Trumps simply saying into the microphone what Mitt Romney said should be confined to “quiet rooms.”

That is the world in which Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Tom DeLay, Louis Gohmert, Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney all hold hands and sing “cumbayah.”

It isn’t new, Trump isn’t breaking ground, he’s simply saying into the microphone what Mitt Romney said should be confined to “quiet rooms.”

The conservative pundits who reached for their fainting couches when Trump said the military should disobey orders and torture people were the same ones who cheered the loudest when Dick Cheney defended torture under the term “enhanced interrogation.” They were the ones who nodded in agreement or at best sat on their hands when Rush Limbaugh described the torture at Abu Ghraib as a “blowing off steam.”

The right wingers who howled as conservative financier Foster Friess advocated women put a pill between their knees as contraception want us to believe they are shocked and appalled when Trump makes crude remarks about menstrual blood or made remarks about Carly Fiorina’s attractiveness?

Who are they trying to fool?

Which is why the other candidates are nearly as alarming as Trump & Cruz.

Of course Trump's narcissistic nature makes him especially dangerous. And Cruz's zealotry makes him particularly frightening.
