Classic projection politics — attack your opponent by using your own weaknesses and deficiencies as theirs. But what is sad is that the media plays right into it and lets Trump get away with this. Consider this: PolitiFact and FactCheck.com have consistently shown that the candidate, D or R who has made the most false or mostly false statements, i.e. untruths, lies if you will, is Donald Trump. By HUGE margins. Actually Clinton is at the bottom of this list, with only John Kasich scoring slightly better than Hillary on the Truth Scale. So, what does Trump do? He brands Cruz as Lying Ted, and media repeats that moniker ad nauseum, without challenge or asking Trump about his falsehoods . . . . so over time the brand becomes “fact” due to repetition and the projective politics the media loves to play.
I don’t think so. I think this is Donald and it is scary.
Trump is preferable to Cruz. They are both cancers, but Cruz is stage 4.
The Donald has succeeded at the nearly impossible task of making Ted Cruz sympathetic and, almost, endearing…
Cruz painted Trump as a “pathological liar” in a last-minute bid to appeal to voters in the Indiana primary.
Trump: I love the pathologicals. I will be so good for pathologicals, they’ll get bored with having it so good. Pathologicals LOVE me. Ben Carson had pathological and HE loved me.
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?
Mem’ries, may be beautiful and yet
What’s too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it’s the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember…
The way we were…

~sigh!~ Guess it’s officially over, huh?
The operative thing is The Trump VOTER.
This was a project for the ages…sought, identified, cultivated, nurtured and now ready…
There is nothing that Trump can now say which will dissuade them. Trump is a once-in-a-lifetime combination of characteristics highly suitable for his people. The question is…
-
How many true Trumpers?
-
How many hangers-on Trumpers?**
-
How many just in it for the celebrity or something similar? **
** I once saw a photo of a lynch mob. The people there comprised a scene out of a church picnic.
Men, women children. Ties and Sunday dresses were worn by adults and the children were
happy and wholesome-looking. In the corner of the photo were two African American men
(the viewer of the photo could easily miss them). It could have been the real Alpha haters were
the ones who actually did the lynching…the rest just hangers-on or people looking for “something
to do”
Maybe only the Alpha Trumpers are immune to being reasoned with. On the other hand, lieutenants,
hangers-on, thrill seekers can do the same amount of damage with a Trump vote as an Alpha
The fact is that Ted Crazy DOES have the “Temperament” to be President. Both He and HRH HRC have the same temperament, as a matter of fact. A core sense of self entitlement, combined with a Nasty, Cold, and Distant disposition, All of it poorly hidden behind a pasted on smile which barely hides a strained “tolerance” of “the little people.”

Lyin’ Ted better be careful. The Donald might just bring back his cheating scandal from the reputable National Enquirer.
tRump has the guts to talk about someone’s temperament? I think it’s time to break out the YUUUUUGGGGGGGE bowl of popcorn.
Proof that The Donald really is Dracula: He can’t see his own reflection in the mirror.
I am rubber, you are glue…
Yet Ted managed to become the devil incarnate to his fellow Republicans in just a few years in the Senate. Hilary was generally liked.
Cruz is just a slightly more refined, and a lot smarmier, version of Trump. Why pick a cheap imitation, when you can have the original?
So, we have two liars. How to differentiate between?
Easy: Trump doesn’t give a shit what Cruz says. Cruz wilts under Trump’s remarks.
As someone who appreciates a good image reaction post, I must say that was awesome.
