TRIUMPH!!
WELL DONE PAT!
“Now, Sanders did not order this assault on the civil rights of Trump supporters.”
And they know this to be a fact? Can they prove it?
I think he did.
Good piece from Pat! Right on.
GOPe: Give Sorts veto power over candidate messeging.
Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich certainly aren't neutral about Trump being responsible for the planned ambush in Chicago.
Friday night cried out for moral clarity. What we got from Trump’s rivals was moral mush.
What we got from Cruz was a one-sentence disclaimer chiding the rioters and a two-paragraph sermon attacking Trump. There was, however, truth in it: the tenor of a campaign is taken from the top. I wonder if Cruz realizes how damning that is.
What first must be defended is the right of a candidate to speak without being shut down by organized violence. If you don't establish that, if you allow that to be superseded by personal advantage, then you've copped out. Cruz copped out. I have never been more disappointed by a candidate I once supported whole-heartedly.
There is much sanctimonious talk about principle from people who really ought to examine their own. Should Cruz come out as the nominee I shall still vote for him because the alternative is scarcely worth considering, but he isn't the man I hoped for and I am growing to despise his mendacity, his manipulation, his new establishment allies, and his refusal to recognize that if he is the nominee he is next as a target, and all the "Trump had it coming" equivocation isn't going to stop the rioters from shutting him down in turn. This isn't an academic debate, it's a street fight for the future of the country, and pious invocations of non-violence in the face of the violent are useless, pathetic gestures.
