This is incredibly dishonest.
The only "selective editing" going on is by those who try to reduce this to Trump saying "It's ridiculous". Because when you read the entire quote -- which has been posted -- the "ridiculous" comment by Trump is him complaining that nobody is "investigating" this issue. He very clearly links Cruz' father to the whole thing.
The actual video of Trump saying these things -- the words coming from his own mouth -- has also been posted. Did you even bother to research this on your own before claiming it was nothing but a big fat lie?
This kind of reflexive denial about anything relating to your preferred candidate validates everything some people have been saying about Trump supporters being blind/irrational. Obviously, not all of you are, but you're playing right into the stereotype that no doubt offends you.
Why can't you just say "this was a stupid thing for him to say, and I wish he wouldn't say stuff like that?" Would that really be so hard? Do you realize that your refusal to acknowledge that stuff make you look closed-minded, and governed by emotions rather than reason?
You haven't been here very long, so I'll excuse that you probably haven't seen, but there have been plenty of times I've disagreed with Donald Trump, there have been times when I have winced when I've heard him say something. He is far from perfect - but I think he is the right man for this time. I think we need a bull-dozer.
As far as me acknowledging that - I do. I haven't seen your posts, so I don't know if you readily acknowledge when Trump says something that you agree with? If you do, thank you. It's something that I rarely - if ever - see.
