    You and me both. Trump and Clinton leaves a very four taste in my mouth. Neither will ever get my vote. But it has been most interesting and fun. I figured once Trump brought up the birther issue, Cruz wouldn't support him if he wins the nomination. Trump also has a huge feud with Bush and a smaller one with Rubio. Trump reminds me of a 5th grade schoolyard bully. Definitely not presidential timber. Neither is Hillary. Oh how I wish we could start this whole process over again without Trump and Clinton. Perhaps we might then get someone who would actually make a good president.

    It would probably be Biden vs. Cruz and Biden would win that election pretty easily, because as goofy as he is, America isn't electing a televangelist. Cruz would have had the potential to win every state in the primary, because the electorate is angry and the establishment was split. He could have rolled through the first 4, cleaned up on Super Tuesday, perhaps only losing MN to Little Marco, and it would have been over.

    It was a picture that probably sold MILLIONS of copies and is WIDELY available on the internet, what exactly is Trump's complaint about it? That it merely had a picture of his wife? Most people I know, including women, said "lucky guy".

    That would be a crime you know, and Cruz being the very well versed lawyer he is would know that as would his campaign.

    So what evidence do you or Trump have to back up your claims he committed a felony?

    And you DO realize it would not be illegal for Trump to work with his buddy the editor at NE to coordinate the story.

    So who is most likely to have done so?


    But in those stories they were actully doing hard reporting and report factual evidence, here is is supposition and conjecture and hearsay which they admit to in the story.

    Well then why would Cruz denounce something we know for a FACT it is true, that IS his wife in the picture isn't it, she did pose for that world wide mainstream publication in the buff didn't she helping to sell the magazine by exposing herself and getting paid to do so? Did I get anything wrong?

    Again, it would be a felony, what evidence is that he or someone in his campaign committed a felony. If it got out he did then that would end his run because he is a Republican, only Democrats elect felons and don't care they committed felonies even when they involved sexual harassment of subordinate employees or our national security or the selling of influence.

    WEll that settles it.

    I've always like Joe. There are times when what he says doesn't come out as he wants it to. But in a way, that is part of his charm. Joe has been around long enough, he knows how to work both sides of the aisle and he doesn't make enemies. I could vote for Joe, but never Hillary.

    My ideal match for this November was Kasich vs. Webb. A pipe dream to be sure, but either one would have been great for this country.

    Trump has lost all respect I had for him. It's clear that he's lying about his coordination with the NE. When was the last time the NE ran a negative story about him. Trump supporters are just as disgusting as he is to blindly buy this crap. There's no way in hell I would vote for him or Hillary. I would prefer the GOP establishment stops him at the convention. Trump ain't likely to get the delegates that he needs so he's toast at the convention. Dead man walking. If he does become the nominee, you can guarantee there will be a 3rd party candidate to make sure that he has no chance of winning. That would be the ultimate troll job! If he keeps this up with Cruz, don't be surprised if Cruz goes 3rd party. Trump and Hillary would both get destroyed by Cruz at the debates. Trump doesn't want to argue issues with Cruz because he knows he would be destroyed. That's why he's deflecting and trolling right now. Just a pathetic human being. I hate him as much as I hate Obama and Hillary.

    So you support Wall Street Tricky Ted for president? Obviously you are an Internationalist like Cruz's wife.

    Well, you're out of luck, Cruz just suspended his campaign to get out before Wisconsin, like Carson did before Iowa and Rubio did before Hawaii.

    No contest there either, Trump in a walk. As Burr was quoted as saying after the famous duel, "at the most crucial moment, when his life hung in the balance, Hamilton's hand shook - mine never does." Burr immortalized one of the worst colonial politician's in history by killing him. Comparison would, of course be that Trump is Burr, and Cruz is Hamilton.

    I don't know why Cruz has even remained in the race. The GOP RNC will begin, starting in Wisconsin, 100-straight days of anti-Trump television advertisements, in an effort to prevent him from getting the nomination, and naming Cruz as the person who the people should vote for.

    However, that being said, the RNC has also publicly stated that Cruz is not their choice for the nomination either, John Kasich is, a man who won his home state of Ohio - only. I have no idea whether Cruz had affairs with other women, adultery really isn't major news IMO, unless one is so addicted to it like Bill Clinton or Bill Cosby, that they become retarded. Hillary, of course, has done everything in her power to enable her husband to satisfy his extra-marital affairs, that will be something that will be heavily used against her in the general election.

    Anyway, the nasty little dust-up is coming from the National Enquirer, a newspaper that has, on occasion, broke some pretty big stories (John Edwards; George Bush, Jr.'s Florida win in 2000), but often takes a scattergun when it comes to news and misses by a mile. What both of these two should do is follow the cardinal rule that wives and children are off limits in politics, unless they do something criminal, and forget about it.

    Mrs. Trump's photos were from 10-12 years ago, done before she met him, and sent off for public viewing, with the idea she wanted to be discovered! The photos always were meant for publication. I bet she never thought she would be in a position to have them published, when she might become the First Lady of the United States, however. Trump responding with an unflattering photo of Cruz's wife, who hasn't ever posed for photos, or sent any out into the great vast information arena, probably was unfair.

    No, here we have Cruz again, attacking Trump, for something he says he never had or took part in, a supermarket rag newspaper, read by millions, but not really taken seriously by many, that Cruz has had affairs. Cuts to the heart of Cruz's evangelical support I would think. These two need to cool it - Trump needs to concentrate on the primaries - where he should easily beat Cruz up again - no matter how nasty the RNC television ads are (people don't like them - and don't believe them), as was shown in Florida where they spent $44 million dollars on them for Rubio and Trump steamrolled him. Cruz has some credibility problems, his damaging of Ben Carson's reputation, and distribution of those phony voting cards earlier in the campaign, don't leave him with the pure white reputation he tries to portray, so who knows, maybe he is an adulterer also?...............if so - is it REALLY NEWS? And if so - is it sufficient to destroy his career, and make him ineligible for the Presidency?.......... where there is smoke, usually there is fire. Time will tell.........

