That's what you think.

Excellent point.

Cruz Ad Slut-Shames Trump’s Wife
Apparently Teddy boy can dish it out, but he can't take it.

Quote:
Ted Cruz called Donald Trump a "sniveling coward" and told him to leave his wife "the hell alone" on Thursday after Trump retweeted an unflattering photo of his spouse, Heidi Cruz.

After seeing The Donald's tweet I'm actually feeling a tiny bit sorry for the Texas Turd. Heidi strikes me as an first class ass chewer.

Well what did he expect?

His campaign took a cheap shot at Trump's wife and now he's outraged because Trump hit back in kind?

There's a song about wives like Heidi and it's refrain goes something like this:

How can I kiss the lips at night that chew my ass out all day long. (May even be the song's title.)

Technically it was not Cruz's campaign that was behind the Melania 1st Lady ad, it was by an anti-Trump PAC by the name Make America Awesome. I am sure that the Cruz campaign knew and welcomed this ad, especially for his victory in Utah.

Yeah, I saw that excuse on his part.

It's too little, too late.

And I believe as you do, that Cruz knew about the ad and welcomed it.

The right thing to do would have been for him to immediately condemn the ad, get on the phone to that Super Pac and tell them he wanted it taken down immediately, and then get on the phone to Trump and apologize to both him and his wife. But he did none of that as far as I know.
