>>>”Gestapo HOW, exactly?”

“Gestapo” was Manafort’s choice of adjective when describing the Tea Party, Super Genius.

Claiming that Manafort calling out Cruz’s underhanded activities to circumvent regular GOP voters and install his supporters in districts where he lost badly (among other things) is insulting “the Tea Party” is simply in-your-face dishonest. But I expect no less from the Cruzers at this point.
I agree that Manafort should not have used the term “Gestapo tactics.” “Brownshirt tactics” would have been more accurate, as it was the Brownshirts (the S.A.) that were Hitler’s political police arm that he used to intimidate and install his supporters and silence his detractors wherever possible in order to get into power, regardless of the will of the people. That’s a more appropriate comparison. The Cruzers seem to forget that historically it is overwhelmingly the action of dictators, not legitimate constitutionalists, who try to deny and work against the will of the people. And no, “it’s within the rules” is a very poor excuse on moral and rational grounds.
Soo, you’re supporting Trump as the GOP nominee in November, correct?
