What the Stupid, Awful Spat Between Trump and Cruz Says About the Sad State of the GOP Primary

It’s the nature of primaries. Or, as Bob Dole said, “Stop lying about my record!”

The main thing is to kiss and make up before the general election.

[dfwgator]

I think both Trump and Cruz are really trying to reach to insult each other, because they do fundamentally agree on almost everything.

And they both look silly doing it.

That it isn’t a sham — as is the Democrat primary?

Very true. This is something that almost no one will remember in a few months.

[Cicero]

“My name is Peter Suderman, and everyone in this country is dumb but ME!”

“There. That qualifies me as an editorial writer!”

[ifinnegan]

Radian sour grapes from our reasonable friends.

I don’t ever read the open-borders, radically pro-LGBT idiots at Reason.

[Yashcheritsiy]

Wait, you mean guys who want to win would say bad things about each other to sway voters?

The nerve of them!

[ClearCase_guy]

Trump asked a legitimate question.
He did not charge Cruz with being ineligible.

And I find Cruz’s response disturbing. I think its a true vulnerability.

RE: I think both Trump and Cruz are really trying to reach to insult each other,

I fail to see how the issues they are debating amount to insult.

[Grampa Dave]

Put some ice on it, Peter Suderman!

[factoryrat]

They’re competing for the same job. Expect some back and forth mud-slinging. I’d rather have them go back and forth than having the GOPe hacks trying to completely destroy them.

[TexasCajun]

At least the GOP field is more diversified than the Democrat field & Hollywood Oscar nominees.

Yep, “My opponent is better than me’, said no candidate, ever.

Quiet now. Do not let the liberal mediots find out what is happening.

[midlander]

America must get control of our debt. No way to expand anything without cuts first.

We are in DEEP DANGER NOW!

Pray for America and Peace, and forgiveness, in Jesus name and for His sake. Amen.

[Biggirl]

.....As well as BELIEVE in Jesus! AMEN!

Well, McCain came close in 2008...

I think you're right come to think of it.
