The Dishonest Trumpeter Narrative: ... (how it works) And all he got was this ZOT!

FULL TITLE: The Dishonest Trumpeter Narrative: “We Switched from Cruz to Trump After Chicago!” Is a Lie

...

When Trump people wage psychological warfare, we must remember that it’s phony and dishonest like the man himself — as I will prove in this post.

Let’s go straight to their phony psychological warfare. Trump people have been pushing a narrative that says: “I was for Cruz until he failed to support Trump’s free speech in Chicago on March 11. Now I’m all in for Trump.” This narrative is a lie from top to bottom.

First, let’s look at some of the messages to that effect on Twitter: ...

when Ted blamed the Chicago riots on Trump’s rhetoric, I know for certain that it made me switch.

I used to say I could vote for Cruz if Trump didn't secure the nomination. Now? No way in hell.

I *saw* on social media (read that: Fakebook, Twitter) for three days before Trump's rally in Chicago how different groups were all coordinating disrupting the rally. None of it was a surprise. The Chicago Police knew it was going to happen, anyone who paid attention to what was going on knew it was going to happen.

In FACT, anyone who read the Second City Police Blog (Chicago PD blogspot site) read that the Chicago PD were ordered to STAND DOWN and not arrest ANYONE, most especially the "black lives matter" idiots, by Rahm Emmanuel.

So Cruz blaming Trump for that fiasco pushed me right into the "no way in hell" I'd vote for Cruz camp.

Lyin' Ted indeed.

When asked to release his tax returns, he stalls.

Tax returns are private, and there's absolutely no legal requirement to release them.

In other words, go pound sand. Donald Trump will release his tax returns when and if he feels like it.

What are you, some kind of Establishment Democrat calling for this? Or like Marco Rubio called for? Or like Ted Cruz called for it? (Another clear warning sign about Cruz)

Boy, you're just parroting the Establishment line and checking every single box on the Trump-hater's checklist.

But at least you're not just a water-carrying Establishment lackey...

It’s disgusting, but look at it this way...

This sort of stuff is far, far less damaging if it gets aired out now then if it breaks during the general election.

If Cruz is clean as a whistle, we find out now. If he implodes, he does it now when there are other candidates available. If his campaign survives, this sort of stuff will inoculate Team Cruz against allegations off all sorts unless there is incontrovertible proof he “did it”.

One thing Obama has shown is that a politician can commit almost any crime or error and if the resolution is delayed long enough, then the penalty goes away completely or is insignificant. The IRS scandal was “old news” by the time the justice department declared it a non-event. Obama not only delayed the consequences of the Benghazi fiasco beyond the election, it has also become “old news” to the point where one the guiltiest perps is the presumptive nominee of the RAT party.

Of course, the delay may only work when the delay is desired by both parties. The GOPe wasn’t heartbroken when the IRS helped stop the Tea Party movement, nor is it interested in dwelling on the involvement GOP members of congress had in approving some of the goings on in Libya.

In fact, this could be an eye opening tell. If Cruz isn’t hammered by the media and at least one of the two political parties over this alleged scandal, then it’s highly unlikely that he’s a real outsider.

So in your world, Cruz saying ‘we’ll have a conversation’ is good enough? He comes out AFTER Trump caught fire on THIS issue.

Are you suggesting that Cruz doesn’t have things to hide? Really???

Maybe I’m too far behind with the asinine tax return issue, and quite frankly, it matters not to me. If you hang your hat on that, that’s your choice.

As for poll numbers, pfffttt, things change in a day and you, the wisest one here, knows that to be true. Again, focus!!

Cruz = amnesty

Sorry, won’t wash. When you enter the presidential fray, candidates release their tax returns. Let’s see what your Dear Leader has contributed to Planned Parenthood; LGBT; and the Clinton Foundation, we call a criminal enterprise.

Sure nick, suuuuure.

Cruz has ALL the power behind him now, $$$$$, and amnesty lovers! How does that work???

I’m sure that millions are just too dense to understand Trump’s plan, right? You guys can’t even debate ONE issue without resorting to nonsense.

You duck the question. We need to know if Trump is a hypocrite on deportation. Why not ask the NY Times to release the closed-door tapes?

“waterboy”? Like the Zika virus, it appears Trumpism has infected you. These are the same sources your “Dear Leader” would use when he was in the lead. Sorry to offend your delicate sensibilities. I have some choice terms for you as well, but won’t take the bait and descend into Trumpisms.

Dude. You're on 24/7. Are you tweaking?

Where are Cruz’s schedules to his taxes? Pretty rich he’s asking for Trump’s taxes while hiding the key parts of his own taxes. But that’s Lyin Ted for you. Nothing principled or conservative about him.

Just make sense. No other requirement is required.

Sometimes children swam to the bottom of a 20ft depth pool and touched it. They came up for air.

Common Sense is much the same way.

Like I said, Trump will do it on his schedule, of at all.

And just because such an invasive practice has become a Washington tradition doesn't make it right.

So I hope that he never releases them, because it's nobody's business, not even the voters.

If an individual has done something "wrong" with their taxes, that's up to the IRS to decide, I guess.

It's interesting how all of your postings seem to agree 100% with Establishment Trump-haters...

Haven’t been to Well or to Montezuma’s Castle tho’ I must’ve passed the highway sign for it a gazillion times while driving to Cottonwood or Sedona...

Must, Must, Must, Must see.

Montezuma Castle

Follow the trails to the outflow and stream. The remains of the irrigation system is still there. I wondered down with a friend out of curiosity. A ranger approached and said he was ready with a canned lecture, because no one would stay around and explore. It was one of the most interesting history lectures I have ever had.
