Yup.
Cruz has given it legitimacy by attention.
I said eailer, he loses either way.
He decided to lose via the slow method.
You remember the old LBJ quote....
Indeed, one of LBJ’s favorite jokes is about a popular Texas sheriff running for re-election. His opponents have been trying unsuccessfully to think of a good campaign issue to use against him. Finally one man suggests spreading “a rumor that he —— pigs.” Another protests, “You know he doesn’t do that.” “I know,” says the first man, “but let’s make the sonofabitch deny it.”
Poor Ted. He’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t deny this story.
His “denial” is curious. Saying the “smears” are false is like an afterthought:
Ted Cruz

I want to be crystal clear: these attacks are garbage. For Donald J. Trump to enlist his friends at the National Enquirer and his political henchmen to do his bidding shows you that there is no low Donald won’t go.
These smears are completely false, they’re offensive to Heidi and me, they’re offensive to our daughters, and they’re offensive to everyone Donald continues to personally attack.
Donald Trump’s consistently disgraceful behavior is beneath the office we are seeking and we are not going to follow.
