But, you all thought Trump attacking the media was smart.

Maybe, this is Cruz learning from Trump?

If this is Ted learning, he flunked the class. You attack the MSM. You don’t attack a news site with 40 million hits a day and is owned by a guy who can wake up in the morning and decide to “kill shot” you, just because !!!

Painting with a broad brush is a weak argument. I’ve never said that Trump attacking the media was smart.

Cruz has most of the media right now (until the general when they’ll turn against him and destroy him to prop up Hillary.) He has very few media outlets against him. He chooses not be happy with what he has, but to attack the few he doesn’t (Bill O’Reilly and now Drudge.) It makes him look egotistical, petty and thin-skinned.

One of the selling points of the Cruz campaign was that, temperamentally, he was not like Trump. That’s now been blown out of the water.

The more Cruz acts like Trump by attacking the media, the more he undermines one of his prime selling points with the electorate. On many levels, this move against Drudge was weapons-grade stupid.
