Trump’s Farcical ‘Sarcasm’ Defense the Damning Credibility Blow — Now No...

By his own oblivious measure, this reality stands out: no one now knows whether Trump ever means what he says. Or ever did. No wonder 2/3’s of the country judge Trump untrustworthy and unfit, if not the greatest phony dreaming of the WH? The seeming jokester has managed to turn himself into prime object of ridicule. This is politics as phantasmagoria, along with gruesome nightmares American is kaput. If language no longer has meaning, all bets are off, doomed by Trump’s indecipherable intentions.

Cruz Strike Out Displaces Trump and Clinton as Our Most Hated...

Is Cruz the moral hero, defender of his family honor, plus brilliant electoral tactician primed to pick up the GOP fragments after Trump is squashed? Or a foolhardy buffoon hoisted on his own smug righteousness? For months, Cruz’ unfavorables seriously lagged Trump’s and Hillary’s, curious after his self-soiling, miserable failures against a master of mud-slinging and calumny. Not anymore.
