He’s going to run in the next primary and this is his first shot at the current frontrunner. Nothing more, nothing less. Politics is hardball. Cruz can take the punch.
What a straw argument. No one said Cruz couldn't take it. No one said it wasn't about politics, so all you've done is establish the obvious. What you fail to understand, and many consultants and candidates fail to understand also, is that this is not about destroying each other to "get to the finals." This NEVER EVER EVER works. This is not the NFL play offs or March Madness.
The way to win is to put points on the board against the enemy NOW....better than other people on our team...NOT put points on the board against each other. Very very close minded thinking....
