Cruz announced his VP pick like two months ago. Get with the program!

The liberal pile-on is obnoxious and insufferable, and they resort to tactics that often just feel like smug, manipulative bullying. He says and does so much actually horrible shit that there really shouldn't be any need to twist his words and take things out of context.

At the bottom of a click bait commentary column:

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ― 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ― from entering the U.S

:haha:

The Republicans convene next week. I really hope there's not a major incident of civil unrest but would any of us be surprised if something happened?
