“You haven’t admitted Trump’s weakness. Posting this only proves your desperation.”
You haven’t admitted Team Ted’s dirty lying politics on a caucus night. Not admitting it when even Ted apologized for it only proves your desperation.
Just because you call it that doesn’t make it true. Was it necessary for them (CNN or Cruz) to run with the story, probably not but that doesn’t mean it’s dirt politics. What do you think the motive of CNN was? What is the motive for Trump to bash anyone who he chooses? The obvious answer is to make the others look bad. For CNN it is to show support for Hillary, for Trump it is to get votes.
