Ah, there’s more. Some of us didn’t watch the debate, so were unaware of Cruz’s “New York values” comment. You’re probably referring to that, and miss m is probably missing the connection just like I did.
It wasn't just dropped in the debate. The subject had been in the air for at least two days. Now, I do not fault anyone for not knowing that.
And what seems to be lost in Cruz'a response is his mention of an interview that Tim Russert did with Trump regarding some previous Trump positions.
I took that as an indication of more to come about holding DT accountable.
