Pinch yourself, hard.
The unthinkable, the unimaginable, the impossible is happening.
People are actually feeling empathy for Ted Cruz.
What does this say about our beloved America? Into what kind of weird cosmic rat-hole have we let ourselves be dragged?
One of the coldest, most despised figures in the Senate, Cruz is endeavoring to appear human. The same snide jerk who led the costly, unpopular Republican shutdown of the government is now warming hearts for the way he rushed to the defense of his wife, Heidi.
For this Frankenstein turn of events we can thank Donald Trump.
In case you hadn't heard, the spouses of the two GOP presidential front-runners were the hot topic in the race last week. Second were the terrorist attacks in Brussels.
The wife feud ignited when an anti-Trump super PAC republished a naked photo of Melania Trump, a former model.
Before you stop reading and go Google the picture, you should know that the anti-Trump super Pac is called Make America Awesome Again. It is run either by hapless idiots, or evil geniuses....

No dearie
youre either short on history or youre short on the mormon religion ...
The Mormon males probably think Cruz one of them, and a hero...
and Beck sure hasn’t denounced Cruz for the sleaze ball he is...
hows that leading the mormons through the time of the rapture after the Christians have all gone working out for Cruz ???
I thought I was at FR, not Bible study.
Who even uses the word copulate?
Intellectual nerds do. Cruz regularly reminds me of the guys in my high school computer club who were also on the debate team; he's a total nerd.
I like nerds, but when they lose their temper they say stupid stuff, and IMHO Cruz has crossed that line. Doubt it's done him much damage yet, but it will if he keeps it up (or pretend keeps it up once he settles down, should his advisers tell him he needs to talk tough or something).
I’m glad the writer didn’t let his biases get in the way of his straight-down-the-middle, objective view of Sen. Cruz.
Otherwise I would have worried about media bias.
BARF/////
It is what it is. The others have fallen by the wayside.
LOL, no, 2nd. Most of the people I know respect Trump for standing up for his wife. And for being a fighter.
BtW, anyone who believes Cruz did not at least know about the pic of Trump’s wife being posted by that PAC in ultra-conservative Utah is a brain damaged moron.
agreed and for anyone trying to twist this because of their own stubborn acts and refusing to acknowledge they have made a mistake only tells me why this country is such a mess.
don’t worry, the Mormons don’t believe in the Christian Bible...
they have their own religious book called the book of Mormon...
It is a felony to communicate with a PAC, IIRC.
I really like Hiassen’s novels, but when I read a collection of his newspaper columns, I realized that he’s a flaming liberal.
Yeah, like that matters to the political class. Us little people have to worry about laws. Demscum, GOPe types, Clintons, etc.? Not so much.
this whole republican primary has become a classless joke.
very bad.
if trump gets the nod, he loses.
if Ted gets the nod, trump runs independent and both lose.
Trump isn’t going to run third party. He doesn’t have that kind of liquid cash.
I am in no way defending that incoherent and frankly crazy sounding word salad
or with that rat, that rat, that rat, that rat, that rat...
Will you people stop defending Trump by posting FACTS about Cruz and the superpac! /s
Agree. His books are great, his Miami Herald articles suck.
If this scandal is true, his campaign theme will be busTED.
