“It appeared scripted to me, too”
“Exactly !!”
It sure as hell is scripted by the Cruz camp.
This is what I think about the issue:
Cruz needed to reach the 50% mark in Utah. Jeff Roe dreams up the ad and gets Liz Mair to do the dirty work. He knows this will help with the Mormon vote in Utah, but he also knows it will bait Trump to fire back, giving Cruz the chance to be the good guy and defend his wife.
Helps with votes
TRy to make Trump seem small
Helps Cruz appear manly..notice I used the word “appear”
Grabs the news cycle
It’s a win-win at very little cost
