Wow. Too bad you are not Ted Cruz. That is a brilliant overview and actually a decent explanation of what happened and actually shows some apology. However, you are a decent person so of course you would do something like this. Ted Cruz would never do anything near this. He will probably just dodge tonight and continue to laugh at the absurdity of it that he belives....he is so dumb to let this go on like this. His quest to be right on this subject that should have been a 5 minute clip at most is the problem. Well see tonight. I imagine the other thing with Cruz is that he was going to lose NH anyway so he probably just wants to run out the clock and thinks that SC won’t care about this issue which is 2 weeks after NH. He may be right but I still think it is an arrogant place to be.
My feeling is if he would just read from my script (I suffer from no illusions about the likelihood of this happening), he would immediately increase his support quite a bit—maybe even turn the whole campaign into some sort of victory lap to the general. It would show integrity (currently missing in Washington), honesty (uh...currently missing in America), humility (currently no longer spoken/known by 90% of the planet) - all the things that would make for the leader we all want. It is my view that none of the candidates brings these to the table in sufficient measure. This is, more likely, evidence of the overall human condition than it is of any one candidate’s deficiencies. So, we wrestle and fight among ourselves to see how we can create the impression that suggests “my” guy has more of these than “your” guy.
Cruz (and I’m a Cruz supporter) has to do some wrestling tonight.
