It was not necessary. Cruz approves of waterboarding clearly said it is enhanced torture.
He disapproves of torture. Yet DT was stretching truth again pretending Cruz was against waterboarding.
Oh, yes, Maggie Haberman would NEVER want any political figure to be “divisive” or to “split voters”.
What they mean when they say this is not that candidates should behave, it’s that VOTERS and SUBJECTS (oops, sorry - I meant CITIZENS) should behave.
NY Slimes. Enough already. Tedious

Vice President Joe Biden
2010: Known for his blunt talk, Vice President Joe Biden was heard telling Obama “this is a big f——— deal” during the March 23, 2010, signing of the health care reform bill. While he was whispering into the president’s ear, the profanity was picked up by nearby microphones.
Vice President Dick Cheney
2004: Tensions are nothing new on the Senate floor. But an incident between Vice President Dick Cheney and a Democratic senator took it to another level.
Cheney told Sen. Patrick Leahy on June 24, 2004, to “go f-— yourself” when the Vermont Democrat blasted Halliburton’s role in Iraq.
Sen. John Kerry
“I voted for what I thought was best for the country. ... Did I expect George Bush to f-— it up as badly as he did? I don’t think anybody did,” Kerry said, referring to his vote allowing the U.S. to use military force in Iraq.
Kerry also made news during the campaign when he reportedly called his Secret Service agent a “son of a bitch.”
George W. Bush
2000: Then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush, running in the 2000 presidential race, was caught on a live microphone tearing into New York Times reporter Adam Clymer. At a Labor Day 2000 rally in Naperville, Illinois, Bush called him a “major-league a—hole.”
President Harry S. Truman
I didn’t fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was, but that’s not against the law for generals. If it was, half to three-quarters of them would be in jail.”
Sen. John McCain
2007: McCain’s temper is nothing new to those who know the Arizona senator.
And that anger especially came out in a May 17, 2007, meeting on immigration, according to The Washington Post.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, was none too happy when McCain showed up late, saying, “wait a second here. I’ve been sitting in here for all of these negotiations, and you just parachute in here on the last day. You’re out of line.”
McCain shot back, “F-— you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room.”
President Lyndon B. Johnson
1965: In a discussion about Cyprus in 1965, Johnson reportedly told Greek Ambassador Alexandros Matsas, “f-— your parliament and your constitution.”
