The fire company nearest the WTC is number 711.

What a pathetic attempt - how does Cruz benefit from having so many pathetic folks taking such pathetic flailing stabs in order to boost him?

Anyone who brings up the 7/11 reference is PATHETIC. It was a mistake. An easily understandable misspeak. Faux pas, if you will. A slip of the tongue.

Everyone knew what he meant to say. While I understand the humor in it, remember we are talking about the deadliest attack on U.S. soil. THOUSANDS were killed. It wasn’t funny.

The proper thing to have done would have been to ignore it. I understand the season, and it was maybe worth “a mention”, but to try and beat Donald Trump to death with it, is disgusting and insensitive to the families of 9/11, New York City, for that matter all New Yorkers.

Rehashing this “nothing” of a faux pas is now nothing more than rank partisanship and should STOP. RIGHT NOW.

It isn’t funny anymore.

“I watched our police and our firemen down at 7/11, down at the World Trade Center right after it came down.”

He said what he meant- Engine 7/Ladder 1/Battalion 1 made famous in the documentary and was down at the World Trade Center when it came down. New Yorkers new what he meant.

[Arthur McGowan]

He wasn’t confused at all. He was talking about “going down to 711.” I.e., he was referring precisely to the fire house he recently visited.

[COBOL2Java]

And it does not even matter that, on the eve of the New York presidential primary, he messed up his praise of the hero cops and firefighters of 9/11 by referring to the event as 7-Eleven.

Well, stopped reading right there. Waste of time.

[Anyone who brings up the 7/11 reference is PATHETIC.] Rats do what rats do.

Trump, his ardent followers believe, is going to
build a wall,
make Mexico pay for it,
deport illegal immigrants,
tear up the Iran deal,
tilt toward Israel,
bring jobs back from China,
destroy ISIS,
punish terrorists,
reorganize NATO,
force allies to pay for U.S. protection
and make America great again.

Pretty good summary! Does the writer think this is somehow an indictment? If he only does half, we'll be way, way ahead of
1) where we are now and
2) where we would be if we elect any of the other candidates, GOP or Dem.

The Cruzbots really ARE the Mean Nasty far-right folks who want to throw grandma over the cliff and starve senior citizens.

Problem is: Cruz doesn’t benefit but Cruz is just like them. It’s all about power.
