Why couldn’t Trump have answered the ad showing the semi-nude GQ photo of Melania by saying something like: “Aren’t I a lucky guy? That’s MY “first lady,” every single day!”

Speaking to other men who work with things, I hear a commen theme: talking about 220VAC, kilns and the like, we say: “I used to fear it. Now I respect it.”

Because Respect is Fear moderated through Rules. You Fear a mad dog but will never Respect it. You Respect a guard dog because, although it is Fearsome, it is kept in check by its punctilious observance of the Rules.

And you keep your hands away from the bitey end. That’s another Rule.

I agree with your analysis of Sir Donald’s methods and character and appreciated the work laying out the time line. He is a slimy piece of work.

Well, we know that Trump HAS been serially unfaithful, unlike what we know about Cruz (which is nothing about his faithfulness). So what would that say about Trump?

Plus, I’ve actually always said that people can be unfaithful in the sexual realm and faithful in other realms. Not always, but certainly sometimes—the two are very different realms.

Lastly, Cruz’s dedication to the Constitution goes back to high school, and is well-known. I see no reason to doubt it.

Hillary is not a congenital liar – in HER view. She, like all leftists, merely have a different definition of “lie” and “truth.” To a leftist, “truth” is anything which advances the leftist cause, “lie” is anything which retards it. Therefore, she is telling the “truth” when she says she did not tell the families of the Benghazi victims that the video caused the attack — obviously, it would retard the cause if she were not elected. (I think we need new words to describe what leftists say; maybe “L-truth” and “L-lie.”)

Donald Trump is a liar also – he’s a real estate guy, and as someone who has dealt with many real estate guys over the years, I know he will say or do anything to get the deal. And it’s not as though he keeps that a secret — he published it in “America’s BEST-SELLING business book of all time!” as he’s so fond of saying.

The difference is that everyone once in a while, like a broken clock that is right twice a day, Donald will do the right thing. I think he genuinely loves America, and I think Hillary genuinely hates America. As between two people who are totally out for themselves, one of whom hates this country and the other who loves it, I don’t see much difficulty (not the same as reluctance and disappointment) in making a choice.

(As a plus, I know that the Donald is at least a fiscal conservative — he is renowned for his ability to get projects done on time and under budget. I think he also means it when he says ISIS will be destroyed — he has a genuine hate for Islamic radicals, probably derived from what they did to HIS city.)

I’m not at all sure about the accuracy of the polls showing Hillary beats Trump. I believe we’ve discussed here before the difficulty of polling in the modern era when so many people have only cell phones. I also think many people are very reluctant to admit to a pollster that they will vote for Trump. This opinion has no scientific basis — it’s just a gut feeling. And my gut feelings have been wrong many times in the past — but they’ve also been right many times.

IF Cruz has been repeatedly unfaithful, it is highly relevant because Cruz presents himself as a deeply religious man. That goes not just to character but to his purported faithfulness to the Constitution, which is in turn assured by his claim to his Christian faith.

As a deeply religious Christian, IF Cruz is unfaithful to his marriage vows, making a mockery of his claim to deep religious faith, what faith can we place in his claim to be faithful to the Constitution?

It raises the possibility of Cruz’s conservative bonifides being merely cynical political calculation…

Trump has a lot of chutzpah calling anyone else a liar.

To those begging some of us to vote for Trump because Hillary will be so bad – yes, this is awful. So the best thing to do is to get a nominee who is good. Trump isn’t, but there’s still time.

Charisma, Trump? Not with women.

And I’m surprised at your paying attention to the Enquirer. Sometimes they’re correct, often they’re not, and at this point there’s no reason to imagine that story is correct (see this, for example).

And why would anyone willing to support Trump even care whether Cruz has had affairs? Trump certainly has had them.

But seriously, do you have ANY doubt about what Hildabeast will do if SHE’s elected? She’s already committed high treason by exposing all our national secrets via the State Dept. email scandal — she deliberately exposed our national secrets to our foreign enemies, for God’s sake. Who have been paying her and Billy Jeff millions of dollars via the Clinton Crime Family Foundation fund!

She’s running to the LEFT of Bernie Sanders, Communist (yeah, right, the Socialist who has gone on the record as wanting a “100% tax rate,” i.e., Communism).

She hates America as much as Hussein does.

None of the above is true of Trump, erratic though he be.

And we’re at the point where we have our collective neck on the cliff edge: after 8 years of Hussein O., with Obamacare’s chains already fastened around our ankles, sitting this one out is a luxury we can’t afford. I beg you, please, please think this over.

AGREED, brdavis9!

The LEFT is by FAR our greatest threat. Hell, at least Trump wants America to WIN, and that ain’t tiddlywinks, compared to this Red/Pinko lot who’s running our nation into the ground.

So who will you vote for, the traitorous witch who’s Stolen the furniture out of the White House (talk about TACKY!) or the guy who will plate it with 24-karat gold?

Hmmm, let me see… so tough to decide!

Donated to Cruz twice, and I’m now shifting to Trump because he has the charisma to win. Ted, alas, has a negative Q quotient. Even Charles C. W. Cooke, who admitted he agrees with everything Cruz says, also declares he “can’t stand” the man. We do need someone with mass appeal in order to keep the Leftist orcs out of power; that’s just the way the human animal operates. AS we have seen with Hussein.

From those wonderful folks who brought you the Gary “Monkey Business” Hart scandal and the John Edwards’ “mistress and love child” scandal.

Can this race get any wilder? Wait until the Huma + Hillary stories hit the mainline. 😉
