And if Trump was doing this the Cruz people would go ballistic about how underhanded and evil Trump is
Cruz people love to portray their man is so squeaky clean and yet he’s one of the more sleazy politicians I’ve ever seen
Mr. Follow the Constitution to the letter and spirit?....well maybe he manipulates the Constitution the same way he they manipulating convention rules
actually he does manipulate the Constitution like you manipulate and Convention rules... after all he claims he’s a natural-born citizen
Okay, I need some Trump supporters to help me understand this:
1) How can Trump supporters be so worked up over a supposed "Cruz adultery scandal" if Trump is not only provably guilty of that very thing, but BRAGGED about it in a BOOK? That says to me that "adultery" isn't the real reason for the agitation against Cruz.
2) How can Trump supporters be so worked up over a supposed "Cruz underhanded finagling of delegates" when Trump spends the vast majority of his time not only pulling underhanded deals... er... I mean, "shrewdly working the system to his advantage" (think of multiple bankruptcies and his stated reasons for seeking them, attempts to use eminent domain to take over private property and his stated reasons for doing so, etc.)? That says to me that "working the system" isn't the real reason for being worked up against Cruz.
So... Trump supporters are worked up over things which their beloved candidate has not only done, but done brazenly. Does the brazen way he did them somehow give him a "free pass"?
I've heard some people try to argue, "It's different, because at least Trump isn't a hypocrite about it!" Mm-hmm. I see. That reminds me of the various arguments I've had with atheists who can trumpet their own crimes and sexual deviances with abandon, but who howl with glee and/or indignation whenever they think they've caught a Christian doing the same... since, apparently, hypocrisy is the only "sin" for a liberal. (Ironic, since they're guilty of that, too... but apparently, if you don't admit it, then you're not guilty of it.) Yeah. That didn't strike me as being very logical (or honest) THEN, either. Just so, with that dumb argument trying to defend Trump.
Go ahead and support Trump, if you like. But can we at least cut out the posturing and the disingenuous attacks on Cruz for things that "the Donald" has done, and worse? The irony is thick enough to make my teeth hurt.
“And if Trump was doing this the Cruz people would go ballistic about how underhanded and evil Trump is”
Not true for me at all. In fact, I EXPECT Trump to be making deals for delegates for every ballot after the First. There will be plenty of wheeling and dealing by both Trump and Cruz. That is what is SUPPOSED to happen.
