Okay great, and thank you for answering. Just as in the case of John Kasich's treachery today, Trump's critics have taken liberties and stretched some points in order to make the case that he is going to torture people. I was in the Armed Services and though I'm no expert, I have a reasonable grasp of the UCMJ.

Trump is no polished politician, and he speaks off the cuff. A trait that I am quite comfortable with, especially in view of the guile filled verbosity of the past 7 plus years. I've just had it with the lying.

The families of terrorists would as soon cut your head off as would the Daddies. I understand what Trump meant when he spoke of extended family units that worked together to hide the terror activities of their criminal kinsmen. They are just as guilty and that argument is supported by San Bernardino. While terroristic monsters use the benefits of our law's protection as an umbrella under which to operate in a safe environment, we have become slave to the letter of the law. They can do any heinous crime imaginable, but we are very limited in how we can respond, under the law. I'm one of those who would like to think that the law should work to benefit the law abiding, not the criminals among us. Trump's statement reflected that frustration and I saw through it immediately.

Where you see dishonesty in Trump, I see honesty. I know when I'm being lied to and I know when Cruz has stretched the truth to suit his political fortunes. For example, Trump certainly did not intentionally and purposefully fund the gang of eight. Five politicians who wound up being part of the gang of eight had received donations from him in the past. That is a significant distinction in my book, but Cruz says it anyway. And BTW, Trump doesn't go around bribing politicians with money, they come to him asking for money. Again, big difference. Poisoning the well one shares with his neighbor because he is mad at him, is what this election cycle looks like to me.

You're right. If you see honesty in Trump, you are seeing something that is totally invisible to me. I see a man who is equally dishonest as his close personal friends, Bill and Hillary Clinton. Like you, I am fed up with the lies. The last thing this country needs is another untrustworthy president. We also do not need another president who shoots his mouth off about issues and events of which he knows nothing about, only to have his spokesman explain what he meant to say. Trump is making Joe Biden seem presidential, which is a difficult feat.

2016 may be the first time in history when the candidates of both major political parties are compelled to testify under oath in a courtroom while campaigning for president - one to defend himself against allegations of fraud and the other to defend herself against charges of violating the Espionage Act.

I am pretty sure that if Ted Cruz wins the nomination, he will not be dragged into a courtroom to defend himself against civil or criminal charges. Call me stupid, but the fact that there are at least three class action lawsuits against Trump companies alleging fraud may be a political problem for Trump, despite the fact that he will be running against a likely felon.
