If morals and character are such a big deal to you than why do you ignore his past dalliances?

Because they are in the past, they are old news, and Trump has candidly admitted the mistakes, as opposed to being incapable of saying either "I have been unfaithful to my wife" or "I have never been unfaithful to my wife".

For some reason, Ted Cruz seems to be as terrified of saying one of those sentences as 0bama is of saying "Islamic Extremism".

Instead of simply repeating the totally exculpatory phrase that the reporter served up to him on a silver platter, Ted Cruz instead deflecTED and tried to smear Donald Trump once again.

Oh, that's right! It wasn't Ted that deflecTED that question this time, was it?

No siree. Instead, Ted submissively hid behind Mama Carly's skirt while she (a former adulterer herself) assertively fielded the question for him. Mama Carly dutifully obfuscaTED by trying to deflect the blame for the story itself onto the catch-all boogeyman Donald Trump, just like Ted Cruz had done initially.

Pathetic. DefelecTED and obfuscaTED.

At that moment, it dawned on me that Ted Cruz really might have something to hide.

I mean, the initial deflection-fest was bad enough, but to repeat the same deflection tactics again via a surrogate, replete with scripted quips, really brought home the lawyer-esque words that Ted Cruz is using for a topic that logically calls for the exact opposite of that (at least if one doesn't have a guilty conscience it does).

Let me fill you in on something about that video clip: the optics of that moment were very, very bad for Ted Cruz.

But I digress...

When’s the last time Deceptive Donnie was asked if he cheated on his current wife?

Do you think he would answer truthfully if he did?

Would that make any difference to you?

Why should any candidate be asked this question?

Are there any limits to the admissions of a candidate’s past sins you would demand an answer to?

Do you believe in forgiveness?
