“For so long, Cruz believes and has been told and convinced others he is so smart. If he had half a brain, he should have been able to see this would be the reaction. Other than blind ambition, how could he not realize that that moment, especially, was the worst time to pull that stunt and would cost him his base? It was stunning to see that level of stupidity so blatant.
It was also beautiful to see Trump let him do it so spectacularly.”
There are some people who are very “book smart”. They earn top grades in school & attend top colleges. But, on the other hand, when it comes to common sense & self-awareness, they are complete idiots.
I strongly suspect that Cruz falls into this category.
What Cruz did was foolhardy. He is just as delusional as Hildy and OBooBoo.
