Defend Heidi Cruz
by MONA CHAREN March 26, 2016
Is Trump the political genius that some have been hinting? Who else, without staff or experience, could rocket to the top of the polls and remain in that perch month after month despite everything? Maybe its genius, or maybe its shamelessness. The latter can be mistaken for the former. This weeks new slog in the mud demonstrates one of Trumps techniques to perfection he flings filth at an opponent and then invites the docile press to conclude that both sides are engaged in unseemly brawling. (This is usually John Kasichs moment to shake his head sadly and remind voters that, golly gee, he would never do such things.)
The wife spat began, as these things always do, with a Trump shiv. An independent PAC, Make America Awesome, published practically nude pictures fully available in the public domain of Melania Trump from a GQ photo shoot from the early 2000s, and invited viewers to consider whether someone who posed for such pictures would make an appropriate first lady. Trump then grabbed this small ad as excuse to hurl accusations at one of his opponents (wonder why he didnt accuse Kasich?), tweeting that he believed Cruz to be responsible for the ad and threatening to spill the beans about Heidi Cruz if Cruz werent careful.
Cruz had nothing to do the the Make America Awesome ad. But before getting to the rest of the imbroglio, and at the risk of seeming utterly Victorian in this sorry time, it seems to me that Melanias history as a nude model is not completely out of bounds as an election issue for voters. In an era when Paris Hilton becomes a household name for being featured in a sex tape,..... (READ ON)

Not until I know what’s under the blacked out portions of that police report...
Except when its show the snake oil salesman in the lead
I do not believe in polls - In Honors Poli-Sci we were taught that they measure nothing but are powerful tools of manipulation of weak minded people in groups. Saying that I will use them against such as you since you have shown a high level of gullibility.
You knew ivy league lawyers like John Roberts Ryan etc had mastered the art of faking being a conservative to get power. yet here you are voting for another one, knowing hes dishonest and will say anything to win. Its classic insanity to do the same thing over and over but expecting a different result each time. Hes an ivy league lawyer.
Hahahahahaaaaaaa! Seems like the Teddy Bares are drunk again!
Hahahahahaaaaaaa! Seems like the Teddy Bares are drunk again! Trump isn't running against Clinton yet! He is presently behind ONLY in Wisconsin, but is just getting started to introduce himself to the voters.
...Political prediction markets like PredictIt incorporate all available information including polling data and political analysis. Rothschild further stated, the evidence clearly shows that markets where you can bet on or invest in political outcomes are more accurate than any collection of pundits or statistical polling averages and extremely well calibrated. Is it gambling? Is it investing? Call it what you will, but putting your money where your mouth is has a beneficial impact on democracy. People start paying attention in a way that they never did before, so they make an effort to learn about politics, to understand politics, to engage in politics. ...

Trump has a pattern of picking on women’s looks. It speaks volumes about him. He is a pig, and more than half the women in the country know it.
____________________________________________
Why ???
Because more than half the women in the country are hung up on their looks ???
Because theyre sensitive little snowflakes ???
Because a photo of a beautiful woman wearing more than a bikini would show invades their “safe place” ???
Because theyre old fat ugly sows and hate young women who are slim and beautiful ???
Because theyre lesbians and a photo of a heterosexual woman is a threat to them ???
Because their own husbands sure didn’t pick them for their looks ???
Because with their looks they cant get a husband ???
Because they were never as lucky as Michelle Obama to get whistled at ???
Because they wish a rich billionaire would admire them ???
Because their overall jealousy drives them insane ???
or just because they sure wish they could wear a fur rug like that ???
no wonder the cats are all a’howlin on the fence...

Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson rattled off a list of attacks three days after Trump first made the threat.
"Spilling the beans is quite simple when it comes to Heidi Cruz," Pierson said in an interview with MSNBC's Steve Kornacki.
"She is a Bush operative; she worked for the architect of NAFTA, which has killed millions of jobs in this country; she was a member on the Council on Foreign Relations who in Sen. Cruz's own words, called a nest of snakes that seeks to undermine national sovereignty; and she's been working for Goldman Sachs, the same global bank that Ted Cruz left off of his financial disclosure," Pierson said.
"Her entire career has been spent working against everything Ted Cruz says that he stands for," she added.
You need to tell this to Trump and the Trumpkins who in the early primaries were obsessed with polls. This you cannot deny. Trump would spend nearly all the time of his “victory” speeches speaking of the polls. As the saying goes those who live by the polls die by the polls. The most recent national polls now show a nosedive for Trump and he is cratering. Poor Trumpkins who have supported this reality star con artist and vulgarian will be left to put out the smoking embers of this predictable Hindenburg disaster.
Nah you’re taking this too hard. This is what it takes to win a primary if you are not the kingmakers choice. We’ve just never seen anyone actually fight the media and the establishment. It’s ugly but once the primary is over and we have either trump or Cruz the tone will change. More than likely it will be trump and he will sound more presidential than any
One we’ve seen in decades.

Wow, you have issues. No wonder you are a Trump supporter.
What? I didn’t address that at all. I don’t keep track of who dated who when. I leave that to the gossip columnists.
+1
Here’s another +1. Thanks for a needed reality check Nana. Have a Blessed Easter.
Women are not saps. No one with an ounce of sense cared about Heidi’s picture. What a joke this whole thing is, Cruz is running around like a chicken without his head while talking about copulating with rats.
The Donald was very restrained under extreme provocation.
All I can say is....... I hope you're right and it settles down after the primary. I've got a bad feeling about all the anger and division fomented this election cycle
I guarantee the only women who fainted over the stupid pic of Heidi, are women who were never going to vote for Trump to begin with. Evidence is right here on this board, all the Cruz fans are fainting. Really laughable.
On to the most important issue of this mess -
How will Cruz stop amnesty IF (and that’s a huge if) he were the nominee and ultimately POTUS?
He won’t, he can’t, all his backers are for open borders and how the Cruz voters keep missing this is scary!
Every Cruz fan comes back with some garbage about Trump, utterly refusing to give me assurance that Cruz can and/or will stop amnesty!
To quote old serpent ‘it’s the borders stupid’.
This is hilarious! How many does it require to prop up Ted, aka OPEN BORDERS, Levin/Rush/Bush/Romney/Graham/McCain/Club for Growth - I can’t even list them all.
Now little missy Heidi needs protection?
Is Mona going to suggest the same for Mrs. Trump? Or does she realize that strong women don’t need this silly fake support.
This is an excellent point. Large real estate projects can get out of control quickly if you don't watch over them like a hawk. The contractors will eat you alive if they detect one bit of weakness. It's a profitable business to be sure but not everybody can be profitable in it. Take your eyes off a project for one second and a few million dollars can go down a black hole. I have family in the real estate business and they make a good living. But they work their butts off and they are constantly stressed out about one thing or another. I want a guy like that as President with real world experience.
