Yeah, cuz the crowds at Bernie and Hillary rallies always consist of starched-shirt, upstanding citizens ... once you overlook the queers, thugs, union goons, welfare parasites, illegal aliens, crypto-anarchists, dreadlocked hemp-wearers, and pink-haired emo/goth freaks.

You would need the same under the intense lights. Does that mean you have an oily demeanor? Really?

We are choosing candidates on the amount of make up applied? Not since the Nixon/Kennedy debate has anyone in America done that.

My, as they say, "You've come a long way, baby."

Noted how you emboldened short comment about Trump in this article. Can’t defend your guy without trashing Trump.

Besides that this article is crap even though the tiny minded jerk knows a big word. This guy is a supercilious fool. And his freedom to spout off was won by those veterans he mocks.

I used the term “pathetic fallacy.” Look it up.

And yes, I have been under hot tv lights - they’re actually not as hot as you’d think because they keep the sets cool enough. It’s when you’re in the audience, without air conditioning, and they turn the lights on you, that you swelter uncomfortably.

And there are droves of people here at Free Republic that feel exactly the way this jacka$$ at Salon feels. That is the sad.

No, not droves. Just a dozen or so main instigators that spam FR repeatedly with opinions in line with this Salon article.

(Wonder why these kinds of articles get such prominent postings on Free Republic.)

I’m guessing this author feels the Bern every night from his partner.

“Old men in baseball caps bearing the names of military units, moms holding babies in one hand and Ted Cruz signs in the other. Three people by the stage waving flags (from left to right: American, Israeli, Gadsden).” -Salon

“Typical Salon writer, but I actually loved the above; it made me wish I was there.”

I know ... he describes it as if he found himself smack dab in the middle of a nightmare! I won’t let my mind wander into what normalcy must be for him (((shudder)))

You’re right.

Cruz speeches have no substance unlike Trump’s speeches that are full of substance like bad bad very bad nobody likes you.

Now that is just oozing substance.

Trump would clearly be the best president the 4th grade ever had.

If anybody knows about oily and slimy it would be you since you support the ultimate oily and slimy salesman Trump.

regarding the “nobody likes you” statement. if considered as truth rather than substance, then it is correct

the cruz efforts were rebuffed in the senate because pretty much nobody likes him

“No one is more oily than Trump”

Trump never pretended to be the most “principled” candidate in the race. That was Cruz. And Ted blew “principled” to smithereens on caucus night.

“The speech is filled with the usual bullshit that no one will call him on”....

That would be a Trump rally.

“How are you going to fix healthcare?”

“We going to work with doctors and hospitals and it will be great, really great. Best in the world. Trumpcare will have gold plated bed pans for everyone!”

“Do we dare elect a Cuban president? “

Sorry. No Cubans are running for President this year. Try again when you have a thought to connect with your fingers.

Hasn't Obama taught us anything?

Apparently not. You would think that people would be leery of "Hope and Change" rhetoric from a candidate with no record of ever believing what he is saying now (and tons of actual statements to the contrary in the past) and no record of conservative accomplishments. You'd think they'd be leery of the politics of popularity; looking for a savior to make good "deals" for them.

Oh, wait! You meant Cruz? Oh. Then we should have been taught that Cruz is the exact kind of conservative we need as president...

Guess what, I’m glad people in the senate like McConnell, McCain, Graham etc. don’t like my senator.

That’s exactly why I voted for him.

They are the problem not Cruz.

As far as your little 4th grader Trump, he says “nobody like you” to anyone that disagrees with him not just Cruz, so your talking point is meaningless.

As Rush says, “They always tell you who they fear the most.”

___________________________

I agree! The more attacks I see aimed at Cruz...the more I think he is exactly what we need.
