Mean??  Ya they should just put you ignore.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Why be nice in this time? It's about channeling rage.

Yes.  We want a president who fosters and channels rage instead of calm.

"I said this was going to happen" The Donald

If only Trump had left this out of his statement-but he can't help himself. **nononono*

Ultimately Donny Boy's statement was all about him. He is no less the malignant narcissist that Obie is.

"Last night, our nation was attacked by a radical Islamic terrorist. It was the worst terrorist attack on our soil since 9/11, and the second of its kind in 6 months. My deepest sympathy and support goes out to the victims, the wounded, and their families.

In his remarks today, President Obama disgracefully refused to even say the words 'Radical Islam'. For that reason alone, he should step down. If Hillary Clinton, after this attack, still cannot say the two words 'Radical Islam' she should get out of this race for the Presidency.

If we do not get tough and smart real fast, we are not going to have a country anymore. Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen – and it is only going to get worse. I am trying to save lives and prevent the next terrorist attack. We can't afford to be politically correct anymore.

The terrorist, Omar Mir Saddique Mateen, is the son of an immigrant from Afghanistan who openly published his support for the Afghanistani Taliban and even tried to run for President of Afghanistan. According to Pew, 99% of people in Afghanistan support oppressive Sharia Law.

We admit more than 100,000 lifetime migrants from the Middle East each year. Since 9/11, hundreds of migrants and their children have been implicated in terrorism in the United States.

Hillary Clinton wants to dramatically increase admissions from the Middle East, bringing in many hundreds of thousands during a first term – and we will have no way to screen them, pay for them, or prevent the second generation from radicalizing.

We need to protect all Americans, of all backgrounds and all beliefs, from Radical Islamic Terrorism - which has no place in an open and tolerant society. Radical Islam advocates hate for women, gays, Jews, Christians and all Americans. I am going to be a President for all Americans, and I am going to protect and defend all Americans. We are going to make America safe again and great again for everyone."

Word count:
President Obama - 1
Hillary Clinton - 2

Yes, there is a stark contrast between the statement Trump made and the statement Cruz made.  Ironically he used Cruz's talking points.  Unfortunately for Trump he didn't even come close to sounding like a leader; he sounded narcissistic and combative. In general I agree with what Trump said; it's the whole notion that I don't trust or believe a word he says that I just can't get past.

Here was his chance to come out from under his senate desk and forcibly ENDORSE TRUMP. He still refuses. What a sniveling COWARD.

Cruz is such a class act! When these horrific situations take place [and it's been said they will increase by way of frequence and intensity, since we have not made any great strides for repairing our nation's sins!], it's important for us as a body of people to defuse the sudden chaos [in our minds, hearts, and spirits] by way of hearing a calm, firm, caring response. Way to go, Ted!



America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign. -Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

No, I'm not tired of the proper statements.  The office does require at least a minimum of decorum.  I'm tired of the liberal [bold]actions[/bold] that the current administration and to a large extent the republican party keep telling us are the only actions available.

Cruz's "Imagine" speech will forever be etched in my mind.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
