Are you kidding. Hillary will have a field day with Cruz's indiscretions, religious zealotry, repeated lying, and questionable citizenship status. He will be hit from so many sides, he won't know which way is up. And yes, the media will ignore her past. Cruz will be on the defense the day the convention ends. Epic fail.
Epic fail? That is a very clever phrase! Did you just make that up?
As for your political prognostications I put them in the third grade category. The object is to suppress the opposition turnout while ginning up your turnout. Because Trump followers have absorbed his New York smartass shtick droves of possible voters are being driven away and droves of urban dwellers are being driven to the polls. Good luck with that.
