I think you misunderstood me, or maybe I wasn’t concise enough.

I agree completely, I love seeing the figurative middle finger already coming out, but I don’t like the petty, immature name calling going on. That brings him down to their level.

McCain says Trump stirred up the crazies. Trump could have said “Yep, and I’m the head crazy”, then hit with -

McCain hasn’t done a thing to help veterans, voted for reduction of our military and so forth -

Still flipping them off, but using the facts, rather than name calling to do it. (NOTE - I don’t know how McCain voted on reducing our military, just a hypothetical example. I think he did vote for it or support it anyway)

It’s similar to something Rand Paul did last year, and Neil Cavuto did a commentary on Fox about it. Don’t know what Paul said, I missed the first few seconds, but it was basically character assassination. Cavuto roasted him over it big time, he sounded pissed, and said exactly what I think. Bash Hillary all you want, go for it. But use the truth, the facts and her record to do it, don’t just bash Hillary just to Bash Hillary.

Same here. Trump should go after these posers and not let up. But do it with tact. Use their own statements, their records, their congressional misdeeds, but don’t stoop to the 4th grade mentality name calling they are doing. No reason to wade into the slime pit with them...

Graham called him a jackass...Yep, I’m the jackass that just rolled over you in the polls. Later dude...

He could make them look silly quite easily without getting down in the dirt with them. Cruz is a master at it. I’ve watched him make a reporter look silly as hell with a smile on his face, calm as could be and without a word anybody could use against him. And got press out of it too.

You’re welcome to disagree, it makes for a good discussion, but I’ll stick to what I said, I think he should try to do it with a bit more tact, and without the name calling. I love watching Trump stir the pot, (I don’t even like the guy, but he’ll definitely get my vote if he stays till the bitter end) he’s got everybody in sight either running for cover or trying to think up a way to take him down, and it all just gets him more press...

“...Cruz is a master at it. ..”

True that.

I understand what you said, brother. I’m just tired of being polite to people trying to take my Rights away, and glad someone is finally giving it back to the jackasses.

“..but I’ll stick to what I said, ...”

And that’s a sign of character. Good on ya. Just a friendly disagreement with you, is all.

Carry on.
