Thank you.

And their more rabid supporters have fallen for it as well.

I’m not talking about the more rational group of supporters who would vote for either candidate and are bringing up valid concerns. For example, it is completely valid to question Ted Cruz on:

His eligibility
His votes for the Corker law and TPP/TPA
His commitment to securing the border and no amnesty for illegal aliens

(As a side note: I support Ted Cruz and I have these questions about him as well.)

Likewise, it is equally valid to point out flaws with Donald Trump:

His past support for liberal politicians (including the Clintons)
His liberal social views
His New York values (9/11 doesn’t give New York City a pass on their liberal, near-tyrannical views and policies)
His support of eminent domain
etc.

(Now, I could support Donald Trump as well but these concerns about him are many of the reasons I don’t trust him, at the moment)

These are legitimate questions about each candidate that should be allowed to be asked, without being called everything but a freedom-loving American!

But the shrill, nasty attacks are ridiculous. Calling Ted Cruz a phony or Donald Trump a clown is school-yard and childish!

Keep it up, children and once these candidates have destroyed each other, we’ll end up with a candidate that none of us will vote for and then say hello to President Hillary Clinton or President Bernie Sanders.

Good post. And it reflects why I tend to jockey back and forth between Trump and Cruz. Honestly, I’m not completely sold on either one. But at least I have a couple of candidates to choose from this time around.
