Put yourself in his shoes. First primary in Iowa is approaching fast, just a dozen weeks away. You are polling 5-6%. Trump is polling CONTINUOUSLY between 22-32%. If you really want the nomination, can you stay silent much longer?
OK, desperation is a bit strong word, but what do you call it when time is getting short to take action?
I have to agree Cruz played this badly.
The response should be “look I am not going to play this game of yours. I am here to talk about my ideas and qualification, not create some fake drama for you to exploit by trash talking any of the other candidates.”

But who is that message going to appeal to??? You think that will bump him up in the Iowa polls???
The only way Cruz is going to get a one-up on Trump is to try to force him out...It's going to get ugly between Cruz and Trump...
