretty much false so it really doesnt leave much of a mark on them, they dont fight back as hard. They debate, which to Sanders (and not Trump supporters) voters is racist, lacking selfawareness etc.

    The circle of life in politics 🙂

  29. Aggie, you just proved my point.
    BTW, if you can’t take a joke…

    Me, I CAN take a joke, it’s the incessant posting of negative denigrating screeds and links to disreputable sites is what gets me.
    These are heated, nasty postings, not laced with humor, only venom.

    My whole point on this thread was simply an acknowledgement that Cruz gets blasted daily here.
    I don’t care what happens at other sites, MJA.
    I was talking about iotw.

  30. No I didn’t, Loco. You whining again about support for Trump proved mine.

    In this thread your joke was about trashing others, as are all your funny taunts….hardy har har har….we get it.

    Be honest about it though, it was a derail with a purpose. You wanted to bash Trump supporters here, and you did. Like any good politician 😉 you were deceptive and hid behind the awful “Cruz haters” You saw the opening where Sanders people were more violent and tried to steer the discussion to Trumps people were actually the violent nasty ones here. Except, it was you being nasty and playing the victim.

    Where in your conservative world view are people not allowed to have strong feelings that don’t echo yours? To deny Trump is blasted daily here as well is just silly.

  31. Aggie, wrong again.
    *sigh.
    I didn’t bash Trump supporters at all.
    I went after Cruz bashers, those with the irrational hatred towards a damn good man.
    Yuuuge difference.

    I didn’t come up with:
    “Why is Trump more disliked than any other potential candidate?”

    I pasted it in my comment to make a point that it aint all about Trump.
    You guys live in an alternate reality.
    You simply won’t acknowledge your extreme prejudice towards Cruz.

  32. Loco, you love to remind others how they lack any selfawareness. It is funny coming from you.

    “I didnt bash trump supports at all.”….Yeah, giggle… just Cruz haters- sheesh (you remember you made it about IOTW, right?)

    “Cruz as a damn good man”….debateable as it’s a personal opinion

    “It ain’t all about Trump” ….thats true, it was and Sanders, too. Until you pulled Cruz haters into it. Maybe I just keep missing all the Sanders and Hillary posters here who trash poor Teddy all the time. (because, again you made it clear you’re talking about here at IOTW, remember?)

    “…You guys…..alternate reality….extreme prejudice..”….you sound like a stalker who is off his meds. Not much more to say to anyone who seems so enamored it comes close to creepy.

    Good luck, Loco. All I want is not to have a Pres. Clinton

  33. Aggie – You don’t debate. You make broad statements, and accuse other of being (pick one): thin-skinned, a parasite (see above), whining, deceptive…

    And that is just from this thread.

    I don’t have a problem with people having strong feelings, as you imply above. I have a problem with being insulted on a daily basis because my strong feelings don’t match yours.

  34. You have no idea what my feelings are. I have only responded and debated facts. Many of which you just dont like.

    I posted Trump is bashed daily, as well. You question I claim Cruz isn’t bashed. Where did that come from?

    Whining?, reread the thread many whine when their guy is not put in a good light, in this thread its Cruz supports. Guess what, Cruz wasn’t even the point of the thread.

    Deceptive?,yes – unless you can explain how “Cruz haters” are not the Trumps supporters here. Maybe I gave Loco too much credit, but I doubt it.

    Parasite?, I never used the word towards anyone.

    Being insulted on a daily basis? Come on. That’s a common theme among posters who in turn insult others they oppose. For example, I’m a champ Cruz basher who you thought needed guidance with a snarky link. Or the alternate reality, extreme predujudice, irrational hatred, lacking selfawareness, post from vile sites some Trump supports are called and accused of daily.

    Its a two way street and your selective outrage is noted.

  35. Aggie – sorry – the parasite remark was on a different thread that I read the same night as this one where two different Trump supports called JohnS a parasite. If one of them was not you, I apologize, but I really don’t have the desire to go through all the back posts to find it. You can chose to think I made it up as you like. If was only one example anyway.

    The confirmation bias link was not at all snarky. It is a valid example of what often happens in situations like this. I am probably guilty of it somewhat myself. It’s the only thing that explains the two completely opposite viewpoints people have here about Trump-bashers and Cruz-bashers. People see and believe what confirms what they already believe.

    It’s hilarious to be accused of selective outrage and snark by you. Your last post above was the Queen of Snark. There is no use continuing this. I haven’t changed your mind and you haven’t changed mine.

  36. I see that nobody will touch my question.
    Trump’s negatives are higher than everyone else, including Hillary.
    Even with all the campaigning, they really haven’t budged much at all.
    Why hasn’t America warmed up to trump?
