Breaking pledges is nothing new for Ted Cruz.
Think about the timing. I heard it was the scuttle on radio ten days ago!
Melania’s photo was a way to diffuse this much larger problem.
Cruz’s sex scandal allegations have been whispered since at least February. They became publicly discussed and broadcast as early as March 15. Although Ted had a cushy predicted win in Utah, they knew the tabloids were working the scandal story for a quick release.
Someone assisting team~Cruz launched a preemptive strike. They decided that the eve of the Utah election would be the ripe time for hitting Trump’s wife. They uploaded a racy model GQ photo shoot pic of her from 16 years ago. Then they added their campaign message and sent it to their likely voters.
While it was designed to soften the blow for Ted’s alleged sex scandal stories, he likely did hook thousands of additional Mormon voters. IMO, The initial operation seemed a ‘two-fer’ for team~Cruz. TeamCruzer-loser scoured the globe to find that photo, they are responsible.
Then when DJT responds with a warning, he is attacked by Ted. Such a sanctimonious sniveling loser of a candidate who is forced to hijack delegates he fails to earn for himself.
As is being twice divorced, and filing for bankruptcy four times.
