That describes Cruz supporters. He mentions God and they all faint and go nuts.

Okay.

Here's my question for those who feel such loathing for Trump's statements (I specify statements, because all he has done is talk -- he has no political record to analyze): do you believe that all of the millions who have voted for and/or support Trump are as equally evil, racist, and sexist as you believe him to be? Are they unaware of what he stands for? Or are a certain percentage of them just ignorant dupes?

I ask this because the level of loathing for this likely presidential candidate is unprecedented in modern times. It is a frightening prospect to contemplate that level of loathing spilling over onto our fellow citizens who choose to exercise their right to vote for Mr. Trump.

Put simply, for those who seethe with such hatred toward Trump: do you hate those who support him? Or are you able to separate the political opinions of these people from their basic humanity? In other words, from another controversial topic, can you hate the sin but love the sinner?
Yeledaf, although I am not a Sanders or Hillary supporter, you pose very good questions. I have mixed feelings about Trump but I like him and no one is perfect. We are in agreement on one thing, anything is better than the status quo.

Anyone who's grown up in NYC knows Trump's real history
After the current and previous presidents, yes maybe they are desperate. and they won't be voting for more of the same. So since you grew up in NYC and he won NY, are you the only one who knows his real history?
