Trump is a douche. Six months ago, I wouldn't have said that, but this latest attach on Cruz's wife is so below the belt as to reveal Trump as a total douche.
And to those Trump supporters . . . don't fool yourself. Trump's not "your guy." Trump's Trump's guy. You may like his line of attacks against people today, but give him the full power of the government and lookout when he turns on you.
Politics used to be like the Mafia, there were unwritten rules that everyone followed and wives and children were off limits. That was the most important rule of all the unwritten rules. The way I look at it this is where liberalism has led us. How many times have most of us here been called vile names or drug through the mud when trying to debate with a liberal? When they don't have a reasonable rebuttal for your point they resort to name calling every time. Civility in politics has devolved in the same way. When in doubt, sling mud, try to vilify family, do whatever it takes to get to get people to think the way you do. It's sickening but it up to us intelligent voters to see through all the stupidity, to use our intelligence to see through all the mud and look at the candidates themselves then try to make the right choice. Trump or Cruz, I'll take either one. When you look through all the smoke, lies, slander and mud slinging, either one would make a much better President than anyone else running. By far the best.
While these two shit heads keep attacking each other, it allows that slut from the democrat party to gain ground. I am sooooo F*cking pissed about this and sick of the crap from Trump. For the love of all attack Hildabeast not each other. Damn how dumb do you have to be to see what is happening. The last thing I want is that broom riding bitch as president, shes a drunk and missing more marbles that a kid with a hole in his marble bag. Makes me wanna move out of the country or live in a damn cave to get away from this shit.
OK, I'll say this. I have been behind Cruz since before any of them announced they were running. I didn't even consider Trump would run because he failed so miserably last time.
I have enjoyed the turmoil he has caused the GOPe, but counted on him imploding by now, and Cruz "Cruzing" to the nom. Now I am getting real annoyed by Trump, but I have to say that barring an independent run by Cruz, I will have to hold my nose once again and vote for him over whoever the Commies in the DNC put up. I just hope Trump will destroy the country more slowly than Hitlery or Bernout, and give us a chance to find a better choice for the next race.

OK, so here's the ad that Trump is pissed over. Thing is, it's a picture from a nude shoot she did for GQ in 2000.
Read the disclaimer at the bottom. Cruz had nothing to do with it.
Wouldn't bother me a bit if she was the next first lady. Look at what we've had for the last seven years.
Exactly. So once again we have Trump flying off the handle, sounding like a third grader, and generally making sure nobody is talking about actual issues. And what totally weirds me out is how often his insults are directed at women, or are about women, or sex, or calling some guy a "pussy." The guy has some kind of problem. Three different women that I know about, he's made an issue of their periods. WTF? Every other guy I know in the whole world, the LAST thing they want to mention EVER is a woman's period. Normal guys just want to pretend that shit doesn't exist.
Mark my words, when he gets around to talking about Mrs. Cruz's period, even the most rabid Trump supporters are going to come around to seeing him the way I do.
LOL "Normal guys just want to pretend that shit doesn’t exist."
I guess I ain't normal then. When I was married, I knew every month. There was a not so subtle hint the week before.
That whole thing was just to prepare you for the insanity of menopause!
It's like the week before, non stop, for 10 years!!
Amen poppa! I swear someone decided to name it menopause because mad cow disease was already taken.
If the media really wanted to show unflattering pictures of the candidate's wives, they need look no further then a pic of Slick Willy.
True- Hillary's wife is the ugliest of them all...
Either one is better than Michelle.
It is time glamour came back to the White House. Let's be real... Michelle is not a glamorous woman. She may clean up well from time to time, but she does not exude glamour. There are a lot of Black women that can, so it is not even about the fact that she is Black. She just doesn't have it.
Truth... Mrs. Bush wasn't really that glamorous either, so this is not even a hate on Democrat First Ladies. Let's go back still: Hillary ewwwwww seriously glamour and Hillary do not belong in the same sentence.
I've seen in the past and especially in the last couple of weeks, I've seen extensive photos and video of Mrs. Reagan... yes undoubtedly very 80's fashion BUT extreme in the glamour, she wore those clothes, those clothes did not wear her and the FABULOUS portrait that will hang in the White House of her wearing a red dress... it is just fabulous!
I have nothing against Ted Cruz's wife but she looks VERY very presentable and classy however she lacks glamour. She is more like Mrs. Bush. Who again... very very presentable always classy, but just not glamorous. I really would like the White House to have some serious glamour at least once in my lifetime. The glamour comes from the First Lady. Not endorsing Trump but we cannot deny that Melania Trump has glamour.
