    The GOP--in this case, the Cruz camp--just don't get it. Trump's followers LIKE this kind of thing. This won't dissuade them. It will just send them to Google Images to see what else is out there on her.

    Cruz is pretty slimy. He's the next ickiest person in the race behind Trump. However, these ads are coming from a super PAC. I also think that super PACs are icky, but that's a different topic.

    I gather the only reason people don't talk about him the way they talk about Trump is because all that fire is drawn by Trump himself.

    OMG! Ted Cruz called Mrs. Trump a certain naughty four letter word that means approximately a certain kind of lady. I would expect this sort of thing from a Republican. Well, I have to admit it: yes, I looked at the pictures. And I think Mrs. Trump is hot. BTW - How many times has Trump been married. I think I remember him having wives nameed Ivana and Marla.

    Three, two of whom were foreign, prompting the joke that Trump's wives prove that immigration is good because foreigners will do the jobs Americans don't want to do.

    Fair is fair, though. Trump is very open-minded. He completely ignored their immigration status when he cheated on them.

    All those workers enter and stay in the United States legally.

    Are you that xenophobic that you even think that people who come here the right way shouldn't be able to work?

    Me xenophobic? I have been called many things, but not that. I think the point of the article is that Trump is claiming there are no American workers willing to do the job. The employment experts in that area disagree. Foreign workers tend to be paid less, so I would conclude Trump is not doing it out of the kindness of his heart.

    I said that to highlight the absurdity of the anti-Trump people, he can't win in their eyes, no matter what he does. He was first accused of bringing in illegal workers, and once that was smashed to pieces, they started to scream that the legal workers would work for less than Americans.

    In my state, you have to make over $50,000 per year to make more than is given to the average welfare recipient. With that kind of system in place, why would most Americans take a lower paying job when they can get free money from the government?

    Just to clarify the contents, the advertisement was not approved by Senator Cruz's camp. Senator Cruz explicitly stated he had nothing to do with the advertisement.

    On the other hand Mr. Trump directly attacked Senator Cruz's wife with a comparative picture. Mr. Cruz's response was simply "Donald, real men don't attack women. Your wife is lovely, and Heidi is the love of my life."

    Now, back to your chumming.

    Illegal Polish immigrants were used in order to build Trump Tower.

    From The Weekly Standard:

    Trump Hired Polish Illegal Immigrants to Build Trump Tower | The Weekly Standard

    http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/donald-trump-signature-tower-built-polish-immigrants-article-1.2545330

    From the article:
    "The union wanted about $1 million in pension funds it said The Donald dodged by hiring the laborers. Trump denied knowing the workers illegal status. The case was settled in 1999 and the court records sealed".

    One can review countless news stories from both liberal and conservative sources. Trump's proponents claim that he did not hire illegal immigrants, his contractor did (or what is called plausible deniability). They will say that Trump had no way of knowing they were illegal. One is expected to believe that a seasoned savy businessman like Trump wasn't aware of what was going on at his own building site. I have a very hard time believing that.

    As has been observed, Trump has a penchant for threatening to sue people, including the media when he doesn't get his way. Trump has recently stated repeatedly that he "never settles" lawsuits based on principle. Yet he settled this case. I will let the reader draw his own conclusions.

    If Donald Trump wants to hold Cruz accountable for the super PAC ad about his wife, then does Trump think that he should be held accountable for the robocalls a white nationalist super PAC made for him? Trump has a long history of treating women terribly. His insults against Heidi Cruz were way out of line. He's a disgusting human being.