    He already did that. Trump should have nothing more to say about it, the problem is Ted Cruz's and the National Enquirer's, not Trump's.......

    From what ranks? Those of the bought and sold Congressmen and Senator's who Trump has exposed, and who everybody in America knows are corrupt, including Rubio and Cruz? What Trump has done is bring the GOP into modern times, and shift public opinion on numerous topics every other politician was afraid to talk about. He is for America - America - America. Cruz; Bush; Rubio; Kasich? All for themselves...........

    This should be a very easy issue to deal with for Cruz.
    If this story is true, Sat morning he should go out and tell everyone he is quitting the race.
    Not answer any question, and just leave.
    Because in the realm of things, having an affair is not frowned upon for very long.

    If this story is false. Cruz needs to state the he is filling a $1 Billion lawsuit against the
    National Enquirer for libel.
    And let the courts handle it.
    Trump surely can't complain about someone suing another person.

    Since the national enquirer endorsed Trump, it's a safe bet that they are now actively working to smear his opponents.
    After all, the enquirer is the flagship newspaper of the Trump chump crowd. At least those that can actually read.

    Everyone looks for something different in choosing a presidential candidate to support. Myself, the first question I as is that candidate, will he leave this country better off when he leaves office than when he first entered. The answer to that question for both Trump and Clinton is a resounding, NO. One is in this for his ego and the other for the power. Neither to do what is right or good for the country.

    Agree with you on Clinton, however, Trump gave up a perfectly comfortable high life, billionaire life-style, to make this Presidential run; the meta media, who he already has knocked off of their pedestal for truth, fairness and accuracy, and millions of people who only believe rumor and false reports about him, keep falling or 5he sizzle of rumor's not the steak or accomplishment. Trump is a fixture in New York City and New York State politics; Wall Street; mega banking; economy theory and practice; real estate development, and one of the premier companies in America to work for. In addition, he is a fixture in Florida, where he employs thousands of Hispanic's routinely, many of them in temporary jobs, because a lot of his business is tourism, and in Florida those are usually 6-month job lengths. He vettes them, they return to Mexico or other Central American counties at the end of the season, and return back to their jobs routinely every year. So, when he speaks about economics and illegal immigration - you know that he knows what he is talking about. Even Black leaders are coming around to the position that his immigration policy against illegals hurts their job opportunities and keeps many of them unemployed. Difficulty with relationship's? OK - but at least his were all in the open, and he married them all, unlike a low life like Bill Clinton, who used the White House for a brothel and Hillary for the madam.

    You would be hard pressed to find a major scandal regarding Mr. Trump that would make the general public renounce him as a leader other than the idea that he is brazen, perhaps a bully. Well - after Obama, what America really needs is a bully in domestic and world affairs, not the tweety-bird voice of a Ted Cruz, or the long running, seven year apology tour Obama has taken us on and Clinton wants to continue. If there was a major scandal, even somewhat similar to those Hillary Clinton is facing in trying to win the White House, regarding Mr. Trump, it would have been printed and vetted all over the world (this election has galvanized people everywhere, including, LOL, Sweden). Those who work for the man; those who deal with the man; those who know his family, all speak highly of him in every regard. The skill set he would bring to the White House is double that of the past two President's.

    So, whether you like him, or not, depend on facts, not innuendo, regarding Donald Trump, who has been around for ages on the American political scene, usually behind it. He is a populist, not totally conservative - and of all things - honest. If the RNC or the Democrats or the mainstream media can knock him out based on some facts that haven't yet come to light - they would have done so. The fact that they haven't been able to do it, shows there isn't anything crucial that should scare anybody. f

    We tried the Boy King in George Bush, Jr. and failed.

    We tried the Hope And Change In Obama, and got total divisive politics and major increased racial tensions, plus abandonment of our allies;

    We are faced, again, with a discredited and heavily laden bag lady reputation and honesty-wise, in the aging Hillary Clinton who the country already rejected once.

    Regarding the established Republican Party (soon to be a thing of the past if they actually do deny Trump the nomination), all of their choices; Cruz; Bush; Rubio; Christie; Fiorina; Carson; Kasich; Romney; McCain; Dole - et al, have been swept away, because the people understand Mr. Trump, and are trusting him, and voting for him, in great big batches across the political spectrum, an amazing feat considering he only stepped into the active role from behind the scenes of politics, nine months ago, and has swept them all aside, including the media, print and electronic.

    The hatred, the lies, the uninformed opinions being used on Mr. Trump, whose entire campaign revolves around people - America - and how to fix this country, instead of allowing for more of the same Washington gridlock, has resonated across the nation and the world. The experts all thought they were smarter than he is, the experts are all wrong............yes, I agree Clinton is a known, and unwelcome quality in the White House, and would finish destroying this country where the past two President's have led us (and remember, Trump was against the Iraq War, Mrs. Clinton wasn't). Four years of Trump in the White House is not dangerous; his hand on the alleged nuclear trigger (in actual fact there isn't one, submarine captains can actually launch nuclear without Presidential approval in some cases), doesn't scare me - it might scare Syria; Iraq; Iran; Isis; China; North Korea; Russia and other rogue states, but not American's. Trump would be a steady and hopeful voice in Washington as he dismantles the gridlock of the past 50-some years there of the professional politicians there, and that's what scares all of them to hysteria about him winning that nomination..............
