Do you think Trump has never paid for an abortion by any one of his numerous wives, girlfriends or mistresses?

Name on thing in this contrived screed that wasn’t true.

The slant is so obvious and repeated that I don't believe it isn't apparent to you. So I'm not wasting my time deconstructing it - it's not hidden.

Ah, the Goldberg file. He is indeed the Father of Lies.

No one should listen to, or repost, a single word this liar says.

No, it’s easier to dismiss nonsense.

And that’s what you folks have finally reduced yourselves to.

Ted Cruz is an establishment creature.

He has been a part of the Washington Scene since 1999, off and on.

He is not a political partner with the worst of the worst in the GOPe.

You don’t wish to see it, so you don’t.

As I said, that’s okay with me. I won’t be a part of it, and Ted is going nowhere but back to the Senate to serve out his term there.

>>>But wait, Jonah now needs to burn in hell. Right, trumpets?<<<

Huh? I thought a Cruzer wanted the Trumpsters to “burn in Hell” when they Posted their Opus that turned out to be a non Opus as they are still Posting here today.

Can’t remember which Cruzer it was though. Was it you?

I can’t keep up with all the CDS and TDS Epidemic Cases popping up around here.

Time for someone to Post the picture of a Bunny with a Pancake on its head.

> Until Trump changed the subject to punishing women for having abortions,

Trump didn’t change the subject, Chris Mathews did. Bye.

Goldberg needs to ck himself, and his party.

He so busy analyzing Trump supporters he ignores the obvious.

The Republican Party has ZERO cred, and is hated by their base...a sentiment that they started 20 years ago, and they expected no blowback??

I agree.

It is easier to just dismiss nonsense.

And yet you trumpers are enraged because Ted Cruz has done just that about ridiculous and slimy allegations about his personal life.

The video and audio and the Jupiter Police charges support her statements.

Again according to you, many still do not see it they way you do. Perhaps that is because you are negatively disposed to Trump in the first place?

I believe he probably didn't know who Fields was, and he probably forgot the incident as soon as it happened because it was nothing to be remembered. Which is what most people would do when something is exaggerated way beyond what really transpired. Especially when much mort important things were happening all through the night.

Apparently you see this as the crime of the century though, because you sure are wasting both of our time on this issue that should never have become an issue in the first place.

Yeah, we should kiss illegal a**, and pander to Muslims.

Thanks for providing a textbook example of a false dichotomy. It is entirely possible to speak out forcefully against terrorism, illegal immigration, and political correctness without being a 24 hour/day jerk to other candidates and the general population.

Do you think Cruz has?

I know. These morons are either so incredibly stupid that they believe their own idiotic writing, or they are complete, desperate sellouts who are terrified of losing what few perks and goodies they have. I don’t know which it is.

Such as Cruz? Laughable, he has followed Trump every step of the way. I guess calling for ‘Patrols’ of Muslim neighborhood, is just ‘Speaking out Forcefully’. Yeah...

Good. I have no use for GOPe snowflakes. The response of some Trump supporters to criticism is schizophrenic. On the one hand, they disdain the support of others and are convinced that he's going to roll to a general election victory of historic proportions. He doesn't need the "GOPe".

On the other hand, those supporters often preemptively whine about the "GOP-E" not supporting him, and thereby throwing the election to Hillary.

Just wish they'd pick an argument. Either you need/want the support of the GOP-E, or you don't.

"Some people say that National Review has become out of touch and unreadable. They are right."

Are you a past subscriber? Have you read the last couple of editions (and not just the snippets on FR)? Or is this just something someone told you?

I don't agree with everything they print (it's called listening to alterative view points), and was peeved about the Mark Steyn thing.
But they have some great young writers, excellent book reviews. And James Lileks.
And I disagree with them at times - they even disagree with each other at times - I think that's healthy.
