MailerGate didn’t help.
Cruz should have stayed drafting on Trump longer. He got out of his wake too early.
Mailer got me mad, too, but there are too many other issues at stake for me. Life and the constitution.
My assessment is that Cruz made several mistakes:
1) He allowed the media to goad him into attacking Trump.
2) He didn’t pull out of the Fox Ambush (Debate) and join Trump at the Veteran’s Event.
3) MailerGate was an unforced error that placed him squarely in the perceived DC Uni-Party bucket.
4) Desperation and the Smell of Fear in his accusations.
It is too bad. He showed some real potential, but he needs seasoning.
Getting stuck in the mud didn't either...a metaphor for the Cruz campaign generally.
Wrong.
