No strong position against illegal invaders, no vote from me.

Every other candidate in the race, Dem and Republican, needs that K Street/Wall Street money.

I surprised Cruz has been able to hold out.

Huckabee has always been an opportunist-and that word is “besmirch” not “beshmerch”...

Slick? no more like sick, I have yet to hear any Conservative besmirch anyone who wants to legally come to America legally to improve themselves. It was good enough for millions of others who struggled through hardships to do it right, as my parents did.

You’re welcome-sometimes the fact that spelling doesn’t seem important makes my teeth itch...

beshmerch

***
Really, Tapper? So they pay you the big bucks, but you are not familiar with the word “besmirch”?

I refuse to go to the original piece, so I am left to wonder if the equally moronic Huckster actually made a statement in which he used “anyone” as the object of “besmirch”.

He is not implying anything. That’s just wishful thinking. He wants to stay out of the fray. Who can blame him. Still, I must say I respect Cruz more on this one. Trump deserves to be defended on this. I won’t hold it against Huckabee, but neither does he win any points.

Do more research on Trump. He has a weird bunch of political beliefs. I can respect him on this while realizing I would never vote for him.

In a world full of political turncoats, I am not going to write someone off over a liberal-media-imagined position.

The big winner on this so far is Cruz. However, he has not been without his own mistakes. There is plenty of time to decide.

This is nothing new. Huck has always been an amnesty hound.
