... "we" will remember that you and some others here have been so flaming about your support of him and against others that do not. We will make sure "YOU REMEMBER" your position and make you feel as welcome as you have to the rest of us that do not support your guy. I guess pay-backs can be a real bummer then!!! I have never attempted to make a Trump supporter feel 'unwelcomed' (nor has anyone else here done so, to my knowledge). Nor have we 'flamed' or maligned any Trump supporters in any way, other than defending ourselves against occasional smears made by a small handful of them. Speaking the truth about their candidate is another story. Trump's behaviors and his policies are fair game. He is, after all, a candidate for the highest political office in the world. There is an enormous difference between pointing out unflattering truths about a political candidate, and voicing strong opinions about those truths, and attacking, or planning 'paybacks' against, people who support him. I have nothing against anyone who supports the man, despite the fact that I vehemently oppose his election. But I will do everything within my power (including spending 3-4 hours tonight making phone calls on Cruz's behalf) to see to it that he does not receive the republican nomination. And no, despite their abandonment of republican principles, the republican elite will not dare step in and drop your proverbial 'golden boy' into the mix in July. They may be traitors to the original vision of the party, but they are not imbeciles. They fully realized that, if neither Trump nor Cruz is nominated, and a candidate who has received few or no votes in the primaries is, there will be a revolt the likes of which will declare the party irrelevant, at best, or dead ... and they will have singlehandedly handed Hillary Clinton the presidency on a silver platter. Headed out the door. Have a nice day.

It's Cruz, Trump or the irrevocable death of the GOP. I support any of the three outcomes.
