Musiclady, did you see this?

Good for a laugh or two.

OK.  I feel dirty..........
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

His former chief of staff runs the PAC.  They talk daily. 

Goggle really is your friend.

You are thinking of the Trusted Leadership PAC which has nothing to do with this issue. (that's the one run by Chip Roy who used to work for Cruz).

The ad with Trump's wife was put out by the Make America Awesome PAC which is run by Liz Mair who also opposes Cruz. She was a Rubio supporter.

And Trump's guy runs the MAG PAC. To be equal and fair, can I accuse Trump of illegally coordinating with him, especially due to those payments from Trump to the guys business?

And to re-ask the question, do you have proof that Cruz and his former chief of staff are talking daily and are coordinating?

The problem, if I recall correctly, is that the PAC ad included a nude photo of Trump's wife,  asked the reader if this the sort of First Lady you want, and then said, if not, vote for Ted Cruz.    Whether there was coordination or not, the ad explicitly advocated voting for Cruz on the basis of a nude photo.

As such,  Cruz needs to make sure all know that he denounces it, because the ad really was disgraceful and beyond the pale.

That same PAC has run ads saying vote for Kasich and Rubio- whomever is running against Trump competitively in the State they target. Liz Mair who runs the PAC actually opposes Cruz.
He did denounce the ad too, everyone is just ignoring his comment on it.

I know. Trouble is, Clinton and Sanders are even more disgusting.  This is such a sad, depressing election season when it could have, should have, been triumphal for the GOP.

To be honest, I don't see either of those two stooping this low.  This is in a class by itself.

Rubio supporters sure are sore losers.

Funny how the Crybully culture has been taken over by the "Principled Conservatives

Crybully:

Someone who uses the perceived righteousness of a poltical cause as a pretext to abuse others, and then plays the victim when confronted about that abuse.

ONe thing that is sad is that back in December Cruz couldn't kiss Donald's ass hard enough:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2015/06/30/ted-cruz-donald-trump-is-terrific-shouldnt-apologize-for-comments/

Quote
“When it comes to Donald Trump, I like Donald Trump. I think he’s terrific. I think he’s brash. I think he speaks the truth,”

Quote
“They’re not mostly that. But Donald Trump has a way of speaking that gets attention. And I credit him for focusing on an issue that needs to be focused on,”

Quote
“His experience as a successful businessman and job creator will prove crucial to ensuring the eventual GOP nominee is not only well-equipped to defeat Hillary Clinton in November, but also to make America great again.”

Makes you wonder about Ted Cruz too...

Needless to say, the Trumpoids are claiming that their hero is merely fighting back.

No, he doesn't. He doesn't need to get drawn into distractions like this.

Good idea. Maybe a new hash tag to replace #TrumperTantrum, #SenileTrumpburst

He didn't even try the CFR attack that those who support him here have been using. He went to the superficial, shallow level of looks.

Of course, as I said before: at least Ted is loyal to his ONE wife. When Melania's looks fade, when will The Donald move onto #4?


By then Trump might be poor.

This is just me - it won't amount to a pinch of Easter Bunny droppings - but I just like to discuss the candidates and what they say or do.  They are fair game either way.  I still have a right to judge THEM, for ill or for good.  Frankly, outside of that, I no longer care who supports who or who dislikes who.  That said, I wish we didn't need to judge or insult the detractors or supporters.  That will always erode into a perpetual loop of mutual nonsense. 

Then, I move on.
