The point is not that the picture was published. The point is that Cruz attempted to use Melania Trump as a target of shame and derision. What he was saying was, "This woman is a slut, and if you don't want her husband to be in the White House, you had better vote for me."
Your position is that Melania should not have posed for a picture for which she would later be ashamed isn't even part of the issue.
You see, when you Cruzers get all self-righteous and holier-than-thou, all you do is piss a lot of people off. I mean, your boy is a hypocrite and a liar, his wife is a Goldman-Sachs campaign funnel, and he's being backed by the GOP establishment while running as an "outsider."
Why should we believe that Cruz is who he says he is?
There is no, none, nada, zippo evidence establishing that Cruz had a damn thing to do with putting the picture of Trumps wife on an ad. Why do you guys persist in that lie?
You need to re-evaluate why that isn't important to you.
