I'm sorry, you are having trouble with the underlying logic of my remarks.

1. Cruz does not directly control PACs, either those established in his name nor those like the PAC that is running his ads which was started to attack Trump but supports Cruz as a means to an end.

2. There are a myriad of ways politicians and PACs have found to get around the non coordination laws and they are doing so in this election cycle. How Super PACs And Campaigns Are Coordinating In 2016

3. Whether Cruz was directly responsible or not his name was associated with the ad "Or you could vote for Ted Cruz". If he does not agree with the tactic he needs to repudiate it. Silence is assent once you are part of the ad.

4. Trump punched his ticket by telling Cruz if you think this is OK (Silence is assent) then turn about is fair play. Suddenly Ted is talking about microagression.

Exactly. A microaggression. Like a flop in professional soccer.

“Trump punched his ticket by telling Cruz if you think this is OK (Silence is assent) then turn about is fair play.”

“Turn about is fair play.” I see, so even though you condemn the ad, you’d have no trouble having Ducking Donnie personally (not by a PAC) attack Cruz’s wife?

So, in other words, “an eye for any eye, a tooth for a tooth”?

You have no problem with dirty tactics, as long as it’s personally done by your guy?

I understand now.
