For the record, our Freeper friends have less enthusiasm for Cruz/Fiorina than they do Cruz himself.

Just took a look at the Cruz/Fiorina threads on F.R.

First of all, they have adopted the "Liar" of "Lyin' Ted" label Trump placed on him in droves.

Second, there are not a lot of Fiorina supporters on F.R.

Third, they're calling it a "Hail Mary Pass" from a guy who is going down the tubes and betting it all at being chosen at a Contested Convention.

Freeper "kemster" put it best:

“How does putting two losers together create a ticket that the people will be receptive to? SMH”

...there are virtually no Cruz supporters over there.

They don't have a "primaries forum" like we do, but a sort of unspoken, assumed policy that if someone posts a pro-Cruz thread, the Trump supporters are discouraged from piling on.

That said, they just don't like him. They don't talk about the "alleged affairs" too much because that topic is overshadowed by the fact that they don't like him at all, see him as an "establishment" figure, and have emptied every available vat of Trump Kool-Aid.

no surprise at ALL that they don't like "girls." Especially those who do not know their place.

Because she's a woman. I'm in telecom/tech - have been for close to 20 years. She's a failure. She's done nothing of value with her life.
