This is an epic fail on Cruz’ part. You can clarify what CRuz said but he is talking out of both sides of his mouth. This is no time for Wishy washy Establishment weasel talk. He thought he was going to be able to take advantage of this situation to use this against Trump. Bad idea. Bad reaction. Bad judgment. Cruz is done.
I guess this just goes along with never admitting wrong or not seeing the need to ask God for forgiveness.
I will readily admit that Cruz and especially his campaign have made mistakes.
