John Kasich again the moderate, for now at least.

Chris Christie flipping back on everything he said he was for in hopes of staying up.

It was public before the senate election.

I see it was disclosed to the Senate, but I don't see where it was public. I definitely remember this being utterly unknown during his Senate campaign.

Do you have a source?

I read it in an article somewhere, I'm not going to go find it right now. Regardless, taking out a loan is hardly a sin. Who cares if it was from GS, It's a loan.

It's both. I still don't understand your comment, but it's fine. I don't see how it would be different on PBS.

After quite a bit of Googling among hard-right websites, I found a Twitter picture of someone holding what appears to be a financial form from the Cruz Campaign that's utterly arcane as to the terms of the loan, when it was publicly disclosed (as opposed to filed to the Senate), and, at best, completed just two weeks before the election date. I hope that isn't your "source".

Once again, I don't know how his supporters would have taken this.

No, but I don't recall what it is. Really though, taking out a loan is not news. Even if you criticize bailouts. This really isn't complicated.

His supporters wouldn't have cared. It's a loan.

Oh god

Right Trump, because people bring a ton of guns to concerts and the venue lets them do that

At least they acknowledge the mental health problem, so that's progress

I believe his supporters wouldn't have cared if they're accurately represented by the crowd at this debate.

We'll see if this thread cares more about Cruz's loan than Trump does LOL. I want to find out.

Rubio is technically correct that most criminals do not get their guns from gun shows. But only technically.

Criminals generally steal their guns from legal owners, buy guns through associates that can pass background checks, or obtain guns through private sales. All of which are definite issues.
