And her dad thinks Ted Cruz’s dad assassinated JFK.
Her dad was curious about Pops Cruz passing out Pro Castro literature with Lee Harvey Oswald in Louisiana in 1963.
I kinda am too.
Did he or did he not?
No reasonable person believes so. http://www.factcheck.org/2016/07/trump-defends-oswald-claim/
Reasonable people use reason to discern truth from not-truth.
According to that Article, Pops Cruz says it’s ludicrous and he never was in New Orleans at that time.
Ted claimed his father assassinated JFK and several other ludicrous things.
Team Ted seems to follow a pattern of Clintonesque denials and semantics.
This is the problem when one doesn’t keep their word — they lose credibility.
Do I think Rafe was part of the JFK assassination? No, we all know how that happened from the Warren Commission Report.
Do I think that Rafe was in New Orleans? Yes, at some point.
Not at that time? He said so. What time?
Passing out Pro Castro leaflets? Possibly. He was a pro-castro youth wasn’t he?
Trump knows how to push Ted’s buttons, this was needling a sore point.
I’m tired of politicos with ambiguous responses and snarky word games.
The more outrage and righteous indignation in denial, the more I’m inclined to believe the accusation.
I hope you feel free to continue fighting with your fellow republicans over nothing while those of us with standards seek a third party worthy of our support.
I would welcome some info on this 3rd party of which you speak. Of course there is no such animal worthy of consideration this go round. Maybe you can get something going by 2020. In the meantime, we have some serious work ahead.
BetterforAmerica.com will announce their candidate after the Democrat convention. If that’s not suitable, Gary Johnson will be my desperation pick.
Perfect, throwing away a vote will help the grownups decide the future.
If you hate Trump more than you hate Hillary, you will be happy in no political organization other than democrat.
Not everyone chooses political candidates based on personal feelings like “hate.” I look for ideological alignment. Neither Hillary nor Trump works for me.
So you’ve been in the wilderness for some time eh?
McCain? Romney?
Ideological alignment is great for the primaries, you get to see who in the party agrees — if not your guy, the party rally around and supports the most favorite guy.
There are plenty of people who use their vote to send a message — however the only message that is received is delivered by the guy who wins.
Your third parties and ‘movements’ are just sparklies to fascinate those not paying attention to the real event.
It’s been a rough patch. I’ve held my nose and voted for some bad candidates. I might even hold my nose and vote for Trump if he had a shred of integrity and if he weren’t psychologically deranged. I’ve made the argument you’re now making to try to convince libertarians to vote for the republican, but I always acknowledged that protest vote is legitimate. Now I’m forced by standards and circumstances to cast a vote for a candidate who has only a 5% (at best) chance to win. So be it. Protest still is legitimate. But I think this is more than protest. The republican party may be finished. If it is, conservatives and libertarians will need to start over somewhere. Perhaps this desperate election cycle is the initial groping for a new beginning?
A protest vote is totally legitimate, it is a vote for none of the above — but it is not effective.
I urge you to do more research on Trump. I did on Cruz and it drove me to Trump.
Much of what we see comes from the selective editing of the media and his opponents — read his books, look at his works.
Of course he’s a SOB, but he’s our SOB.
Only perfect guy for office we see is in the morning mirror.
Which of the two most likely to win is least likely to destroy your world and screw things up for posterity?
I watched the republican debates in full. That showed me all I needed to see of Trump. (Btw, you understand that Trump didn’t write “his” books, right? You might check out what the real writer of The Art of the Deal has to say about Trump.) I hear you when you say nobody’s perfect, even the guy in the mirror. I don’t require perfection. I’ve voted for some very bad candidates (I even voted for Dole and McCain.) I would have voted for any of the republican candidates, save one. I don’t care that Trump is a jerk. I’ve heard Kasich is a jerk, but I’d vote for him. I care that Trump is psychologically deranged. Crazy I can’t live with, not in that position. I might vote for him for Congress, but not for president. Too dangerous. At a bare minimum, my candidate for president must be sane. I realize that’s a pretty low bar, but Trump manages not to get over it. Trump may be the only candidate on earth who can make me answer the question “which of the two most likely to win is least likely to destroy my world and screw things up for posterity” with “well, when you put it that way, probably Hillary.”
