Discussion: New Pro-Cruz Robo Call Warns SC Voters Against Gay-Friendly Trump

Hang in there Mattin! Just remember that it will all be mercifully over on Election Day. Take solace in the fact that Madame President Hillary Clinton will round them all up on the day after her inauguration and send them to those recently finished FEMA camps. LOL!

Actually for all those Rapture folks, it can’t come soon enough to sweep them all away and leave the rest of us in a much better place. One can only hope…

Wait, did you say “the evil version” of Joe McCarthy? - As opposed to, say, uh - words fail me.

It appears to me that Cruz has a kept secret about his sexuality too…remember, those who keep calling out gays are often engaged in gay sex in secret places…

Cruz, Trump…the people I am afraid of are the voters and supporters of these people. If the VOTERS of the GOP were different, then these politicians would be different.

Once, heading down to Florida, my wife and I happened to stop by a Mickey D’s for coffee and we saw a bunch of people (not Latino) who were watching FOX. How respectable they looked! Nice people…the kind that one sees at the Easter Egg Roll. At the baseball game.

We moved along.

Yes, one wonders why indeed!

Now that made me chuckle!

Whoa…you’ve hit the nail on the head! Great composition. But the last pic of Cruze needs to be darker, like his personality.

Oh, wait. if you did that tinting to match the darkness of his soul, the pic would be…wait for it…

…entirely black!

“It’s about mandatory celebration. It’s about forcing people to bake cakes and photograph gay weddings. Forcing clergy to officiate. It’s about transgender bathrooms in your child’s school. It’s about tearing down our Judeo-Christian values. It’s about tearing down our America," the voice on the robo call says, according to BuzzFeed.

It will be interesting to find out how much of an affect this type of divide-and-conquer, boogeyman-hate tactic has in South Carolina. Granted, the state is in the Deep South and has always had a very socially conservative bent. Like many places, South Carolina has been going through a bit of a transformation, demographic shift. My home state of Virginia seemed like it would NEVER start working itself out of the Dark Ages, but we are changing … mostly for the better, in my opinion.

If this tact works well in SC, I’d expect Cruz and others to use it again and again–especially in the South. If it doesn’t work or has a pretty minimal effect, then we as a nation really are crossing over a big threshold in that vilifying the lgbt community wouldn’t be worth the hate effort and money.

I will say this: So long as Trump doesn’t attempt to walk back that statement, then big-time kudos to him. Ted Cruz is still the hateful slimy asshole he’s always been. I really feel sorry for his children.

edited for grammar.

I’m with you. I sincerely hope for a brokered convention.
‘Reality TV’ producers will look on steeped in envy.

What a joke, dirty tricks between Ted “the Canadian anchor baby” Cruz and Donald “the draft dodging coward” Trump.

How surprising!

Greenville is really a mixed bag. It has a ton of hipsters, a large athletic community, decent industry and is home to Bob Jones University. What’s funny is the Bob Jones students are the ones that stand out in a crowd, especially the women in their conservative, old before their time, outfits. Kind of like Kim Davis at the State of the Union.

Times are changing, that’s what’s freaking so many of them out.

May I hear an ‘Amen’ to that, please? Yes, I hear it here in central Virginia, because Albemarle County has loads of colleges and the biggies, at that. We have some of the state’s best and biggest hospital systems – and it’s fair to say that with the UVA Hospital and Medical Centers, we have some of the nation’s best. Because of all that, this region has always been a bit more up the curve than much of the rest of the state, sans the Washington, D.C. metro region. That said, I still come across someone now and again who are genuinely freaked out at “where we’re headed.” I am so very happy Virginia is moving along. It will never be a California–at least in my time–but it is growing on me again. I just wish, though, we had a more functioning, cohesive lgbt community … that’s visible.

I really am interested to see tonight’s results.
