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....
It works. Romney destroyed Gingrich in Iowa and Florida and it worked. Obama destroyed Romney in the general and it worked. Negative politics works. Cruz is being just as negative on the GOP establishment as others are being on him. I’m with Cruz and he’s my nominee. But the idea that opponents who see things very differently won’t or can’t criticize each other doesn’t make any sense. That’s not the real world. My only point with Santorum is that I’m not even sure he agrees with he’s saying, he’s just trying to draw a distinction with Cruz. If that’s obvious, so be it. I didn’t say I agreed with Santorum either.
