You are absolutely right. This campaign is in large part about character and that is an area where Trump is a total failure. Candidates of good moral character do not ridicule other people's religious beliefs and they do not threaten other candidate's spouses. Trump has done both in just the past couple of days. When Trump sees a fork in the road, he always takes the low road, without hesitation.

Equating Obama with Cruz because both have law degrees, while you place a dumbass like Donald Trump on a pedestal is bordering on lunacy. If Trump is elected president, you will see that Trump has far more in common with Obama than Cruz has. However, I do not expect many supporters of Hillary or Bernie voting for an idiot who openly advocates torturing prisoners and killing their families.

You just called everybody who supports Trump cult members not long ago, I guess you just don't like the irony. Trump won and those who voted for him are getting screwed because Kasich and Cruz can't find the grace to cede the primary. I wouldn't normally say that, but Cruz's chances are less than thin. The will of the voter is down the list somewhere, with the aspirations of certain candidates being the priority consideration. Not to mention the fact that just about everybody seems just fine with rules violations of every possible sort, and a forced contested convention. If Cruz was in the lead with the clear shot at the required delegate requirement you'd be screaming your head off about Trump and Cruz being usurpers. Would you not?

But you missed way wide of the mark on your second paragraph. I will try this one last time to lay out my case. First, I like Cruz and feel we could do worse. Second, this was a Republic the last time I checked. Therefore all who would disenfranchise the millions who have voted for Trump are in my book a bunch of anarchists. The way people talk in negative terms about Trump is a disgrace. They're trying to manipulate the political system using propaganda, and if all I knew was that the Demoncrats and the Republicans along with the media had joined together in an unholy scheme to go around the will of the people, it would be enough.

I wasn't equating Cruz with Obama. I was pointing out that for the most part, Obama fits the qualifications of the kind of candidate you seem to be presently demanding, and look how that turned out. First you came out with the revelation that Trump was running a spoiler campaign for Hillary. Now you're saying because I refuse to get on board the train to destroy what's left of the political process I'm bordering on lunacy. In my view, you just have no way to justify speaking in such disparaging terms with regard to Trump. But, even if you're right, when we circumvent the process what's left?

If there is a rat in the woodpile this time around, my bet would be that it looks an awful lot like Paul Ryan. And from what I have heard, he wants the job himself, or wants to parachute in somebody else.
