No, he likely would not have. You, however, then extrapolated that Cruz would respond to our enemies with cartoons. That is what I was responding to.
Well, OK, you have me there, Cruz wouldn’t use cartoons.
But, by way of example, remember when Trump had that little Mexican guy removed from his press conference?
That’s how you send a message.
Notice he behaved himself after that, and notice that no one else has had to be escorted out?
Cruz had a run in with the press sometime back, can’t remember exactly when, but he had the same limp wristed response to the press then, inviting another attack.
This time they were braver and they went after his daughters.
And I’m predicting this limp wristed response with the cartoon is simply inviting another media attack on him in the furture.
