My memory is that there were no conditions specified when Cruz agreed to support whomever the party ultimately nominated.

Further, my memory is that Cruz said nothing about withholding support after Trump launched on Cruz’ wife and father.

Ironically, on the subject of wives, if I recall correctly it was Cruz who first threw shade at Melania which, of course, guaranteed a response from The Donald.

So—Yeah, I’m with Miss Ann on this one.

Trump is a counter puncher. He warned Cruz not to attack, but Ted did it anyway. The skirmish started with the “NY values” attack.

Leave it to Cruz the Lawyer to make up his own loophole to get out of endorsing the Republican party nominee going up against Hillary.

Of course Cruz didn’t say anything about Melania himself. It was a PAC, which supposedly has no communication with the candidate.

That Soros-McCain-Feingold type of garbage begs the question: how can a candidate be sure that a PAC will campaign for him/her and not go completely off the rails, without some sort of collusion? Simple. There is collusion, and the PACs say what the candidates want them to say even if they don’t have the “I’m Candidate X and I approved this message” line in their ads.

How does Ted get away with acting as if he didn’t antagonize when he went after Melania? Donald should have avoided that, but that’s not so innocent of Ted.
