“Carter said something. Cruz quoted him. That’s not an attack or a bashing.”
1. Cruz is using the ad against Trump. That is an attack. Why would he spend his money if it were as benign as a weather forecast.
2. Context is everything:
a. It is Jimmy Carter
b. Carter is generally disliked by Americans
c. Cruz is attempting to tie Carter around the neck of Trump
d. Carter knows no one likes him, so he is using reverse psychology. When he said Cruz is not malleable, he conveniently ignores Cruz’s amazing malleability in working with his handlers by voting for TPA and the Corker bill, Cruz calling for more legal immigration and a 500% increase in H1-B visas, etc.
So when someone quotes Trump, is that an attack, too? I think it is. No one should know anything about Trump, and no one should quote anyone who said something about Trump because that’s an attack.
Are you sure? Those of us who suffered through his Presidency really dislike his Presidency. That was a long time ago, so must voters don't have that personal memory. Since then, Carter's earned high marks as the best former President ever. And then there's the aspect of using the words of an old guy with cancer against another candidate.
I wouldn't call it negative, more like not real well thought out.
I’m going to vote for Trump, but citing Carter’s wayward ‘endorsement’ isn’t an attack nor is it hateful.
For his utterance of “Carter” I send back “Glenn Beck.”
No hate here.
