I didn’t take your comment as derogatory. I have nothing against Cruz being insightful and considerate when discussing other same-party candidates. I’d likely have done the same. It doesn’t mean I bit the worm, either.
Nor I, yours. Just your response (which I agree with 100%) was on a different subject (the press setting the agenda in general) from what I was trying to convey in the first place (Cruz didn't pick the topic of Trump). Not that it mattered in the least, and maybe you got my gist in the first place, I figured it was worth the time to clarify what I meant in the first place.
