So, using your logic would it be fair to say that Trump smearing Lying Ted Cruz during the primary was a misdirection, only to be revisited and updated in 2018 because Republicans and Trump need "Republican" in the House and Senate?
If Ted Cruz was not good enough to run for the Presidency why would all these Cruz haters thing he is good enough to be a Senator?
Thats another topic dan you got lost somewhere along the line....
