Response to Hadley
Reader comment on item: Ted Cruz for President
in response to reader comment: why now?
Submitted by Anon (India), May 5, 2016 at 21:01
Referring to Barack Obama as "equally ignorant, inexperienced, undignified, and characterless" as Trump speaks to how intellectually bereft the GOP has become. Comments like these prove that the conservative movement in the US is destined for the trash can of history where it belongs.
Obama has been a top notch President and his approval ratings reflect it.
