Yeah, Trump and Cruz have really been going at it. Sounds like a schoolyard ruckus.
"Mine's bigger than yours, you shrimp."
"Oh, yeah. Mines bigger than yours you weenie-wink."
And as though that sewer wasn't deep enough, the fight went on to who fucked whom, and how many there were.
Sorry for the obscenities, but I'm just translating what they've been saying into plain English.
And when all of this juvenille crap ends, the President of the United States will be either Hillary or Bernie. Or, to prevent a fight, Bernie or Hillary.
Nonetheless, after this is all over, the biggest dick will have turned out to be Donald Trump. Although he'll never be president, he has forged a coalition of haters, who will always be there, and will never go away. He's made bigotry respectable.
So as big a dick as Cruz is, Donald wins. And here's why. He's made open, loud, bigotry, hatred and racism "respectable." He's made America a worse place.

(6,719 posts)Had not put it all together. It did seem as if there were hate groups prior to now. But 'respectable' is a new level. I am sorry for us. I shudder to think what the world is thinking of us and this election cycle. We are not a good example of democracy.

(23,944 posts)Trump just made them public and openly stated, rather than dog-whistled.
that doesn't make them respectable, any more than he's made dick jokes respectable.
Trump & his crowd haven't made any of this respectable or even acceptable, all they've done is make themselves look like gigantic assholes (or dicks, if you prefer to stick to one metaphor at a time).
i do agree that all this bullshit will end with either Hillary or Bernie in the Whitehouse, tho.
