Here is what I have posted with respect to the silly attack on Ted Cruz in the Wall Street Journal, which is apt in this context:
An exchange of insults--like pre-adolescent confrontations in a playground--is not an issue for anyone really serious about an American future, to get upset over. That the Journal would seek to focus attention on that exchange--and draw moral conclusions from that exchange, antagonistic to those who have the sense not to comment on that exchange--is to take journalistic absurdity into the clouds of really confused analysis.
Let me suggest that the Journal focus on something that concerns the U.S. Military, that is 1,000 times as important as Trump returning John McCain's insult, with one of his own. What is that?
In recent weeks and months there have been repeated threats from America haters, against our military personnel & their families. Yet the Administration still has Marines & others, serving as potential targets in "gun free zones." Does anyone reading this not believe that that is the sort of outrage that the Journal ought to be concerned with--not an exchange of insults?
Will anyone defend the mental priorities of the Journal staff, in this situation? They, not Senator Cruz, who has a sense of proportion, need to be the butt of condemnation & ridicule.
Very good post. Thanks for your comments. Everybody wants to get into the act, as they say. Let the candidates speak and the voters be the judge.
I don’t think Walker, who bought into the mischaracterization of what Trump said, should have joined the pile up on Trump. Bad move.
Excellent post. Thank you.
