Len Bell: Republicans are being immature in belittling each other

So much for “the high road”! Republicans are proving to the world why they are not capable of winning the White House. With nasty comments being flung wildly at each other it gives the Democrats all the ammunition they need to destroy whichever Republican candidate limps to the finish line. Hillary Clinton could most likely win the presidency from her jail cell the way the Republican candidates are acting.

Marco Rubio, you are a lightweight and you are not doing yourself any favors with your child-like approach to destroying Donald Trump. Do you really believe Trump is a con artist? Or are you just throwing it up against the wall to see how much will stick?

Ted Cruz, you are a nasty person who will do and say anything to discredit your opponents. Stop the lies, Ted. You are making the Republican Party look like immature fools.

Trump, you don’t need to dish out the insults to win the nomination. Ted and Marco will not win the race regardless of what they do or say. Leave them alone. Their immature attacks on you will eventually cook their goose.

Len Bell, Turlock
