Boo-hoo-hoo!  Po’ widdle Twumpikins!  He’s such a saint.

There's not a lot of sympathy for Donald Trump personally (he's the politician), but quite a bit for the innocent people people being slimed in order to get at Trump.

And lo and behold.... Cruz got over it and ended up supporting Trump, putting the good of the nation over his own hurt feelings.   Too bad everyone can't accomplish the same.   :whistle:

Naw. He had no choice. I do. The character that would do such a thing to an opponent is capable of any betrayal. That is something one should not 'get over'. That should never be rewarded. End of story.

Actually, I would have far more respect for Cruz had he not, and stood firm. That certainly did him damage with me, and since, has shaken his once immaculate Conservative record. That he can be swayed is not a good thing.

Sooo.... I take it that you deny what the radical left and their puppets in the lamestream media have put Trump, his family and anyone associated with him through?   Really?

It appears he's not denying it, just approving of it.

And by the way.... I'm calling you out on the fact that you just missed the opportunity to say "What?  Then are you saying that Trump is a little (or more than a little) nuts?".

AHhahahaha!!!!    :tongue2:

LOL!
The problem is, I don't think he's nuts. I think he's devious. And not in a good way.

If he was devious, he wouldn't constantly be in trouble for what he blurts/tweets out.   :shrug:

You, of course, are right, @roamer_1 ......and I shouldn't have been so quick to say we weren't asking for moral rectitude.  It is now used as a slur as if somehow being a "moral saint" is a bad thing, and by defending it, one is asking too much of a candidate.

This is one thing that has surprised me a bit among Conservatives and Christians (who should be the last people on earth making morality a slur), that in order to defend (or excuse) their support for someone who is so debauched, they must make fun of a characteristic that they used to say was important.

I expect that kind of thing from the godless left, but have been taken aback at the accusations and excuses made among Conservatives.

@musiclady

Yep. I have seen that too...for the gnat, they swallow the camel. This cannot turn out well. But no one is listening. The bit is in their teeth.

I used to wonder how such a thing could happen. I need not wonder any longer.

You are absolutely right.

This cannot, and will not turn out well.

No, he always points at someone else. There is always someone to shoulder the blame. It's what he does the most. Then it doesn't matter if he fails miserably, because he has laid the groundwork to make it someone else's fault. And he smells like a rose to his fans, win or lose.

Of course, I smell something else.  :laugh:

Yeah... but.... to posit that his stupid tweets and inappropriate comments are intentional is something that even my vivid imagination just can't conceive of.

Last time I delved into GOP politics, I left disgusted because of all the McCainiacs I had to deal with.  My District Chair hated me and pushed us out of everywhere he could.  What jerks!  I'm delving again, this time in a much redder county that never liked McStain.  Mrs. Liberty and I got ourselves appointed Precinct Committeemen already.  Tomorrow we're attending the Mohave County Republican Picnic up in the mountains.  Going to enjoy some cooler weather, starting today.

I hope I win a door prize.  They're giving away guns.

Precinct Committeemen - good for you!   :patriot:

The more idiocy he blurts out, the more his opponents lash out, the more his base rises to defend.

Sorry, I should have said he is a Holy Saint!  He is a miracle worker, a god, worthy of fawning reverence.

Give me a break.  Half of what he’s had to put up with was his own damn fault to begin with.

Yes, he's made some really inappropriate comments and tweets, but it was also made known by people within the GOP (Mitch included) and DEMS that they would do everything to see to it that he was a one term president, long before he even took the oath of office.

Ah.... so CL was correct.  You DO approve of the harassment and BS the left has put him through.

That's right too, but by design. He points at them and says "They started it!"... and that actually is not true. He started it in his merciless destruction of Jeb.

No, I don’t.  How You do love to put words into other people’s mouths.  Mostly, I think, to try and obfuscate the fact that you have precious little to say on your own that’s worth saying.

Some of you remind me of my kids when they were little.  "We  can have meatloaf or spaghetti for supper."
"No, I want tuna casserole,"
"But, we don't have tuna."
"Waaaa... I want tuna!"
"But, we don't have any tuna!"
"That's what I want and if we don't have it I'm not going to eat!"
