Good to see that response from Trump.
If he read FR yesterday, it was a suggestion from moi to join with Cruz in attacking the wapo.

Very classy of Trump.

You should be ashamed! Parents may have affectionate names for their children but no one should do what the Post did!

The Urinalist Posing as a Cartoonist needs to be picking up all of his teeth off the street.

I have been thinking for quite awhile that this should be our primary argument against many of our political opponents.

As the president of the Urban Poverty Law Center, I have reserved my harshest rebuke to the cartoonist and the editor of the WP!

Legal action pending.

It was good of trump to do that, but as a strong trump supporter I want a lot more from him.

An few lines during his next rally denouncing the Editor and Cartoonist by name and calling them a common enemy that he and Cruz have would be a good start.

I think it may add a little to his surge. This will pull on the emotional heartstrings of many voters. As well, it will encourage other voters who were unaware of it to view the original SNL ad, and understand it in that context. And they may come into the Cruz camp.

In both cases, he could pick up some support.

I doubt he will lose many Republicans because he defended his children from attack.

No I did not leave off any tag. I remember being really surprised by those words and told my girlfriend he would regret the statement however lovingly he meant it.

No, of course he won't lose. And it will help him sympathetically. But in terms of messaging, this is two weeks going now where he has been derailed on other, shall we say, "non election issues."

I think the slippage in the latest national polls reflects last week's (what I consider to be) diversion with Rubio.

Why would I be ashamed? I am just relaying my fears that the MSM will hunt it up. If I can remember it, in this day and age, it will resurface as either video or audio.

BTW I am a contributor to Sen Cruz campaign and proudly have a Cruz 2016 bumper sticker on my car.

Yes, they will not go without a fight. And we have eleven more months of this to get through.

I guess you’re implying the cartoon is somehow Cruz’s fault. Ridiculous.

Anyone who has had kids understands the difference between a parent’s nickname and a derogatory cartoon.
