No.
Though mocking and laughing at them should be light hearted and fun.
Trump is only there for entertainment value anyway.
I would guess that those "supporting" him here are trolling for Lulz.
anyone that takes Trump seriously should be pitied.

No. I've had five different accounts banned from DU over the past dozen years, so I'm in a position to know.
By the way, the right-wing DU counterpart (historical note: from which DU was inspired and derived) freerepublic.com is at least as bad if not worse. They claim to be conservative yet the hate for Rand is palpable, even though he is by any measure one of the most reliable conservative Senators there is.

Some Rand supporters here are too sensitive when it comes to discussing Trump.
I think most people here are not going to agree with Rand 100 percent of the time. Discussing an issue where another candidate such as Trump holds a view we favor over Rand does not necessarily make it a deal breaker since we may agree with Rand on so many other issues.
Instead of driving those people away from the forum maybe you should convince them why Rand is better on an issue over Trump. I thought that was what this forum was for, no?

The Rand supporters are pissed because they wanted Rand to establish himself as the outsider candidate by running a "no compromise", straight talk campaign.
Rand didn't.
Trump did.
So they're pissed at Trump for doing what they wanted Rand to do.

No, I hate Trump for the same reason I hated Trump in 2008 and 2012. He is an unprincipled liberal progressive jackass who hates Ron Paul and everything he stands for. Nice try trying to justify your own irrational unprincipled emotionalism though.
Nah,...it's what I said.
Trump is the outsider candidate and Rand decided to carry water for FOX News in an attempt to bring him down.
So Trump has crowds following him around Iowa,..and Rand is in Haiti.
"Let it not be said that we hid from reality".

Yeah. Trump is all "straight talk". His straight talk consists mainly of vague socialistic policy prescriptions and elementary school name-calling.

I'm pretty sure I know why I hate Trump.
I'm a policy guy, I care 100% about Constitutionalist principle, and 0% about everything else. tRump fails that test miserably.

They shouldn't be banned, though they clearly wrong.

I had no issue with you asking a question. What I did have a problem with was when you ran around all over the forum spewing the same crap over and over again; much of it a pack of lies.
I hope that answers your question.

Many who support Trump now are just sick of the political class' lies. Constantly saying they are going to do something and then not, when they get into office. How long has the political class said they were going to do something about illegal immigration? A LONG time. Still nada. And very few have said anything at all equating to how horrible our trade deals are. Trump speaks to those people.
If Rand wants those folks, he should be able to get them. Trump is already stepping all over himself. Just like with Huckabee's people during Ron's first Repub. bid, perhaps we shouldn't alienate them, so that if/when they figure out Huckabee is a poser, they will be won over to Ron. We didn't do that then. Will we do it now with Rand? Of course, Rand will also have to play his part for that possibility to be there.
That's not to say that Trump supporters should be able to go into Rand's subforum and spread their stuff. As I recall, there is a guideline now about that. Plus, if it's bad enough, we could suggest a Trump subforum where all Trump posts would be housed.
