Trump has done a lot of good in this campaign, but he is human, folks. He made a big mistake in criticizing Justice Scalia in a ham handed attempt to ingratiate the Black ministers who recently met with him. He attributed statements that were not originated by the justice, to him. Justice Scalia is likely the most important conservative on the Supreme Court, and any candidate has to tread carefully when discussing sitting justices. It was an unforced error by Trump.
With respect to the criticism of Ted Cruz, that’s politics. I am a Cruz supporter and I know Ted is a strong guy and handled it well, with humor. I have great admiration for the good that Donald Trump has done in this campaign in destroying PC and making the media look like the lefties they are. But it will take a lot to take Ted Cruz down and Trump was not effective in this effort.
I will admit I don’t know the background of the statement that Scalia made, but I didn’t care for his statement either. And I’m not trying to ingratiate myself with anyone.
