Trump didn't call anyone a "pussy." He repeated something from a woman in the audience. Is that really such a bad word or profanity? Upon hearing it do people get an attack of the vapors or clutch their pearls? Your reaction is so typical of the GOP elite who decry the rough and tumble of politics.

We need someone who will get down in the mud and the blood and the beer to fight to win and beat the Dems at their own game. A perfect example of this effete mentality is the contrasting way Cruz would handle Hillary's attacks on the GOP's War on Women versus the Trump approach:

Ted Cruz says he won’t use former President Bill Clinton’s political liabilities against Democratic presidential contender and former first lady Hillary Clinton.

"I am not interested in getting into personal attacks and innuendo," he said Tuesday at a news conference in Cisco. "Hillary Clinton's biggest liability is that her policies are a disaster."

New York businessman Donald Trump, the front-runner in the Republican race for president, has used Twitter to black Bill Clinton as abusive to women.

"If Hillary thinks she can unleash her husband, with his terrible record of women abuse, while playing the women's card on me, she's wrong!" Mr. Trump said Monday via Twitter.

Cruz is mimicking previous GOP campaigns like McCain and Romney who would not go after Obama personally. They unilaterally disarmed. Trump will not and he has a much broader appeal than any GOP candidate since Reagan. He is the candidate the Dems fear the most. It is why his name and his name only comes up during the Dem debates.

The Reps have lost the popular vote in five out of the last six elections, including Obama receiving the two highest vote totals in history. The GOP is a dying party, in numbers and ideology. The rapidly changing demographics of this country fueled by mass immigration and minority birthrates will make the Dems the permanent majority party. If the GOP loses the WH in 2016, it is the end of the party and the country as we know it. We need a candidate outside the political class who will do whatever is necessary to win and I mean whatever is necessary. We are in a life and death struggle.

I really do not think you can characterize DanZ as GOP elite! Attack the message, not the messenger.

Pretty good analysis,the stakes dont get much bigger.
How tough does it look in the Senate? I hate the thought that we might loose the senate.

1. I enjoyed both the picture and the Tom Jones reminder. Tom Jones was one of my favorites, back in the day

“Your reaction is so typical of the GOP elite who decry the rough and tumble of politics. “

I would very much enjoy to have the money of the GOP Elite you label me as. Are you a Pincko? - I do not think so and yet you persist.

“Trump didn’t call anyone a “pussy.” He repeated something from a woman in the audience.”
the fact that Trump supports see no issue with his nastiness and yet howl with outrage screaming that Senator Cruz is lying, reminds me very much of the Bush 1 / Perot election cycle. We had the same level of nastiness on FR back than as well

The GOP is a dying party, in numbers and ideology. - Yes, please, it is well past time for a new party that is in favor of the Constitution AND a LIMITED Federal G’ment

Trump was playing passive aggressive with how he treated the lady in the audience yelling pussy, the wink and a nod thing was too cute by half for all we know the marketer staged the whole act. Including planting the woman in the audience.

I wish people would stop using that ‘clutching their pearls’ line. It makes me want to clutch my pearls.

I think public discourse by leaders should stay classy.

We have enough rock stars clutching other body parts and spouting profanity.

And Trump was so delighted with the lady, so tickled that she said that because he so wanted to say it but had to stop short.

Frankly, it was a sickening display.
