Let me suggest degree of nastiness is crucial but there’s got to be more.
Suppose you did it in subtle enough manner that you eked by on nastiness.
But the mere fact that somebody is here with totally unverifiable accusations that a conservative star’s FATHER lied about early life in another country when the son himself only knows what his father has told him, and this somebody claims WE’RE being fooled because we don’t accept HIS claims of liar against Rafael?
Not to mention we’re supposed to destroy the son for backing his father’s account of when he was a teenager in CUBA?
Make no mistake, destroying Ted Cruz is what this clown is here for. He could care less about Rafael Cruz, minus the lure of destroying Ted.
This is crazy.
Actually, I like and admire Ted Cruz very much, which is why it concerns me that the story about his father - which he has made a centerpiece of his campaign - has changed and is riddled with inconsistencies.
Because it is not enough to like and admire someone, and to desperately need them to be the hero on the white horse to save the day for your side. If they are equivocating about their background, it’s only a matter of time before the enemy media will ferret out the truth, and then Humpty Dumpty will have a big fall.
It’s unfortunate - and very unfair - that the Clintons and Obamas, et al can lie and misdirect and cover up all day long and never get called on it. It’s terribly unfair that our side is held to a different standard, and their parking tickets are investigated. But knowing that, we can’t just run blindly behind our own version of “hope & change”, snarling at anyone who dares to question a candidate’s presentation or viability.
Because that’s not a winning strategy for our side.
