“Beck and only Beck is responsible for what he says”.
Bulls***, teddy could have disavowed Beck, but didn’t do a damn thing.
What have you done about Trump and his insults? Nothing. You even approve. Your whining is selective.
Just an observation. Trump ran with and donated to some pretty notable Democrats, including her hindness herself. I don't see him spending his time disavowing every goon he has rubbed elbows with. Why the Yuuuge preoccupation with Cruz not throwing everyone under the bus? Even in cases where he said he had nothing to do with things, that wasn't sufficient, even though in plain English he said he had nothing to do with it (a disavowal).
I have asked this before, but never have received an adequate response. What level of theatrics is necessary before you consider the actions/behaviour/person of someone or thing adequately "disavowed"?
Apparently, a calm dismissal is not sufficient. Would screaming and pounding a podium somewhere be sufficient? Does the candidate have to use gutter language, too? Does it require a cartwheeling sh*tfit on national television?
Or are we adults here who can understand English and deal with the concept that simply saying "I didn't do it" is enough?
Is deplorement necessary also, not just disavowing something?
Last, if someone you have known for a long time goes off the rails or hits a rough streak, do you distance yourself from them? abandon them? Publicly decry them? Ridicule them?
If so, you aren't much of a friend.
