If antics are to be talked about. Let's mention the antics of Ted Cruz last night. I haven’t harbored a single thing against him until his little stunt on stage. Now? What a bastard. I guess making that pledge was all well and good until it wasn't convenient.
My take is, most professional politicians don't look at "pledges" the same way we do. They're negotiable, malleable, changing. Just like Barry and his having "evolved" about gay marriage.
They all lie -- it's just a question of degree.
