Cruz spends money to prayerfully repair the hole he just blew in his own foot. OUCH.

He didn't shoot a hole in his foot nationwide. The media is NY-centric so of course they went bonkers. Here in Georgia, we don't identify with NY values, and I doubt they care much for them in Virginia, Missouri, Wisconsin or even Illinois (all places where I've lived). In CT (where I grew up) it is a 50-50 split, largely dependent on family, baseball loyalty, and county.

The money being spent is most likely by a Cruz PAC, not Cruz' own campaign. They may also be national ads which get the whole country, including NY/NJ.

Cruz can read a a calendar, and the NY primary isn't up for some time. Right now, Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, and the SEC states are what's going to shape this election.

Yes, I agree with you. This is a PAC, probably right out of Wall Street, as probably no one else would care, is my thinking.

I believe the media is beginning to coalesce around calling this race.

We’ve seen this happen before and been flummoxed that they could do such a thing before a single vote, but I acutely recall how it worked in 2008, in the Obama-Clinton battle.

I remember half the world wanting her out of the race in FEBRUARY(!), and could not understand why she was even staying in, only to flail around for votes and embarrass herself, in South Carolina.

The media wanted her out. She was down to begging super delegates to back her as the only way to stem the tide.

This is going to happen to Cruz, beginning soon. And, Cruz is just no Hillary. He is not a “legend”. imho.

Thanks, Dr.
