And that's a fantastic tack if you are equipped. Cruz ain't. We've seen Cruz's tough guy schtick in the last debate and Trump let the air out of his wind bag diatribe with a single zinger.

TRUMP

Also, Jeb Bush tried the old “Trump is mean to old ladies” bit and it went over like a lead balloon. I can just imagine the high-pitched whine of Cruz when he goes there. Everyone will be hitting the mute button.

The problem for Cruz voters is that Trump is debate proof. He’s not the greatest debater and it makes no difference to voters. (Although he sometimes DOES get off a great zinger, I agree!)
