Who is Really Using ‘Gestapo’ Tactics?
Conservative Review ^ | 04/13/16 | Amanda Carpenter

Posted on 04/12/2016 7:21:52 PM PDT by writer33

In yet another act of gross exaggeration, Donald Trump’s newly-appointed convention manager Paul Manafort accused the Cruz campaign of engaging in “Gestapo tactics” to win GOP delegates.

Let’s, if possible, put aside how loathsome it is that the Trump campaign would accuse another Republican of doing anything close to what Hitler’s secret police did to the Jews. Trump ought to consider what his own campaign is doing.

Whose campaign is charging Cruz with false crimes at every opportunity? That would be Trump’s.

Whose convention manager says angry voters should “visit the hotel rooms” of delegates who may not support Trump at the GOP convention? That would be Trump’s.

Who said he would “look into” paying the legal fees for a man who sucker punched a protester being escorted out of a rally? Trump.

Says the woman who created the blacklist of Trump supporters. Sounds pretty much like a gestapo tactic to me.

Cruz’ positions have always been consistent and tRump’s change sometimes within the same news cycle once he starts getting pushback?

Cruz has been articulating his political positions for more than two decades, so he is much smoother at it than Trump. When Trump's positions change, it's usually not "build a wall, no give them all Amnesty". It's more a case of "prosecute the woman getting an abortion, no not quite that but put a stop to abortions". If you look at Trump though, he has been generally against abortion for several years, and it's only the details on his opposition that change, not the fact that he opposes it. Trump has been generally against illegals for several years, and it's only the details on what to do about that problem that change.

Who are you really channeling - Beck or Levin?

Do you think that those who Cruz is using to subvert the actual voters are actually loyal to Cruz or to their (and apparently his) real masters - the GOPe?

I do not get what that has to do with Cruz adopting some of Trump’s positions.

She apparently doesn’t like Trump going after her “Daddy Cruz”.

I’ve got more special names for the special people who have fallen for tRump’s con. My personal favorite is Branch Trumpidians.

The guy who has actually hired illegals, once he decides to run for president, now uses “build the wall” as an applause line in his speeches. He’s adopted a position that many other conservatives in the race have held for many years. In other words, tRump wasn’t the first to take that position, but he co-opted it. Pretty simple, really. Maybe that’s the problem, it’s too simple.

Cruz didn’t until November, once Trump made it popular.
