That's what's commonly referred to as, 'whistling past the graveyard'.
If the issue fades away like so much morning mist, then I'll agree with you, but it doesn't appear to be doing that. It's been in the news since Trump replied to that reporter's question, and here we are still talking about it. So are Ted's rivals and enemies.
I agree with Trump. Ted's got to get out in front of it if he can. I don't know if that's even possible, given the gravity of the charge, and the lingering questions our whole country has about the definition of NBC.
I wouldn't wish this issue on any decent candidate, least of all Ted, but it's a real threat to his prospects, and even his potential effectiveness as a president, should his political enemies decide to press the issue beyond the election.
News for you - Just because crap comes flying out of Trump’s mouth doesn’t make it meaningful.
Fifty States out of Fifty States as well as the Republican Party who are allowing Cruz to run in the Presidential process prove that.
