My world has turned upside down!

I have been defending Ted Cruz on CNN and Mediate comments section.

I AM DEFENDING TED CRUZ .....I must have lost it
(over the wife tweet and JFK nonsense)

In a nutshell I don't understand why these people would expect him to support the man after such personal attacks.

Have Pigs learned to fly yet? Is this the twilight zone?

LOL

I just don't like it when you make fun of a candidates family like Trump did to both his wife and father. So I find it surprising the shock that some posters have at this non endorsement like that stuff doesn't matter.

Its certainly not a defense over policy. Also I blame the Trump campaign for letting him speak at all. Its another self inflicted wound by a bumbling campaign.

question everything

shudder... I would choose Trump. Cruz scares me. He wants to change the direction of the country and he is serious about it and he is thinking of 2020 or 2024 - he is young enough.

Trump has no central core so he can sway in either direction.

If I had to choose between those two on policy? I would pack my bags and migrate to Canada (if they would take me)

But what kind of man wouldn't defend his wife's honor? How could he even come back home if he made a speech glorifying the dear leader that basically said his wife was ugly to the entire nation.

Why did they even invite him to speak? Maybe it was Don's sadistic nature that wanted to watch him grovel further.
