Sometimes, I get the feeling that we (”republicans” this election cycle) are so DONE. This campaign has de-evolved into schoolyard name calling, its pathetic. All sides are to blame in this, and it makes me sick.

Now Ted is resorting to school yard name calling? Pathetic.

This is NOT what Cruz wanted and it is NOT going to help him any at all.

Ted your campaign put out Melania ad to bait Trump. And he took the bait. And now he’s in the boat tearing you up.

So few get this aspect - it's pure game theory. The Cruz' PAC put out an ad 100% guaranteed to get a response from Trump.

Now imagine yourself in the Cruz planning meeting outlining the anticipated reaction(s). Trump responds as expected, setting up Cruz to reply in the exact manner he did.

But like all battle plans, what happens afterward once you're a few moves into the game? Is the risk worth the potential reward ie being able to frame Trump as a low-class bully?

Of course, you cue up your social keyboard brigade to flood the various blogs, message boards, etc repeating the same meme in an attempt to solidify the image.

However, on Trump's side, they're game playing the exact situation, only from their perspective. The key from Trump is to execute a move that hasn't been incorporated into Cruz' thinking, otherwise it's just a route exercise tit-for-tat with nothing unique or interesting.

What kind of a “CHRISTIAN” lies like Ted does, hires dirty tricsters like Roe, doesn’t disavow a PAC using HIS name to trash someone else’s wife?

That’s been out there for a long time. I’m sorry it ever surfaced. It really is nasty to attack family members in a political campaign. Heidi does seem to feel she is running though, which I find unsettling.

“OR YOU CAN VOTE FOR TED CRUZ”
Is it clear now. He is associated with the ad. If he doesn’t object he is in assent by default.

Indeed Cruz is baiting Trump now. Trump gets all worked up, slandering not only Cruz but his wife too.

You really think Trump is emotionally invested? LOL If he is, then he really is a loser. No, Trump knows exactly how to both play act and how this routine plays out; in fact, both sides do.

In essence, this is pure game theory. Each side knows what the other will do to either initiate and/or reply. The only real variable is how it plays out after a few initial moves.

That's the wild-card.

Emory University might have a place for you.

What’s this “personal space” nonsense?

I’m not smitten with Cruz. In fact, I was so excited by the entire field this year but now I’m sick of all of them.

However, the idiocy of you trumpites is turning me off toward him.

Well, to be honest, this has been brewing for too long.

Between the men, between the campaign, between the factions here on FR.

Both sides have been spoiling for it. This was headed to a barfight, and better now than later.

I hope that once the dust settles, things will roll along a little smoother.

No Trump was pointing out that some of the things Ben Carson had put in his book were questionable. He said that Ben calling himself pathological was remarkable. Pathological is a word reserved for severely abnormal like a child molester. The clip was cut and spun and people used it for their own purposes.
The truth is that Ben Carson says some things in his book that were hopefully hyperbole since if you believe what he wrote was the literal truth and the kind of conditions he described are not readily reversed or treated. That was Trump’s point.

Not sure I would have called him a sniveling coward.

A coward, certainly. But his fans are the sniveling ones.

HOGWASH !

Cruz should have disavowed the ad IMMEDIATELY! He didn't and is now acting as though he was the "victim". Do we REALLY want someone like that as the pResident? Isn't the one we have now, bad enough?

This is over the top. Ted doesn’t do a thing for me or the American people. He’s doing it for Ted and the backers who own him.

More and more, people are strongly for one and not the other. This is an interesting bout [for our nation].

That was my 2nd one. She made it possible for me to recognize pathological liars across all the spectrum. I used to meet them in business and they sounded just like her.

He’s so far “beyond Yankee” that he’s from above the Northern US border!
