This is flagrantly dishonest. Ted Cruz will do the same and he doesn't have baggage from his days on the left to explain. That's because he was never on the left. Cruz doesn't get the attention because it is all focused on Trump.....for now.
And, that’s exactly why Trump is effective. He’s been on the other side and knows how they operate. This is what the GOPe and even conservatives don’t understand - they can’t win against the rats with their same old, tired methods. They need to use the left’s tactics on them, but, fail to see that. Yes, even Cruz is kind of blind to that fact.
