Seems like it just gave you people a cheap prop to politick off of.

Go pound sand and take your Cruz campaign signs somewhere else. For all the respect you seem to think you have for him, I’ve seen way too many Cruz people behave like opportunistic ghouls today.

Frankly I’m not shocked.


Trump is such a goddamn phony here is what he said about Scalia in December.

[quote]GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump says he does not agree with comments from Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia questioning the efficacy of affirmative action.

“I don’t like what he said, no, I don’t like what he said. I heard him, I was like, ‘Let me read it again,’ because I actually read it in print, and I’m going, I read a lot of stuff, and I’m going, ‘Woah,’ ” Trump said in an interview televised Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

The billionaire said he thought Scalia’s comments were “very tough to the African-American community.”

Trump, who has supported affirmative action in the past but declined to say whether he was in favor of it today, said he has great friendships with black people.

“I have great African-American friendships,” he said. “I have just amazing relationships. And so many positive things have happened.”

In oral argument for a case challenging affirmative action at public universities earlier this week, Scalia posited that minority students who were not qualified for admission at elite universities would perform better at “less-advanced schools.”

Scalia was excoriated by Democratic lawmakers, including Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who called his comments “racist.”{/quote]

Scalia made the same point that had been made by Thomas Sowell about the negative impact om placing black students in situations where it was more difficult to compete academically.

The f’n punk Trump went after Scalia and played the lib pander game to try to make himself appear ‘fair’

So his crocodile tears and phony statement are bullshit and you choose to eat it up enjoy the taste sucker.

So he had a disagreement.....and that diarrhea diatribe was what you concluded?

That’s like us extolling Reagan, after we disagreed with his amnesty actions, and then having someone call us a “goddamn phony”.

Trump's comments were on a breaking case based on a somewhat misleading news article that mischaracterized Scalia’s argument. Nothing to get bent out of shape about.

Everybody needs to knock this nonsense off and quit pretending that if Trump were not in this race we would all be supporting Ted. He’s a great mind with the right instincts and anybody who considers themselves American Patriots would be happy to march alongside him into battle. At the same time, we now have a general that ain’t taking guff from the wrongheaded crowd that got us in to this mess. Let’s get the general in place so the captain can build his legions. If the general screws up too bad, we frag him and follow the captain. Some I’m sure consider Mr. Cruz the general already, however I am not in that crowd. Yet.
