Are they covered by health insurance?

Next - of course Cruz’ will be trouncing Carly Fiorina for using innocent kindergarten children as props and background for her dismembering fetus rant at her press conference (published today) - without asking permission from their parents if it’s OK if she “uses” their kids on a TV rant for dismemberment of the unborn. Cruz will have a hard time denouncing her, I’ll bet. She’s one of “them”, after all. I think Cruz videotapes all of those fetal dismemberments, or someone must do it? I mean, that is FOR REAL, isn’t it?

Sorry Ted, but was is “unprincipled” is Palin’s allegation that Track’s behavior is somehow Obama’s fault. And, she’s already endorsed Trump, so it would be best to cease fishing for the support of her “base.”

She sure did, blaming Obama for the invasion of Iraq, the source of the drunken young warrior’s mental issues.

Still no word on when Track’s girlfriend will finally apologize to him — ala Harry Whittington — for his punching her.

TPM:

“You should leave our family members out of it,” Cruz said. “It’s dirty, it’s unprincipled, it’s wrong …”

The way Republicans left Amy Carter out of it? The way Conservatives left Chelsea out of it when Bill Clinton was President? The way the Tea Party has left Sasha and Malia Obama out of it, Ted?

At least none of them were guilty of domestic violence, which is often newsworthy in its own right, whether or not the perp’s Mom just endorsed a Republican candidate.

And seriously, Ted Cruz calling anyone unprincipled is like Hitler complaining about someone being anti-semitic.

Yes, she boasted that her family’s rap sheet stretches all the way to Russia.

You underestimate Ted’s sleaziness.

This isn’t about Ted begging Palin to reconsider her endorsement.

This is about making it look, to conservatives and evangelicals, like Cruz is rising above something as petty as holding a grudge against Palin - while simultaneously reminding everyone that she was a lousy mother who raised lawbreaking kids.

I agree that minor children should be left out of it. Track is 26.

I initially read this quickly as “Cruz’ will be touching Carly Fiorina”

Reached for the brain bleach before I took a second look.

Gratuitous, desperate pandering.

Not to mention that it wasn’t much of a national story until Sarah made it one.

“Thanks, mom.”
