AND REPUBLICANS ACTUALLY WANT TRUMP OR CRUZ TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?

       After reading the commentary below, please express your own thoughts.  Instructions on how to do so are written at the bottom of this column.  Thank you.

     Neh-neneh-neneh-neh.  That's what I expected Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump to annoyingly shout - along with sticking out his tongue - during a CNN Town Hall event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Tuesday, March 29th, 2016.  

     Moderator Anderson Cooper asked Trump about a not so flattering photograph that the current GOP front-runner re-tweeted of Ted Cruz's wife, Heidi next to a glamour shot of Trump's wife, Melania.  As a result...the ruckus between the billionaire businessman and the Texas Senator became - for the lack of a better phrase - "a real pissing match"...when Trump accused Cruz of using a sexy photograph of Mrs. Trump in a campaign commercial.  The picture of the then-Melania Knauss was from a January 2000 edition of GQ Magazine before she was married to the real estate tycoon.  But the image shows the now-Mrs. Trump...nude...but in a not-totally-revealing pose.  The ad was produced, however, by the anti-Trump Super PAC...Make America Awesome...not by the Cruz Campaign.  But Trump threatened to "spill the beans" about Mrs. Cruz...and - at the time - didn't explain what he meant by his remark.  

     However, a Trump spokesperson later clarified the candidate's comment by saying that "(Heidi Cruz's) entire career has been spent working against everything Ted Cruz says that he stands for."  Katrina Pierson told MSNBC's Steve Kornacki that "(Mrs. Cruz) is a Bush operative...she worked for the architect of NAFTA - which has killed millions of jobs in this country...she was a member on the Council on Foreign Relations who - in Senator Cruz's own words - called a nest of snakes that seeks to undermine national sovereignty...and she's been working for Goldman Sachs - the same global bank that Ted Cruz left off of his financial disclosure."  But the "food fight" didn't end there.
   
     Trump - at the Town Hall meeting - told Anderson Cooper..."Look, I didn't start it."  Kudos to Anderson for answering Trump the way he did with..."Sir, with all due respect, that's an argument of a 5-year old."  What a perfectly awesome comeback line from the CNN anchor.  But Trump - like a snotty little kid - continued with his bratty demeanor by saying..."It is not."  At that point, I was waiting for this graduate of the Wharton School of Business to stomp his feet and have a temper tantrum.  But two thumbs-up to Anderson who hit Trump back with..."The argument of a 5-year old is, 'He started it.'"

     All this nastiness and nonsense by a couple of pompous windbags are an embarrassment to the Republican Party and to America as a whole.  That being said, it's thankfully and happily giving more support to the Democrats... especially from Independents.  All in all...the bickering by Donald Trump and Ted Cruz will prove to


voters that Hillary Clinton is the best choice to lead our country as President and Commander-In-Chief come January 20th, 2017.

     The childish feud between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz is tantamount to two little boys scuffling...and one turning to Mommy and insisting that his brother "started it."  If Republicans nominate either one of these immature imps then the GOP should be ashamed of themselves.  These juvenile jackasses are worse than a couple of obnoxious prepubescent monsters.  I think it's time that Master Trump and Master Cruz be sent to their rooms with no TVs, no video games, no cell phones and no computers.  Maybe after a "time-out"...this pair of whining crybabies will learn their lesson.

     No.  They probably won't.

     And that's The Controversy for today.
