Bernie is an open socialist. We know from his campaign speeches that he wants to destroy capitalism, and he’s got Barack the First out there explaining to the young and foolish that there’s not much difference between capitalism and communism.
Hillary is an open felon. Among other things, she is guilty of crimes that anyone who has ever handled classified material knows would have put a non-Clinton behind bars for decades. It’s worse that what put Jonathan Pollard in prison for nearly 30 years, and far worse than the ones leading to Petraeus guilty on a mere misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified materials (two years probation and a $100,000 fine).
And we’re in a feeding frenzy over allegations with no evidence? It’s sad that a PAC (legally prohibited from coordinating with Cruz) released that sleazy ad attacking Trump’s wife. It’s at least equally sad that Trump went way overboard in response to a third-party ad criticizing his wife and criticized Cruz’s wife. The horse manure over how quickly Cruz condemned that ad (not quickly enough) is nonsense, and we all know it. First, for Cruz to respond instantly could look like coordination with the PAC, which is a crime. Second, to respond to everything his various supporters ever say would take him off message. Trump supporters wouldn’t want Trump going off message, and it’s foolish for us to pretend Cruz should do it.
If Cruz really is guilty in multiple affairs, that is a major issue. However, there are far more important issues that we actually know are true. If the establishment stops both Trump and Cruz, we will get someone who supports Amnesty, and America will be destroyed as a free country. If they stop both Cruz and Trump, we will get someone who supports Obamacare, and medical progress will continue slowing down while costs will continue to soar. If they stop Trump and Cruz, we will get someone like Kasich whose comment on bakers being fined $135,000 for refusing to participate in a gay parody of a wedding was “bake the cupcake”, and religious freedom will die.
It’s embarrassing that conservatives are divided and trying to destroy the only two acceptable candidates [acceptable defined by their records, by reading what Trump has said and written, what Cruz has said, how he voted, and what he has written, including his oral arguments in front of the Supreme Court] in a political race this important. The stakes this year are astronomical, and we are in a circular firing squad over tabloid accusations that have no evidence and over third-party actions? It’s pathetic. The “LyingTed” meme does not match reality, no matter how much it appeals to those who like the squabbles among 12-year-old girls. The criticisms of Trump over his wife’s photos from 20 years ago are completely irrelevant to how he would perform as president.
We lost six hundred thousand Americans in the first Civil War. I am far more worried about the risk of a second civil war if conservatives mess up in this election (or worse - a capitulation to tyranny without defending freedom) than I am about the manners shown by either Cruz or Trump, or about allegations with no evidence.
He mentioned it quickly but did not condemn it for several days.
He should have disavowed it when he first spoke about it.
But all he said is "it wasn't us" so it seems he approved but didn't want the blame
