I’m astonished at how badly Cruz has handled this. Instead of coming out and counterattacking the National Enquirer, he came out and attacked Trump. In doing so, he basically doused himself with gasoline and handed a lit match to social media.
Now the sharks smell blood in the water, and Trump supporters from NYC to Kathmandu are sifting the internet for nasty nuggets about Cruz’s past, connecting the dots and dredging up all sorts of stuff that I’m sure Cruz would rather they not.
This guy has the worst political instincts ever.
Apparently, political success isn’t solely related to “debating skill” alone.
Or, he had no other choice.
