Cruz had to know the story was coming out. Why did he poke the bear with the Melania ad - was it for diversion? Did he think now is the time to get this over with so it could hopefully be “old news”?
The Cruzs seem to be the GOPe Clintons.
Well ... suppose this NE story is true (just suppose).
If Cruz somehow knew the story would break, then putting out the Melania ad first would make it look like the NE story was pure retaliation.
