I just re-watched the six minute interchange between Cruz and a Trump supporter on the eve of the Indiana primary. It’s rough. The champion debater walks in and gets pounded by a random guy like a human pinata.
Cruz tries his patronizing, deeply principled candidate voice and cadence, pregnant pauses and all, and is just made to look like quite the wide eyed fool.
Alinsky was right - ridicule is a potent weapon. Cruz just went into that battle of wits on the street completely unarmed. I’d almost feel sorry for Cruz. Almost.
Now one of my favorite political memories. Taken down by a group of funny working-class guys. It was great to see such an elitist taken down.
