This post is almost the exact version of this post by springwater13. What’s going on here?

>> Old saying is follow what politicians do, not what they do.

Not to be a pain, but that seems to be a contradiction. Perhaps I’m not grasping the Confucianism.

Cruz’s campaign took on a different level of aggression over the holiday with the out-of-control begging for campaign donations....email, phone, mail. It made me wonder if Cruz was worried about something.

You’re embarrassing yourself. This is a forum for adults.

Funny, I could have sworn Cruz had taken to attacking Trump, in an effort to wrestle Iowa from him, first.

Trump can’t help himself.

It has nothing to do with strategy. Trump feels like he has to pick fights with people regardless of the situation. He’s a jock.

Wouldn’t the same be true of the Cruz campaign?

Well played.

To expect primary opponents to play nice with each other is rather odd.

Cruz and Trump should go after each other. The survivor will need to be battle tested because the GOPe and the Democrats will be fanatics with no scruples about fair play.

Trump attacks. It’s what he does. Never goes on defense and it worked quite well.

Interesting. I’m trying to find the tape with donors online. Do you have a link? Thanks.

...follow what they do, not what they do? John, you are a sloppy writer, too lazy to edit your own wonderful plagiarism?

For Trump, winning is everything. If you have to win ugly, then win ugly, but win.

For normal people, that kind of thing is refreshing when its turned against our common enemies, but it wears very thin when its turned on people we like. So it works with the obamists and clintonites, and even with guys like Bush. It doesn’t work so well with Cruz, and could even back-fire.

It is certainly rubbing me the wrong way.
