Susan Wright of Red State said it right...
Trump attacked Cruz for a public nude photo of Melania as a model in GQ posted by a Cruz supporter. CRUZ VEHEMENTLY DENIED HE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.
Did Trump check ? Nope. What was his response.
He attacked Heidi Cruz’s looks (not everybody can wear plastic and Bond-o like Melania), spread vicious rumors to the tabloids about multiple affairs Cruz had supposedly had, and spewed conspiracy theories about Cruz’s dad.
Trump didn’t just go dirty politics. He went dirty. Period. Because he’s incapable of debating policy and record, he did the only thing an adulterous reality TV joke can do, and he tried to ruin Cruz’s family!
HIS FAMILY !!
And then to add insult to injury, when Cruz refused to give up the fight and was winning delegates in states Trump did not even bother to contest, Trump refers to a National Enquirer story ( since shelved ) insinuating that his father was complicit in the assassination of President Kennedy !!
Way more important than any public office, and Trump meddled in the sanctity of Cruz’s home by trying to cause hurt and heartache. Were I his wife, and he simply caved to a man of such low character as Trump, there would be hell to pay.
His duty as a husband, father, and son should always take precedence over his “job.”
Senator Cruz owed Donald Trump less than nothing. He was invited to speak because Trump hoped to snag the conservatives that have been hesitant to take a blood oath of loyalty to the Cheeto-devil.
The senator’s words were powerful and gracious, giving an air of sophisticated patriotism to what was otherwise a thin veneer of gaudy revelry, covering a deep swell of corruption, intimidation, and gestapo tactics.
For whatever the senator’s ulterior motives may have been – and there are those who insist he’s already setting up his 2020 run – he was right.
He didn’t insult Trump. He didn’t take anything away from Trump, but he spoke the words that true patriots needed to hear and embrace.
That Trump’s cult believe anything less than bowing as a conquered warrior before the new king is more important than speaking about conscience and principle says a lot about how far they’ve sank.
