Before you take another step there's somethings you should know.
Ted Cruz talks about his friend who died in 9/11, Trump can’t name one of ‘HUNDREDS’ of his who did » The Right Scoop -

Without clicking the link, I knew it would be Barbara Olson.


Did he really know her? Doubtful. Her clerked for the Supreme Court and Barbara's husband was the President's chief counsel.


He might have met her. He might even have dined with her, considering the circle he stammered around in.


So he can pull a name out of his butt and his supporters weep and cheer?


And why should Trump name anyone? I can name people who died in another national disaster (Murrah), but that doesn't qualify me to run for president.


Oh, the dredges people will churn up just to get in a silly bash.


As for Hannity, he really did know her and interviewed her many times. She was a staple on Fox News shows.

If he was ever president, he would need a 'Chief of Translation' to explain everything he 'really meant.' If there is any karma, that onerous task would fall to sycophant Christie, as Carson or Palin would only garble it.

Did he or did he not know someone who died in 9/11; so what? Ask my husband if he knew someone? He will tell yes. In honestly he didn't really know him, he worked with his wife in DC during the Reagan administration. So tech no he didn't. People get a life, what is the big deal? At least Cruz didn't claim he saw thousands of Muslims celebrating after 9/11?

Still hung up on that? By now you should have become familiar with Trump's vernacular. He is not testifying in court under oath. He is talking like normal people. If you say it took you "forever" to do something does it mean you are still doing it 5 years later?
