Oh yeah, Trump is a pure as the driven snow. His claim to fame is building casinos that have ruined the lives of thousands.
I don't think you get to play it both ways.
Cruz supporters put him on an exalted pedestal and when anyone questions his spiritual duplicity shown by uncooth tricks, the response is to attack Trump for his baseness.
The difference is, we don't put Trump on an exalted pedestal of piety. We know Trump is like a junkyard dog and are proud that he is. We need a tenacious beast willing to fight our enemies to the death. All the other candidates are status quo politicians willing to say and do anything to grab the brass ring at all costs.
