First, I'm a Cruz guy, but have heretofore felt very comfortable with Trump if that is the way it turns out. Joe Scarborough's interview with Trump today is seriously troubling to me, considering Trump may very well end up our President. In case you have not heard, after Trump seemed to praise Putin for "running his country", Scarborough twice challenged Trump over the fact that Putin kills journalists and opponents.

It was Trump's response that really shocked me. After the second time Scarborough challenged Trump with this fact, Trump's response was, "we kill a lot of people too". Geez, is he asserting moral equivalence between Putin's killing his own citizens and the US killing terrorists? This type of response must be explored and challenged in the most urgent manner. We cannot have a President with, apparently, a view that such use of force against citizens by an executive should not even raise an eyebrow. Very scary.
