Except the point is that the Cruz's didn't start it. The original photo (which was, of course, just as inappropriate) had nothing to do with them.

This is who Trump is, though. He is a nasty, bullying piece of work. He doesn't try to win arguments through force of superior reasoning, but just through force, full stop. Woe betide anyone who dares to criticise him if he does become president.

"had nothing to do with them." - you know that do you? seems a little convenient don't you think?

[jim360]

Let's put it instead as there is no established link between the campaign group that posted the offending photo and the Cruz campaign. Every single source agrees on this, except Donald Trump.

The Republican campaign has got dirty, and Cruz has for sure had his part to play in that. But seriously, stop defending Trump; he is the wrong answer to the wrong problems, and no matter how right people are to be angry at the present state of affairs Trump is not the place to turn. He is just a bully.

You don't get to tell me who to support sunshine, when do I tell anyone who to support? You can criticise as I criticise the choices of you and others but I don't go barking orders regarding who can support who. This is politics, skullduggary occurs from all sides, if you seriously are naive enough to believe all that "nothing to do with us" pony then you are more gullible that you look. Cruz's camp started it they got slapped down, that's politics. Maybe they'll try something new.

Ironic that it's a run-off between Trump and Cruz. Did the "birther" question ever get resolved?

I think the Kenyan Born current president has pretty well made that irrelevant.

???

Nothing to do with Obama. Trump playing the birther card against Obama is a different game, one he lost (as Obama has been President for almost two full terms now).

Last I heard, Trump was claiming Cruz does not even qualify to run for president. I am surprised he has not brought that up again. Perhaps he's saving it until such time as he might need it, which would be far too late for anyone else to enter the race.

[jim360]

It's a request, not an order. Not delivered with a usual "please", I'll grant you. But your support for a man like Trump not because of what he stands for but because of how angry he makes people is not something I think anyone should just allow to go unchallenged.

[jim360]

Also, if you are gullible enough to believe that Obama was born in Kenya, etc etc.

Trump is divisive, dangerous, and based purely on anger. He doesn't deserve any support; that he has got so much is a sad reflection on the state of modern politics, to be sure, but it's nothing to celebrate.

[ToraToraTora]

"...., if you are gullible enough to believe that Obama was born in Kenya, etc etc. " - yes almost as gullible as believing Cruz had nothing to do with Mrs Trumps pictures finding their way out eh?

Great news


... for the Democratics.

Funny you are rooting for Corbyn because you know no one will vote for him, but you cannot see that Trump serves the same function in the US.
