I am not familiar with concern trolling. What is that? I need to brush up on my trolling categories. What is the type of trolling I do called?

You're more of a dry dropper guy. You cover the surface and troll the bottom.

I like the reference. I personally not a huge fan of droppers, they get tangled and take the elegance of the dry away, but I do like the reference.

If you're Sarah Palin's PR person, can you honestly allow her to do this? I know she makes a career out of making herself sound more and more stupid every passing week, but honestly... this can't be good for her. Can it???

Cruz says climate change is a hoax perpetrated by liberal democrats as an excuse to grow government. He must have a smarter PR person.

Fact-check: Ted Cruz's claims about climate change science

CRUZ: "If you're a big-government politician, if you want more power, climate change is the perfect pseudo-scientific theory ... because it can never, ever, ever be disproven."

THE FACTS: Far from being pseudo-science, climate change is the consensus view among real scientists.

"The climate is terribly complicated, but it is now remarkably well understood because so many people have made such great efforts at developing sensors and deploying sensors and making sense of what the sensors say," says Rush Holt, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world's largest general scientific society, and a former Democratic congressman. "It's not just a few fanciful models on a computer, there are real data now. This is a highly developed science."

CRUZ: "Thirty, 40 years ago a whole bunch of liberal politicians, a bunch of scientists, were advocating, they said we were facing global cooling. We're going to have another ice age. And their solution to this was massive government control of the economy, the energy sector and every aspect of our lives. But then the facts and science stood in the way. It turned out the Earth wasn't cooling."

THE FACTS: Actually, global warming was more of a concern than cooling back in that time. From 1965 to 1979, 44 peer-reviewed scientific studies found the world was warming, 20 found no trend and only seven found cooling, according to a review of literature published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society in 2008.

Ted Cruz is intimidating GOP delegates by threatening to lock them in the same room as him and make them look at his face and hear his voice.
