Oh yeah
I remember this one. This was so terrible. Ted actually had the AUDACITY to socialize with gay people and treat them kindly.
He had the NERVE, apparently, to say if one of his daughters wound up gay, he wouldn’t ostracize her from his life.
As I recall, in fact, it was the two gay men who hosted this who caused a firestorm for themselves from the gay community, who looked at them as traitors and promised never to patronize their properties again.
Cruz defended them from their own “people”.
And looking at the article, as I also remembered, it was not a fundraiser. So it’s a stretch to say Ted was “begging” for anyone’s money.
Also in the article:
Mr. Reisner said he and Mr. Weiderpass jointly own the duplex apartment where the event was held. He said that a third host, Sam Domb — another partner in their business who used to work with Rudolph W. Giuliani, a Republican and a former mayor of New York — was also a property owner there.
The three men are strong supporters of Israel, as is Mr. Cruz. Mr. Reisner, who said members of his family perished in the Holocaust, said Mr. Cruz’s foreign policy views were part of the appeal for people like Mr. Domb.
Gee, it couldn’t have been a mutal support of Israel type of thing, could it?
NO, it HAD to be that Cruz was “sucking up” to gays for money.
In all of this JUVENILE “stuff”, Trump and Trump supporters don’t seem to even realize he resides in the pretty much the largest glass house of anyone running.
Yeah, he’s not funded by the Goldman Sachs of the world. That’s his “safe spot.”
But every time he opens his mouth to criticize someone, he’s leaving a wide opening in a different way on usually the exact same subject.
“Not a lot of evangelicals come out of Cuba”?
How many evangelicals say they never ask God for forgiveness Donald?
“Ted isn’t as strong on marriage values and same sex marriage as he wants to let on.”
“How strong have your marriages been, what was your stance on Kim Davis, the Supreme Court’s ruling on SSM, and why the fascination with “Caitlyn” Jenner as a judge for your pageant, Donald?”
Admittedly,the last part is mostly a turnoff for pure and strong social conservatives, like me. And even with that, I don’t particularly care that he’s been married 3 times.
But when you’re all mouth, all ego, and yeah you do love the country, apparently you become completely unaware that all 4 walls around you are nothing but glass.
Ted is a-ok with New York values, despite his cynical desperate political posturing.
Bottom line: trump is trash.
Cruz or lose. America.
