I just saw on MSNBC that Cruz wouldn't condemn Trump's "schlonged" remark.
No, this isn't breaking news. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that Trump can do that Cruz will criticize. He "KNOWS" that at some point, Trump will fall and he (Cruz) will inherit the vote of the crazies.
And this makes Cruz just as bad as Trump. He's aiding and abetting one of the most horrible candidates (and one of the most horrible human beings) this country has produced in a long time.
If you think Trump is a threat to our country, be very afraid of Cruz. He's far more likely to end up with the Republican nomination.

(3,051 posts)This is just typical NYC talk. It's harsh, but this kind of language is pretty much par for the course in business, by men or women.
Among lawyers, cops, etc., this is downright tame.
While the original meaning was probably obscene, it's use today has nothing to do with sexism or the underlying meaning of the word.

I worry about Cruz as VP.

(3,051 posts)He's far too smart and clever. And dangerous. He just uses them.
He's pretty much a true-believer capital C Jacksonian Conservative with a bit of populist --Laissez-faire economics, small/powerless government, borderline libertarian, pro-gun, limit immigration, etc.
It's a utopia for those who are able to to compete. And Hell for those who will be crushed underfoot.

(15,063 posts)Americans realize how truly dangerous Cruz is. He's a fundie and he doesn't give a rat's ass about what anyone else thinks. Imagine him with access to our nuclear arsenal. That would make it hard to sleep at night.

(40 posts)...the other comes after to lower even further the degenerate hammer of
of their pervo fascist theocracy -- the very sickness that grips their
twisted, shrunken souls which stand in opposition to everything good about America.

(90,837 posts)Trump will make deals based on whatever it is going on in his brain at the time; Cruz is hard, hard right.
I keep sayin' this, and it's good to have at least one tv talking head say it out loud.
