Rafael E. Cruz used his children for a political ad. Did he do that hoping they would be attacked so he could score political points?
For sure, the most disgusting pandering is Carly Fiorina. Talking about the perils of marijuana as a gateway drug, she said:
“I very much hope that I am the only person on this stage who can say this. I know there are millions of Americans out there who will say the same thing: My husband, Frank, and I buried a child to drug addiction.”
Only very slightly misleading. The "child" was a step child who was raised by her mother NOT Carly. She was 35 when she died and Lori Ann Fiorina died from alcoholism and abuse of prescription drugs, not pot. And we all know pot is hardly a "gateway drug" to booze and pills.
And, since Carly reportedly broke up the Fiorina's marriage, I suspect her "child" wasn't particularly fond of her. In fact, perhaps Carly's actions contributed to Lori Ann's death? Who knows?
So, should children be used for campaigns? I think if the "child" is of age and wants to, why not? But if they are under age or dead, they should be kept out of the limelight.
