Now we should know what shit will come out of this mouth when attacking HRC, even worst bullshit.

Good gawd, this man is insane.

Cruz is used to being the smartest guy. Now he's just pathetic. What did he think the birther was going to do to him?

That is low, and this is after Trump suggested his wife was ugly.

There is some Trump flack on CNN who is saying Trump is the aggrieved party.

Cruz said nothing. Birther Donald went after every GOP running Cruz said he liked him, what did he think birther Donald would do to him?

Churchill said you can fight them when they are weak and you are strong or you can wait to fight them when they are stong and you have no choice.

I believe Churchill also said that by appeasing the lion it only means it eats you last.

I don't like either of em but trashing people's dads and wives is so wrong.

After this. Cruz is maybe worse than Trump on his issues but maybe if Cruz does some of the Dems work on calling out Trump in such an impassioned way, it could help us.

Trump is vile...

He's hitting Cruz with a fish wrapper like the National Enquirer, and if he thinks that's a legit news story, he's going to use every rumor, gossip, lie and conspiracy he finds on the internet. There will be no photoshopped image too outrageous for him to ignore, no crazy blog entry or crazy comments too outlandish that he won't pass them along.

She's tough and she's had to grow a thick skin after decades of nonstop rightwing attacks, but what's coming is going to be very bad.

She'll leave the mud wrestling and name calling to her surrogates. She's going to present a very dignified and self confident presidential demeanor from here on out in contrast to Trump's foul mouthed, bigoted, sexist, bully boy image.

There is no combination of racist white male turnout, gerrymandering, and within-the-margin vote theft which can turn around an 18-month long sustained attack on three-quarters of all American voters. Trump has managed to make it personal for most of us. From this point on we can focus on a supermajority in the Senate and flipping the House.

All Mrs. Clinton (Or Senator Sanders, in increasing theory) has to do is act like one will have to act once the job is won.
