The nation was on the line last fall.

Here you are trying to elevate the individual above the nation.

Do you realize that? No.

It was okay for Tead to pout. Who cares if Hillary Clinton got to appoint the next three or four SCOTUS justices?

P R I O R I T I E S !

You just defended Tead rather than the nation. You don’t see that do you.

My view is that the insinuations and allegations about murder and adultery were provocative in the extreme and deviously calculated to elicit a response from Ted Cruz. Incidentally, Sargon shares that view.

In the wake of these outrageous provocations, Ted Cruz accepted an invitation to speak at the convention, advised the Trump people of the nature of his speech, submitted the speech before it was delivered and received no objection from the Trump camp. Rather, Trump played a theatrical stunt by moving in to the camera range during the speech. Was it a set up?

In the wake of this outrageous provocation, and completely above board by submitting his remarks in advance, Ted Cruz committed the unforgivable sin of inviting Republicans to vote their conscience. How disloyal!

You place all responsibility for this affair on the shoulders of Ted Cruz but you make no allowance for his righteous indignation at the ugly and unnecessary hurt done to Cruz' family. Under the circumstances, Cruz behaved as well as might be expected of any son and husband. Did Trump?

If the nation was put at risk, Donald Trump deserves to be made accountable for his contribution.
