Was this a good idea?
Well it was a bit risky, and so far, Cruz' campaign has been anything but risky. Time will tell whether it was or not, but it's a fair question. The brilliance in what Cruz said specifically is that DT can't really dispute the main thesis...which is that the biggest divide in the nation today is that between Washington and the rest of the country....and that Cruz has the best record of standing up to that.
He has to become more aggressive. He's getting crushed.
No, of course it wasn't. Cruz, who is running for president, should have said he's only in it for laughs because he knows Trump will be the nominee.
