You have some nerve calling me a "koolaid junkie," TRT. You have spent months defending Trump's behavior, repeating his lies as facts, and yet claiming that your first choice is Cruz. You have a strange way of supporting a candidate.

McWilliams is not part of Cruz's campaign. Trump falsely lumped her in with Cruz's campaign because she is a Texas lobbyist who supports Cruz. The Cruz campaign immediately distanced themselves from McWilliams' comments.

This is just the latest example of you trumpeting a Trump lie as the truth. Trump has an army of people on Twitter making nasty attacks on Cruz and his family, and some of those people are fairly well known. Most are not part of Trump's campaign staff. Is Trump responsible for what millions of his supporters say about Cruz on Twitter? If the media asks one of those Cruz critics to comment, should Cruz demand that Trump respond personally to the comments? (Those are rhetorical questions. The answer is obviously, "Of course not.")

Trump is blaming Cruz for Trump's attack on Heidi Cruz by claiming that Cruz is responsible for somebody else creating an ad featuring his wife. Trump takes responsibility for nothing and no matter how outrageous his behavior is, Trump makes no apologies and, by his own admission does not ask forgiveness from God for his bad behavior.

Trump has made the same types of attacks against every candidate who has challenged him in the polls, yet you ignore his history of personal smears, both as a presidential candidate and for decades as a businessman. Yet, you assume that Trump's statements and allegations about Cruz are true without question and post them as facts. (Yet, I am the Kool-Aid drinker.)

Donald Trump was a man of low character before he became a presidential candidate and he is running his campaign like he has run his businesses and conducted his personal life for many years. When you ignore a man's past behavior but believe his campaign promises without question, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

Trump engages in continuous character assassination. I find his behavior reprehensible but if you are comfortable turning over the IRS, Homeland Security, DOJ, FBI and all other federal agencies to a man with a history of engaging in petty personal vendettas - a man who has boasted about owning politicians because of political donations, then that will be on you and your fellow Trump followers.

Ted Cruz has never asked his supporters to raise their right hands and swear allegiance to him. Donald Trump has - and more than once. Have you been sworn in yet, TRT? If not, then it is not too late for you to regain your objectivity and disembark the Trump Train. :biggrin:

Look, in my view you lack the discernment or the will to interpret things as they are. And I still don't understand your huffing and puffing, the reason? You can't separate a lie from a suspicion from where I stand. Of course Cruz is going to disavow McWilliams. And again I would assert and ask, what's your flavor, lime, orange, sour grape? It's a ploy and one that many campaigns have used of late to disparage the character of their political foes. If Cruz was the pillar of righteousness of your vision, he would be playing all this differently. And so would the Texas political machine that trotted McWilliams out to besmirch the name of Melania Trump in the first place. I saw it happen in real time and I'm telling you, Neil Cavuto puts these people on to diminish Trump in the eyes of his considerable audience. My 'strange way' of supporting a candidate would not permit me to enable him when he's playing dirty. In short he can deny it, but he still got a bunch of votes in Iowa intended for Carson and Melania is still slimed.

What I have spent months defending was the primary process, the rule of law, and Trump's right to run a campaign the way he sees it. And what I see here is a guy who I thought to be a friend bound by love of country, grow ever more agitated, belligerent and personally aggressive about a political process which involves a rough potential of about 55 million Republican and another 42 million Independent voters. And I think your blazing condemnations of Trump are all built on a foundation of some kind of over the top emotionalism. In a nutshell, I don't agree with you on much of it at all.

I would further venture that most people will recognize McWilliams for the political plant she is. In any event, the chronology and the ensuing spitting match, cannot be denied and whose origins are certainly not attributable to the Trump campaign now are they? I know who I think is guilty and that's what I'm going with. Then when November comes around, my house will vote for Cruz or Trump. We will certainly not join the growing 3rd party or an off the wall 'protest vote' that will assure Hillary a virtual bye into the White House.
