Donald Trump on Tuesday alleged that Ted Cruz’s father was with John F. Kennedy’s assassin shortly before he murdered the president, parroting a National Enquirer story claiming that Rafael Cruz was pictured with Lee Harvey Oswald handing out pro-Fidel Castro pamphlets in New Orleans in 1963.
A Cruz campaign spokesperson told the Miami Herald, which pointed out numerous flaws in the Enquirer story, that it was “another garbage story in a tabloid full of garbage.”
“His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being — you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous,” Trump said Tuesday during a phone interview with Fox News. “What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don't even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it.”
“I mean, what was he doing — what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting?” Trump continued. “It’s horrible.”...
Trump’s tangent followed his rebuke of Rafael Cruz using the pulpit to court evangelicals for his son.
“I implore, I exhort every member of the body of Christ to vote according to the word of God and vote for the candidate that stands on the word of God and on the Constitution of the United States of America,” Rafael Cruz said in a video clip aired by Fox News. “And I am convinced that man is my son, Ted Cruz. The alternative could be the destruction of America.”
Asked to respond, Trump called it a disgrace. “I think it’s a disgrace that he’s allowed to do it. I think it’s a disgrace that he’s allowed to say it,” he said, before touting his support from Jerry Falwell Jr. and other evangelical leaders.
Title is a bit strong - he's suggesting involvement - but the rules of the forum require it.
Oh, and then there was this interesting little tidbit:
It's a disgrace that a man has the right to free speech on behalf of his son (note it's not the content, but the freedom that Trump states is a disgrace), if that speech offends Donald Trump.
There is a minority chance that this man could win against Hillary Clinton (I think it would require an exogenous event, but it's there). All those precedents that Obama created? They'll be there for him. What a joy to look forward to.
So your byline is sarcasm CP? All this time I thought you were a Trump man.

Goodness, no. I'm a conservative.
Most trump supporters don't identify as liberals will.
How long will you continue to deny the fact that republicans are loving trump?

Still posting an article from 2015 that I've already had to address?Many do - and he seems to think he can pick off Bernie supporters (just as Bernie thought he could pick off Trump supporters). Anti-Trade, pro-PP, pro-UHC, Pro-Increasing-Taxes-on-the-Rich, there's plenty of room there.
That being said, Trump himself is no conservative, which is why a good part of why I will not support him.
Donald Trump’s Strongest Supporters: A Certain Kind of Democrat
Self identified republicans will. LOL.He is strongest among Republicans who are less affluent, less educated and less likely to turn out to vote. His very best voters are self-identified Republicans who nonetheless are registered as Democrats. It’s a coalition that’s concentrated in the South,
Oh no.
CP's a Cruzer.
I don't think he's a Cruzer. He was a Rubio man (like me, only I'm a girl). I think he's a Kasich man now (like me).
Nope, he's pretty firmly argued himself into the Cruz camp. In his view Cruz is the ultimate conservative movement warrior. I never saw him go all weak in the knees for Little Marco.

I think Cruz is a true conservative. I'll say it. I just won't vote for him. CP may end up voting for him, but he isn't a Cruzer in the sense that some others on here are.

Hmmm.
Maybe I'm wrong.
But I thought he and someone else (I forget her name) seemed pretty hot n heavy for Cruz a while back one of the threads.
So who will you vote for?
Goodness, no. I'm a conservative.

Gary Johnson if the GOP candidate is Trump or Cruz.
Ah, the libertarian. I'd disagree, of course, but at least he's not Trump or Cruz, so I'll give you props for that....