Well let’s just hope that I turn out to be a better judge of character than you do.
Obviously you trust Hillary and the socialists to pick the next group of Supreme Court justices, which tells me you have no commitment whatever to maintaining our Constitutional government.
I trust neither Hillary nor Trump, which is why I’m looking at third parties. I will never vote for the dishonest Hillary or the psychologically disturbed Trump.
Which clearly indicates you are best suited for the third parties and not Republican.
The third party Elba is a fantasy much like Rosie and Alec Baldwin leaving the country — standard tantrum.
Nobody thinks Rosie or Baldwin will leave the country. Meanwhile, Gary Johnson is at 13% in the polls, and betterforamerica.com has raised millions of dollars. That’s very real.
And it’s really very nothing. If enough people are unhappy with Trump and Hilary, then they will vote for Johnson or howard stern or whoever — and Trump or Clinton will win and if it was close, Johnson or whoever will get blamed.
Elections are win or lose – you can vote for your guy to win, or you can throw your vote away on a guy who will lose.
Sone people choose to elect leaders, others choose to tickle the mood centers of their brain.
You’re clearly right that Trump will blame third parties and nevers if he loses, as he likely will. I think you ignore the (admittedly remote) possibility of throwing the election to the House if no candidate gets a majority in the electoral college. I won’t lie. It much, much more likely that Hillary will win. Oh well, we’ve survived eight years. Perhaps we can survive four more?
If no candidate gets the majority, the NEW House caucuses by state and the first to 26 wins. MaybeBarbara helps to decide our President.
Your sparklie votes will also choose the congressman as well as protest vote.
Which President would Team Ryan/Boehner choose? What would America think about ¡Jeb! … because Congress knows best???
Also, you are as high as a Georgia pine if you think the country can survive another 4 years with Hillary.
Are the stakes really that low for you to afford investing in your protest vote?
Third party efforts are good for down ballot conservatives because they will drive turnout among conservatives and Libertarians, who otherwise would not turn out to vote for Trump or Hillary. In fact, although the top of the ticket will be dicey, down ballot republicans could have a banner year between the populists turning out in droves to vote for Trump and the conservatives and Libertarians turning out to vote for the third parties. This is the result Cruz’s speech sought to preserve. I’m tempted to vote for the less dangerous of the two major party candidates, but I just can’t bring myself to vote for Hillary. My candidate must meet some minimal standard of acceptability, and neither major party candidate does.
Do you really think Libertarians and Constitutionalists are going to head to the polls to register their protest vote and then think ‘yeah, that Comstock gal sure has moxie?’
Ted Cruz speech called on Republicans to break their word as well — in essence; ‘let’s all get a little bit dirty.’
If you’re a Republican, I expect you to support Trump, if you’re not supporting Trump, I don’t expect you to be a Republican.
You gotta do what you gotta do, but don’t expect to be welcome to swim if you’re going to pee in the pool.
Most libertarians and conservatives have been voting republican for decades. The danger for down ballot republicans is that a large percentage of us will stay home rather than vote for Trump. That’s how Trump can take the whole party down with him. But if there’s a decent option to keep us going to the polls as usual, down ballot republicans can have the best of both worlds. They get the populists AND the conservatives and libertarians. I’ve voted republican in every presidential election since 1984, frequently straight republican ticket. I won’t be voting for Trump. There are enough people like me to make a difference to down ballot republicans. If Trump causes the republican party to complete its transformation into an old-style union/populist democrat party, you’re probably right that the days of conservatives and libertarians supporting the republican party are almost over. But this election could be exceptional. Even though there’s a unionist/populist at the top of the republican ticket, there still are a lot of limited government republican candidates down ballot. They will want and need our votes. Having a decent option at the top will help them get our votes (this time). You’re right, though, that once this time of transition settles out, conservatives and libertarians like Ted Cruz, Ben Sasse, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, etc will have to decide where their long-term home is. Right now, I think they’re thinking Trump is a short-term problem that they can wait out. But if this turns out to be the new identity of the republican party, we’ll all have to find a new home.
If I can help some/all of the Republican ‘nevers’ and the absolute purists to your New Libertutionists, you may thank me when successful.
