How does calling Cruz a maniac for calling a McConnell a liar (an attack from the liberal point of view) have anything to do with crony capitalism? I agree with all of the other things you said in your other response to me. But if self financing to avoid the appearance of crony capitalism is now the litmus test, we’ve now resigned ourselves to only billionaires being electable as president. And still, there are no indications that Trump has any long held conservative beliefs...and volumes of evidence to the contrary.

Donald Trump is in this for Donald Trump. We will rue the day he ever comes within sniffing range of the Oval office.

Self financing doesn’t necessarily equate to having no strings or other personal/professional encumbrances.

Well, that’s a bit much. I don’t think Cruz is a maniac for calling McConnell a liar. He was just being truthful. Blunt but truthful. However, bluntness like that from a junior senator will make him less effective in the long run (in the senate).

Trump could’ve been less blunt himself.

Donald Trump has done some good for New York and other cities, but he's made a career on crony capitalism. And his support of Kelo underlines that.

Do you suppose if Cruz can’t handle Trump’s comments, he would be able to handle whatever the GOPe and the media throw at, supposing he actually got the nomination?

If he and his supporters can’t handle it now, later they will all go mad.
