Post by William BrownsteinI agree on Trump not Cruz. Cruz should have distanced himself from the horrible remarks of his preacher that mentioned the death penalty for homosexuals. If Cruz's religious beliefs come into question, that's his faith, just like it was Obama's faith (sure).
Remember Obama had ties to Rev. Jerimiah Wright and who was that homophobic preacher that Obama had speak at his inauguration I think to remember? Obama can't stick to his story and keeps evolving as he says/said.
Obama pals with Raoul Castro at a baseball game on a day when terrorism occupied the thoughts of people around the world? He meets with a regime that has blood on their hands from the country my mother came from? Then he does Latin dancing on television and disrespects the victims in Brussels, which we found out also took out American lives? He doesn't go to the funerals of Supreme Court Justice Scalia or former First Lady Nancy Reagan?
I'll take my chances with Ted but who knows what the hell will happen next. I'm pretty much stunned, upset, angry, fed up and clueless from both sides. And you probably would have thought a year ago based on knowing me I would be thrilled a Jewish man is running and I would be thrilled. Well I'm not. I want no part of him, but at least he's honest about what he wants. Unfortunately that's everything I'm against.
The terrorism is out of hand and it might come down to voting for someone strong. I still can't see myself voting for Trump. My Aunt recently told me his daughter Ivanka is married to an Orthodox Jew (from my area). I still think he is
dangerous and think of him as using Hitler tactics. I can't believe I was a fan of The Apprentice all these years. I probably wouldn't have watched if I knew then what I know now.
I don't think opening a new chapter in our relationship with Cuba is "palling around with Raoul." Schedules being what they are for heads of state cancelling the trip would have been bad - to do what exactly? We warned Brussels about these specific terrorists - no thanks to Apple. What more exactly could we have done?
Ted is an idiot. Plain and simple he talks out of both sides of his mouth like Trump - there is no difference between them. Even republicans hate him.
Terrorism will only stop when we as a world address the underlying causes. No effort has been made by anyone to do that. Much of it is a backlash towards Israel and the countries who support it. Nothing will help Isis or Al-Queda more than bombing more or putting more troops back in - Ted's idea.
Yes, Trump's daughter is married to a guy named Kushner - I think it might be Jeffery or Jonathan - not sure, he is a publisher of a NY paper - possibly The Observer or The Examiner. He also is a venture capitalist and RE developer.
AS to Rev. Wright - he was far less homophobic than the vast majority of Christian ministers. Fox and the right hated him because he spoke harshly about racism. For what it is worth, he was decorated for his service I n the Korean War. He was not on the same level as the crew Ted sought out and embraced.
As the campaign continues, I don't see things improving. BTW - a couple of mainstream media outlets have confirmed two of the five women Ted had affairs with. I'm sure Bill C. is jealous. What a crew we have to work with.
