You are not as smart as you think. It's virtually accepted by even the RINOs that Trump's Muslim moratorium was a masterstroke of political genius, forcing his opponents to side with Obama... even Cruz now, with his "judgment" question obviously a reference to Trump's Muslim Moratorium, or at least coming on the heels of it so closely that you can't help but expect that that is what Cruz has in mind.
You nailed it:
” ... his ‘judgment’ question obviously a reference to Trump’s Muslim Moratorium, or at least coming on the heels of it so closely that you can’t help but expect that that is what Cruz has in mind ... “
Right. Good judgment is a challenge for EVERYONE. If Cruz is willing to admit that, then this becomes a minor blip in his career. It will hurt him a little, but the claws on both sides can then retract.
I personally never expected the US people to ‘get it’ so well that they would support a temporary muslim immigration ban. So I never had the nerve to suggest it. It is understandable if Cruz is equally pleasantly surprised. Trump had the guts to say what few in talk radio ever did, let alone presidential candidates.
There should be little shame in such a thing.
I suspect that the debator in Cruz might nitpick Trump over minor specifics of the ban [which can easily be refined] in the effort to come out on top. That would be risky. He would sound like he is fundamentally opposed and doesn’t have the guts to say it.
You’re confusing Trump’s lack of political judgment with his vastly superior business and leadership judgment.
No doubt that Trump was the winner with his call to ban muslims. Even Ted has come around on that matter.
But the topic here - and the quote - centered on who’s finger should be on the button?
Ted wins that judgment call all day - every day.
