Is this a game, or vote changer for you? Were you very surprised? Because I was.
I already voted, so that doesn’t change. But it changes the way I see him. It was a cheap shot. For a guy trying to woo Trump voters, the ones being attacked, it was really tone deaf.
Trump has certainly said and done things that rubbed me the wrong way, and we overlook them because of other qualities we see in him. We should of course give Cruz the same benefit of the doubt.
But until now Cruz has been clearly the better man in my eye. After today he has come down a couple of notches. No politician is ever perfect, of course, but I was certainly holding Cruz to a higher standard than the one I hold others to. Cruz disappoints me because I expected better.
