Hmm...I think caution is the byword on this one. It's impossible to tell who's telling the truth.

It may or may not be impossible,but a way to get a good sense of what's true is to learn which way the brother leans politically/philosophically.

For that matter,the article mentions "discipline" (my word) with a belt.That suggests to me that the candidate could well be telling the truth.Families with "skeletons" in their closet often scream bloody murder when one tried to open the door to that closet.

I don't really think it matters all that much. In one way or another this is a nutcase candidate with a nutcase family and a nutcase background.

I have no real interest in finding out who's telling the truth and who's not on this one. Let 'em all disappear.

It's a losing campaign, either way, so why tarnish the GOP with crap like this. Shine it on, as we used to say.
