Heidi Cruz is a product of a very straight-laced Seventh Day Adventist upbringing. In addition to her obvious intellectual abilities evidenced by her own education and her attainment of high position at Goldman Sachs, she seems the kind of woman that an also straight-laced Ted Cruz might seek to become the mother of his children. The lady apparently had a near nervous breakdown at one point. People her who do not know her then jump to conclusions that it must have been because her husband is an alley cat.

I ain't going to blame Ted Cruz for that. Personal experience.

Thanks for that post. We would all do well to tone it down. Enthusiastically supporting a candidate is one thing. Non-stop defamation is quite another. I support Cruz but I have absolutely no use for the tactic of dragging Melania Trump through the mud. She appears to be a dignified lady and does not deserve this treatment. I will give Trump full credit for his good choice of Melania as his wife.

Political differences are one thing and personal snide attacks on candidates' family members are quite another. If the lady made a mistake years ago, which of us has not done things we wish we had not. My understanding of Christianity is that we welcome the reform of those who have sinned and we extend to all the love of Christ.

I have little doubt that Donald Trump has been very generous and has used his fortune to assist folks who have not enjoyed similar success. Despite his ability to drum up a crowd, he has refrained from pointing to his personal charity towards others. I am a Catholic. I don't expect Trump or Cruz to agree with the dogmatic theology of my Church. We have many differences among us on matters of religion and otherwise. I would suggest that some of us Catholics who are having trouble with Trump's candidacy would be re-assured if he would share at least some of what he has done charitably. Not to brag but to give his heartfelt reasons for his charity towards disabled veterans or crippled children or anything else. I also recognize that many of my fellow Catholics DO support Trump already. We are also not happy with Pope Francis questioning Trump's faith. His faith is his business and Gods business and none of Francis's business.

This campaign on all sides has been too much bombast and not enough positives. In November, we will need the positives.

Thank you for your post and may God bless you and yours!
