    <<Please see the moderators clarification at post No. 105. This post does talk about moderator actions but it seems important enough to let stand and to allow the moderation staff to clarify a continuing issue. - Lee S>>

    Let's face it, the Republican Party is now the party of Trump. So the titles of "conservative," "Republican," or even "RINO,"are no longer useful in defining a party identity. The forum managers are pretty well set against some of titles hung on Trump loyalists, but what is acceptable that won't get one banned.

    I think a title like "Trumpists" or words like "Trumpian" are sufficiently respectful and accurate to use as labels for the new party membership. I also see nothing wrong with the Party Of Trump (POT) neither derogatory nor insulting but an accurate description of reality.

    What say you?

    One notices that as often as not a Trump supporter will admit to disliking the man while liking his policies. All we heard from Obama supporters was how perfect Obama was and how he sent tingles up and down their legs. Trump supporters are realists rather than worshipers.

    I always say that trump definitely is no angel, he just looks like one when he stands next to Democrats.

    What should worry our leftists is that all indications are that the average voter considers Trump to be a competent president despite his showmanship and Tweeting habits.

    Trump is the first president in a long time to put the needs of America and Americans first. That is also the reason the America haters all over the world despise him so much.

    Hillary's "deplorables" worked very well for her.
    "clinging to our guns and bibles" worked for obama.
    How about just calling us "lying dog faced pony soldiers"?
    and after all that,
    You can call Donald Trump, "Mr President", a title that will remain with him forever.

    This is thread worthy, ROFL?

    How about this ---- grow up, and just call a Trump supporter a Trump supporter.

    Problem solved.

    I think it's great that you guys focus on important stuff like this, instead of nonsensical issues like illegal immigration and the economy.

    And you'll be wondering why you're whining on November 4th...

    I say you've hemmed yourself in by defining your own narrow mindedness. Were you to open your eyes you'd see that we are much greater than the mere party of Trump (POT). We are also the nation of Trump (NOT) and the world of Trump (WOT). So our proper designation is the POTNOTWOT's.

    Trump's base consists of about 20% hardcore Conservatives that will stick by no matter who the (R) is. The rest are people who listened to Trump's policies and voted by who the best choice was. And then a ton of democrats have left their own party because they watched said party implode over a president who was duly elected and did what he promised to do. It's not a cult, it's not a membership, it's not a Conservative, republican, RINO, or democrat. It's a party full of people who were sick of the establishment and were able to put party aside and vote with their conscience.

    Trump supporters are those who are:

    Opposed to government takeover of healthcare,
    Opposed to oppressive taxation of energy under the feel-good label of "Green Policy",
    Opposed to open borders when we haven't enough housing and schools for our own,
    Opposed to decades of political-elites who have destroyed America's middle-class,
    Opposed to endless warmongering, and generally...
    Opposed to everything the Democrats are promising which is...
    Big Government's continued usurpation of power and the left's move toward Socialism.

    There is no "generic" label for a Trump supporter.

    That's why those people call us members of "Cult 45". It's cute and all, but the real cult members were obama supporters. Look at the media and Hollywood still under the impression they're fighting the good fight.

    Yes. Leftists dismiss America and put political correctness first. Trump dismisses political correctness and places America first. As such, he is not the anti-Christ, but rather the anti-anti-American....the bane of the lefts God complex.

    Higher than Trump's. Way higher. Why do you ask? What does that have to do with what we should call Trump supporters?

    Too bad polls aren't run by the Electoral College. :)

    So you could still be dumb as a rock. Not saying you are, but way higher than trumps isn't conveying any information at all.

    Absolutely, and anyone not under the impression that the average Dem Party voter -- and nearly all of the Mainstream Media -- considered Barack Obama to be a genuine Political Messiah, simply was not paying attention.

    Seems instead of breaking forum rules by posting in current events about an opinion or beef with mods you might have taking this up with.. the mods....
