[Night Hides Not]

Apologies for my absence last night after posting the thread. I am decidedly not a fan of those who post threads, and not hang around for the discussion. I did this as a favor for my better half (who turned me on to FR roughly 18 years ago), and by the time I finished my attempts to link the video of the interview (images are no problem, but videos are another story), I was done for the day. It didn't help that I had just gotten home from my weekly session with my 6th graders (Old Testament).

Wow! Their energy level was off the charts last night...wore me out, as well as my two co-teachers. I fondly looked back to the first couple of weeks, when they were shy and knew but a few of their classmates (we usually have 5-7 middle schools represented).

At first, I was reticent to post this, owing to its age, i.e. 4 months old. I was satisfied with my FR search that it hadn't been posted, so I went with it.

As a Cruz supporter, I see the handwriting on the wall: Trump has the momentum, while Cruz, and his people, have made tactical and strategic errors, not unexpected given this is his first try at the ring. Although I attend Mass regularly and contribute to my parish, I am far from a devout Catholic. My wife (who is devout) and I agree that Cruz' emphasis on the evangelical vote, at the expense of his Constitutional Conservatism, is his biggest blunder.

IMO, here's what we're down to: disagree with Obama, and you're a racist, homophobe, etc. Disagree with the potential next President, and you're a liar, a lunatic, a traitor, etc. And this one tiny thread bears this out.

So tell me, FRiends...why would I exchange one bully for another, one who has said he'll make deals with the Democrats, and who has been extremely flexible on many issues?

Sounds like the GOPe is trying to sabotage Trump before super Tuesday and beyond. They want Trump gone/dead even if it means the GOP will lose. This is the GOPe's "Mississippi 14" option.

Trump going after Islamists is one of his most popular statements so the GOPe looked for any way to try and blunt that.

What I find laughable are any statements by people on here that pretend "they were all for Trump until this clip came to light". Spare us the BS.

The suggestion that Trump would allow Sharia law in the USA is as laughable as the idea that the GOPe wants to really build a wall now with Mexico.

All Trump said was he did not want comment on Carson's position. Why? Because it would have boosted Carson in front just as Trump was getting ready to break out of the pack - he was not always leading in the polls you know.

So nice try with this "Mississippi 14" BS tactics. I feel sorry for Republican voters who are easily fooled and manipulated by the GOPe with such campaigns.
