    Sounded like the same one or two persons repeating themselves.
    Clearly a lovely family that must have been calling on a party line.
    Happy hour starts early in Alabama.

    You're correct, his political career is over. Not because he is any less conservative than he has always been but because he refuses to metaphorically kiss the huge rear end of the narcissistic de facto leader of the Republican Party. The Republican Party of today is not the conservative political party that it was under Ronald Reagan but rather a cult of personality centered around the worship of Donald Trump.

    Disgusting and, yes, deplorable. Anonymity shows true character. Sadly, their character is weak.

    They may vote similarly as I do but we don’t think nor act in anyway the same. Pathetic

    Threatening someone with physical harm is not dissent

    How many of them claimed to be Christians?.. And yes it was disgusting and I think they are outside of the shelter of 1A and should be tracked down and prosecuted.

    They worship Trump. They're pagans, not Christians. The theme of politics in the Bible is "don't be involved," and the Trumpers demonstrate the purpose of that message.

    In some cases I think you are 100% right. Most are just fooled and deceived, but some know exactly what they are doing.

    Yeah, several calls were from the same guy who kept calling AK a **** ****er.

    None of this should surprise anyone at this point. Much of that hate didn't seem to be illegal except for the guy repeatedly threatening to go after him. I would hope that authorities track him down. Although possible, I doubt these callers are doing much to hide where they're calling from.

    It’s bad period. And it’s not free speech, or ought not be. Were pillories still in use!

    I don’t have a formed opinion about him but if they really listen to all these messages, I may call to say something nice.

    Maybe you are the deplorable. I am sick of being called a deplorable because I do not agree with your idiocy.

    It should be noted nobody has called you deplorable. Nor did anyone call you to this thread. Interesting entry point though.

    Perhaps you should actually listen to the recordings. If you are identifying with the freak sending those sorts of messages, maybe that’s a you problem?

    Sadly, your view of the matter seems to be the minority on those who vote like you.

    I guess at a certain point, when a non trivial percent of the party think like this, to varying degrees, at what point does one just decide they don’t want anything to do with such people? Doesn’t mean you have to be a Democrat but I sure wouldn’t want to be affiliated with any of these people regardless of issues.

    In my mind, there's not a nickel's worth of difference between moderate republicans and democrats. They worked together for generations to make America great. It's the extremists who have always been the problem. Right now, It's the republicans, and they seem bound determined to tear down what prior generations built into the envy of the world. Make America great again my ass!

    Most said something like they hope god strikes him down. Not xtian ideas but probably said by those who think they are xtian.