Jacqueline Kennedy is the only one, in my lifetime, that brought that kind of glamour to the White House. She was a classy lady.
Yes I know of her and I agree, but yeah my parents were children at the time lol
I just hope that I can have a First Lady that I can point out to future generations that has some glamour in addition to being presentable and classy and makes the White House a truly glamorous space again.
OK, first off, Mooch and Hitlery have made a habit of being photographed with some of the nastiest, scariest, scowls on their face, that I have ever seen outside of a horror movie.
Laura Bush and Heidi Cruz may not be glamourous, but they are very presentable, and classy.
Melania may have a hint of glamour to her, but she also has nude photo shoots that are publicly available, and that isn't exactly the presentation that we should be making.
She was a model, a rather reputable profession. She wasn't a porn person. She is a less successful mirror image of Carla Bruni's who a lot of you went ga ga over and many of us made fun of Michelle as she appeared next to her showing that Michelle was seriously lacking in glamour.
We really live in a new contemporary age, where we need to be a little more forgiving of people (throw the first stone type). Gone are the days of the virgin Princesses (like Diana Spencer) and virgin debutante from a good family (Jacqueline Bouvier)
As a side note: Carla Bruni's wikipedia page states that she may have dated Donald Trump. He definitely has a type.
I'd prefer a nude Melania to a fully dressed Michelle or Hillary any day of the week.
what about the MSM, every pic they showed of Mooch was unflattering
What would it take to make a flattering picture of the Mooch? Three feed sacks?
compare her to eleanor ruse a velt
Burqa.
Photoshopping a buffalo's face on her body.
Cruz's surrogate Beck started the war on wives. By not immediately stepping in Cruz owns it.
By that logic by Trump not IMMEDIATELY denying the KKK or by not IMMEDIATELY stating that the supporter that punched that guy was wrong (and NOT paying for his legal bills) and all the other stuff that he didn't IMMEDIATELY denied or decried he owns all of those things, yet his supporters claim that the people that did those things are at fault not him... so not sure why can't Cruz get the same pass Trump gets.
Here is Cruz's reply tweet:
"Donald, real men don't attack women. Your wife is lovely, and Heidi is the love of my life."
Now, which of the two men sounds presidential? And for that matter, which of them sounds like a MAN?
One of the superpacs that supports Cruz posted a nude pic of Melania, that is why Trump is pissed. But he's blaming Cruz, when this superpac is the one that used to support Rubio against Trump. It seems to me that this is one of the GOPe superpacs.
WERD!
What the heck are you talking about? Cruz's wife deserves to be attacked because Glenn Beck did something? Tell me you're not serious. Tell me you don't really want a man who engages in this kind of grade-school behavior ensconced in the White House.
I don't want Hillary, and Trump is the ONLY one who can stop her. He's also the ONLY one who's willing to say the msulime invasion has to be stopped.
I frankly don't care what he calls Cruz's wife, I don't give a fig about someone "looking Presidential" if it means loosing the country.
Geez, it's real early to decide who can or can't beat Hillary. I don't like Trump, but if he's the nominee you can be sure he'll get my vote. I would like it if he actually found some class before that, though.
Maybe you need to look at the polls. Trump can't beat Hitlery.
Here is a poll that tells you exactly what will happen if we end up with Trump versus Clinton:
As the link points out, the problem is Trump's enormous "very unfavorable" rating. So many people have written in stone that they will never vote for him, he gets clobbered in a one on one match. That's what would have happened in the Republican primaries, too, except idiots like Rubio, Kasich, et al, refused to let it get to a one on one match.
Hearing discussion on the radio just a couple hours ago; polls are divided. Many are showing Ted X can't beat her either.
Yeah right, and at this point in 1980 Reagan was 80% behind.
Trump is the ONLY one with a shot at beating Hilary, despite the polls published by those who want her in the WH.
yeah, but nancy was a witch-follower
In 1980 Reagan was behind Carter. This is a real big difference, because Trump isn't running against an unpopular incumbent, he's running against a popular candidate, BIG difference!
As poppa said, the polls show Trump losing to Hillary:

Yeah and that's how we wound up with Jugears for 8 years.
beg to differ PsychoDad, we wound up with Jugears for 8 years because of the rampant racism in America.
I'd still choose Heidi over Melania. Heidi's a lady.
Not sure about that, I have a hard time calling any woman who worked for Goldman Sachs a lady.
dump-trump.
Lose Cruz. When everybody's ready to quit swapping catchphrases and start discussing real issues, give Grownup World a call.
Exactly! The recent utterances have been meaningless and only serve to feed the cable news machine.
