My weekly visit to Free Republic to check their take on the Primaries.

Same shit just another day. They really do need new material over there.

They love the term Hill-Shill

They harp constantly about the Transcripts

OMG--- funniest question was---will you vote Trump even though we hate him---over Hillary? Now that's got to be the dumbest question ever because of course they will.

They seem to get a kick out of Democrats bitching about Dems rigging their own elections---because we accuse them of doing it all the time.

I'm telling you...visiting there is taking its toll on me!

some of the stench. But the overwhelming total ignorance over there leave a mark after a while.

I know one of our prolific posters in GDP was a long term member there.

I was banned there in 2002 when I signed up with the moniker "Stop Jeb, Elect Reno".

11. More Trump than Cruz

But not by a whole lot, maybe 60-40 tops. The sTrumpettes like their man because he "tells it like it is", and deride Cruz for being an oily Washington lackey. The Cruzbots hate Trump because he isn't a "real conservative".

I still have a well-placed troll account there, from the days of the Swiftboaters when I and a few others intentionally shit-stirred to make FR look even crazier to the outside world, but only post occasionally. It's too emotionally draining to be a 2016-era conservative, they are such awful people nowadays.

just posted a manifesto heaping praise upon Trump and slamming Cruz. The purge of the Cruzbots is imminent, this should be fun to watch.

Visiting there that is.

Actually I guess one of us has to take one for the crew but don't expect me to kick in much of anything when you go bat shit crazy though.

ETA: you do know I'm funning you, Right?
Well I am

so closely, it's creepy.

Sounds suspiciously like you got way laid in some alternate corner of cyberspace, where up is really down, black is really white, and "left wing" is really right wing.

I troll another conservative site and thee are a number of posters there who openly talk about riling up Sanders supporters against "Hitlery." They of course have position themseves as "Bernie or Bust" folks in the hopes of impacting November... They know Clinton is going to win, they just want to sow as much discord as possible.

And for the Sandernistas, I know some of you folks are sincere, but I think you've been played.

Free Republic, because they speak pure Amurikan... My English is fine, but I am not sure I would totally understand what they say over there...how do you figure it out Trumad? And, are there lessons in Amurikan?
