In yet another act of gross exaggeration, Donald Trump’s newly-appointed convention manager Paul Manafort accused the Cruz campaign of engaging in “Gestapo tactics” to win GOP delegates.
Let’s, if possible, put aside how loathsome it is that the Trump campaign would accuse another Republican of doing anything close to what Hitler’s secret police did to the Jews. Trump ought to consider what his own campaign is doing.
Whose campaign is charging Cruz with false crimes at every opportunity? That would be Trump’s.
Whose convention manager says angry voters should “visit the hotel rooms” of delegates who may not support Trump at the GOP convention? That would be Trump’s.
Who said he would “look into” paying the legal fees for a man who sucker punched a protester being escorted out of a rally? Trump.
Touché
This does seem a topic that Amanda “Blacklist” Carpenter is qualified to opine on.
The jokes write themselves.
“But, it clearly values hostility and aggression in a way that no other modern campaign does or should.”
It does?.....good.
Touche! It is *that* Amanda Carpenter, yes?
Well look who’s here....little Amanda....standing up for her ‘lover’ .... I wonder if that was before ‘Lollipop’ or after, maybe somewhere in between the ‘candy wrapper’?????
Roger Stone is arranging the seating chart for Beer Hall Putsch II in Cleveland and it is Cruz who uses Gestapo tactics.
wow..... who’s been calling Trump ....new Hitler ...since day one????
Yeah, just the right person to support Cruz.
Amanda seems to be “in bed” with Cruz lying talking points about what Stone actually said.
The Gestapo didn’t only go after the Jews. They went after all enemies of the state in NAZI Germany. They where actually the German Secret Police.
This loks like great fodder for the Trump-Cruz wars. Who will benefit if that happens? Hillary, Bernie, Jeb, Rubio, Kasich, and others who consistently support Amnesty, who consistently support Obamacare, and who consistently support restrictions on our individual, God-given right to keep and bear arms.
Decent Americans are better off with a real truce, and not just a “I’ll stop when every person who even pretends to support the other side stops” gesture toward a truce that will never happen.
The nonsense is not helping us to elect the best possible conservative in November. I want 99% or more of Cruz supporters to vote Trump, when he is nominated, even if they hold their noses. In the event that Cruz wins the nomination, I want 99% or more of Trump supporters to vote Cruz, even if they hold their noses. Offending the other side does not encourage them to vote Trump (or Cruz) in November. I cannot help wondering how many of those who stir up the Trump-Cruz wars are actually paid trolls taking Jeb/Hillary/Soros money to cause trouble - not all of them but probably enough to set the toxic tone.
I stand by my recurring statement:
Cruz and Trump are both imperfect but they agree far more than 80% of the time (see my tagline from Ronald Reagan). They should be friends and allies, and we should treat both of them as such.
heheheheh. I do think her popularity, in her circle of friends, has been enhanced this election season.
how’s your Geheime Staatspolizei black list going Amanda?
Rafael just doesn't know who he's dealing with.
No other modern campaign’s value hostility and aggression??
Nonsense, complete nonsense.
The Dims have been doing it to Republicans for decades...and the Republicans have been doing it to their base for decades.
With impunity!
The Gestapo did a heck of a lot of things besides persecute the Jews. Grow up! Better yet, learn some history.
HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU!
