I love your argument. Trump has done all this mud slinging, so now the other candidates get to do it except they have the moral authority.

What Trump is showing is that these candidates are hypocrites and can’t resist a food fight. They simply cannot claim any high ground over Trump. Nice try!

Had started a reply that she should read

Trump's twitter before she made that statement.

Last tweet. He does seem to be moderating some. The day's not over though.

I see a moral difference between someone who throws a first cheap shot, and those who strike back in response, even if you don't.

But I'm not claiming any moral authority for anyone. I'm just saying that Trump lacks the moral authority to ask others to stop. And they shouldn't. If Trump.is as tough as he says, it shouldn't bother him anyway.

Brilliant.

Calling for cease fire and solidarity after how this guy has conducted his campaign redefines the term 'bitter irony'.

There are real consequences to taking the low road.

“Trump’s twitter breakdown Jan 20 on twitter pushed me away from supporting him anymore. Some of the cult is starting to snap out of it now, thank God,”

“anymore”?????

from a post you made Feb. 19:

Trump’s tactless brays about Iraq are deeply antagonizing to those who lost soldiers there... politicking on their graves, who is advising him?!?!

Your post today exposes you as a lying Cruz-bot.

Thanks for posting this. She is very poised and has her father’s gift for communicating. No Caroline Kennedy, for sure.

I love the argument. Trump does it and it is bad. Cruz does it and it is good because he is better.

The fact is all the candidates up there took money from Trump and loved him when he was a donor. Somehow now these candidates are better than Trump because they can insult better. Totally twisted.

Why?

Trump is very positive.

It’s the metrosexual chihuahuas that are causing the problem.

How does that make them a “lying Cruz-bot” It says a twitter post on JAN 20th changed his mind. You posted something from FEB 19th, a full month later.

Hehehe - read it this morning, thanks. It is OUTSTANDING and helps explain why Trump was always one step ahead of that bunch. He had a spy there!

You again are misconstruing the argument. Willfully so, apparently.

I'm not saying they're "better" because he started it. I'm saying that being "better" in terms of the kind of campaign you run does not matter this year. So, let them all blast away at each other, Trump included. Fight should end when the delegate votes are tabulated at the convention.

Huckabee’s freaking sister. Good heavens. Huckster joins huckster. Just take a look at Huckabee and his entire poli career— what a jive. Religious whack parlour artist on the order of Reverend Ike (”You can’t lose with the stuff I use”) or the goat-gland selling Dr. Brinkley from Del Rio,TX.

Huckabee is full blown RINO, for certain.
Hates the TEA Party, as does his sister- and both are opportunists, so it figures. How to “fake out” large swaths of the so called “evangelical right” whatever that means— since the “evangelicals” are a widely varied group politically, left and right and both extremes.

Keep in mind how the GOPe is trying to worm this— just like Steve LaTourette’s Main Street republican group, and the Crony of Commerce spent millions attacking the TEA party. Do not be decieved. What is Trump doing?—is it what would be expected of a “not really” conservative?

Agreed. I only wish they’d have started this much sooner. But I think the 11th Commandment still had some sway then, so I don’t blame them entirely.

We are talking about Huckabee’s daughter not his sister!

My name ain’t Trump, and I can say whatever I want.

That’s what they are, metrosexual chihuahuas.
