Notice how you attempt to frame the premise, as if "as soon as it came out"

Notice that you focus, like your lawyer candidate, on the phrase "as soon as it came out," so you can distract from the fact that he never denounced the ad at all like he claimed. You then write, "he... disavow[ed] any connection with it," which, you, being Mr. Lawyer Apprentice, would understand is different from denouncing the ad itself.

but I very much doubt this fits your criteria of "denounce", given your attitude that I can see so far.

What an idiot you are to write this considering what you just wrote to me.

You are the one who put that in there. How was I to know you didn't mean it?

No, just if you are being a prick about it. Cruz said he didn't have anything to do with it, and that the ad was "completely inappropriate." Perhaps if Trump hadn't immediately tweeted a picture comparing his wife to an unflattering picture of Cruz's wife, Cruz may have gone farther and condemned the ad in stronger terms.

At this point I think neither man is interested in being civil to the other.

So.....how do YOU define "denounce"?

REPORTER: There's an ad featuring Melania Trump, by a PAC, is that gutter politics to you?

CRUZ: Look, that ad was completely inappropriate, and we had nothing to do with it. It's a separate group, it wasn't our campaign, it wasn't even a SuperPAC affiliated with us in any way, it's a totally separate group. I don't know the person who did it, I've never spoken with them, I have no involvement with them, whatsoever....and, Donald knows that. He just used it as an excuse, to try and attack my wife, Heidi. And that is.....that speaks volumes....."
