I might be able to say something constructive, but I’m a bit hacked at you for what I see as unfairness.

I’m not surprised at his disappointment with Scalia and affirmative action. Trump has a bit of support from blacks, he’s had a recent meeting with some leaders of that community, and his public response here is a balancing act.

My opinion on affirmative action is that it was clearly necessary when first implemented and not so much now. The real issue now is family structure and its impact on support for education.

So far as Trump attacking Cruz over being a senate wackobird (McCain?), I think Trump is appealing to the supporters of Bush, Christie, et al, who will soon peel off due to the dismal performances of their candidates.
Trump wants them. He’s working to gain market share NOT by peeling off Cruz supporters, who aren’t affected by his reminding about Cruz aggressiveness in the Senate, but by taking the supporters of the other candidates who will leave them the longer their candidate maintains dismal numbers.
