Chris Hayes has established a new standard. It is henceforth fair game to say on national TV of any parent who has spanked his child that such parent "hits his kids." Hayes employed the inflammatory formulation on his MSNBC show this evening. Hayes played a clip of a child in a Cruz audience telling him "you suck" and Cruz responding "in my household, when a child behaves that way, they get a spanking." Proclaimed Hayes portentously: "I should note it's a matter of public record by Ted Cruz that he hits his kids."
Okay then, so Hayes has equated a spank, which can be more symbolic than real, with a "hit." Would Hayes encourage the next reporter who interviews Hillary to ask if she ever spanked her daughter, or was ever spanked herself, and in any case how she views the issue? What about Barack and Michelle Obama? This is absurd--and despicable.

The best behaved kids at my church, and the family sits behind my wife and me so we know, have parents who are both USMC. No coincidence and Semper Fi.
Comments like that make me so proud of Trump supporters.
Too bad his parents didn’t spank Chris Hayes.
Should I tell Don he sucks?
Cruz just told his supporters to hit a minor that was peacefully protesting his rally.

A flaming lib with which I work said the same thing.
My children were spanked when enough was enough as were my grandsons. My oldest grandson, who had a real bad habit of talking back, also had numerous mouth washings with soap before he finally decided to button his lip. Everybody turned out just fine.
It is. Maddow’s twin brother.
It’s not one incident
But
At this point
What difference does it make
Hopefully soon those kids can stop getting hauled in front of cameras as props to try to burnish their fathers image as a likeable guy
And life will go on
Teddy: “Harder Carly...HARDER!!!! Is that all you got? Right cheek....(WHACK!) Left cheek now Carly (WHACK!) Oh yeah, you got it baby! I want my 500K worth right now”! Snarly: “Oh settle down you little loser. I’m not one of your other chippie broads that you can order around!”
Cruz probably spanks his kids for telling the truth. I guess truth hurts in the Cruz dysfunctional household.
Heidi probably knows that too.
The girls are raised by nannies (per Heidi) and they seldom see Ted (per Heidi. Ted has always lived in another CITY from his wife and daughters.) Not sure when there's time for Ted to spank.
They don’t know who he is. One of them even referred to him as a “guest” when he stays at home.
I don’t think he would believe you.
“Fact is, and this is something every actual parent has known since the human race dropped out of the trees, children need hard borders. Strict limits. Moral guidelines with painful consequences. Anyone who’s critical can kiss my a$$”
The problem is, the country has gone to hell so bad that those “critical” people can take your kids away and make your life hell, permanently.
What makes you think he is not still getting spankings today? Probably pays top dollar, since his wife is not into that.
You are screwed if you leave a mark. Otherwise you are probably ok. No need to leave marks in my opinion.
Perhaps he is. But it’s not helping him to straighten out, I’m afraid.
