A very good boss of mine taught me years ago to always keep the business business and the personal personal.
Apparently Ted never learned that.
You would think that’s never more true than it is for politics.
Lemme make sure this is clear:
- Cruz surrogates in the superPAC post pics of a near-nude Melania model shoot as an attack on Cruz
- Trump responds with both barrels going after Heidi Cruz’ Goldman Sachs connections and Rafael Cruz’s links to JFK’s assassinations
- Cruz says that Trump going after his family “Abrogates his pledge” to support Trump as the nominee.
So in short, Cruz can dish it out (or have someone dish it out for him) but he can’t take it. I thought Millennials were still too young to run for President?
I just talked to 5 family members in Texas that were Cruz supporters, who now hate the SOB. He is toast!
On the other side, had Trump made this personal, he would never have given Cruz the chance to speak and would have been criticized for being so thin-skinned and petty. In fact, giving Cruz the rope he chose to use to hang himself with has diminished the number of people who still support him (or even like him) which means there are more potential Trump supporters today than yesterday.
So who’s the brilliant one now?
To be honest....Trump didn’t keep it to business, Trump attacked Ted’s father and wife. Very sad that he did that. Ted didn’t say Trump’s name, but he encouraged us to vote our principles and that ain’t Hillary. We need to drop this like we need to drop the Melania speech critiques. We can move on together without any more dumping on Cruz. It’s over and Trump is the nominee. Let’s move on and not fall into the media trap that will only bring us all down.
