1: He sure seems to be, considering that he’d accepted what his father says about him. And Beck.
2: *Shrug* A photo’s a photo. I have no idea how true it is. Guy in it bears a resemblance, but okay, I’ll give you that one.
3: Depends on how you define ‘stealing.’ Personally I call ignoring the will of the voters in order to win ‘stealing.’ But this is ground that we’ve gone over before and I doubt that we’ll EVER agree on.
4: Do you want us to put ‘alleged’ every time we discuss Amanda Carpenter or something? The NE made one claim. We’re discussing that claim; neither of us know of it’s truth or untruth, so we can’t exactly lie about that, can we?
5: See #4.
Not exactly a knockout punch IMHO.
I have no problem with everyone discussing the issues and the possibilities. The problem I do have is that many people, again this is true for Trump and Cruz supporters, repeat things as if they are true. And then repeat them so much that they begin to actually believe they are true instead of believing what they actually are; at best rumors, in some cases half truths, at worst outright lies. Really they are all just lies.
For example, number 3 above, let’s just go ahead and say we agree that ignoring the will of the voters in order to win is stealing. There still is no proof that is happening.
In every example I listed there is no proof they are true, but you know that Trump supporters repeat them as if they are absolutely true. Just as I know there are Cruz supporters who say Trump said he wants to raise the minimum wage and absolutely believe they are telling the truth.
Are there not enough actual ‘wrong’ things with either Trump or Cruz that we can’t talk about them without bringing in the rumors and lies?
I think if you were not so invested in defending Trump and your fellow supporters, you would agree that some here do tell “lies” about Cruz. Of course it happens, just like some Cruz supporters tell lies about Trump. Why pretend like it doesn’t happen?
