My sense is that Mr Trump has made some weak decisions lately. I like the man, but he needs to learn the difference between petty and serious attacks. Some would say that an attack on his wife is serious because it’s a challenge. That is belied by the nature of the attack. If an attacker comes at you with a nerf dart gun that’s a whole lot different than if attacked with a glock. The attack on Melania was with a nerf dart gun. The better treatment would have been laughing at the stupidity of posting a picture that was in the commercial public domain of an acknowledged world level model. He wasn’t winning Utah anyway.

Well, the polls say you are wrong. That Trump retweet led Cruz and the media to overreact and the Cruz campaign is pretty much destroyed.

Agreed. Time for the Donald to show he's Presidential and not just a street fighter. You wouldn't See Reagan getting in the gutter, he'd make a joke and shut the attacker up.

Trump (and Cruz) fall into the media trap set for them by the, well, media.

The media in a serious attempt to boost ratings for the last 2 years has encouraged the Republicans to campaign themselves into a frenzy and run themselves ragged so that Hilliary can move in for the kill.

It's weird that all the candidates have taken the bait and allowed themselves to be sucked into this scenario. The media encourages and enjoys reporting on the petty mudslinging.

If these guys are so smart why are they continuing to go along with the charade? At least at one point Trump said, “enough with the debates”.

Does anybody understand why the Republicans have fallen for this rouse.

The GQ picture was not in the public domain, it had to be purchased as it was copy written and it appears that it was, by Cruz’s campaign manager, and then given to the superPAC to use in the ad.

That is why Trump keeps saying that Cruz knew all about the use of the picture.
