How Many More Conspiracy Theories Can America Wedg

Welcome to the Indiana Primary.

Welcome to the rest of your political life, America.

"His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being—you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous," Trump said Tuesday during a phone interview with Fox News. "What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up.

They don't even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it." "I mean, what was he doing—what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting?" Trump continued. "It's horrible."

Trump's tangent followed his rebuke of Rafael Cruz using the pulpit to court evangelicals for his son. "I implore, I exhort every member of the body of Christ to vote according to the word of God and vote for the candidate that stands on the word of God and on the Constitution of the United States of America," Rafael Cruz said in a video clip aired by Fox News. "And I am convinced that man is my son, Ted Cruz. The alternative could be the destruction of America."

On the morning of the latest most important primary in the Republican nominating process, one candidate's father says he is marked by God to save the nation from eschatological destruction.

His opponent replies that the candidate's father spent the spring of 1963 hanging out with Lee Harvey Oswald and complains, with apparent seriousness, that "nobody" is bringing this up. The source for the charge is a story in the National Enquirer.

This is where the Republican party stands on the day in which it likely will decide its presidential nominee, and nobody can stop it, and the whole party now resides in a pup tent pitched on a small knoll in Dealey Plaza.
