I am disturbed with what the staffer did, but I am just as disturbed that the man who says he will stand up to Iran, Putin and the amnesty lobby just took it. I am not a Trump supporter, but I can't imagine this is how he would have reacted (if he would ever have supported Kim Davis).
Cruz did get to meet with Kim Davis. Once Ted figured out what Huck was pulling, he probably figured a literal fight over the microphone was not good campaign optics. In fact, if someone wanted to set Ted up for an embarrassing moment, that would have been a good way to do it. Who knows? My dad always taught me, discretion is the better part of valor.
Peace,
