Presidential race 2016

Jumping the Shark

So, Cruz is now in second place behind Trump in the race for the Republican nod.

And, yep..........Trump is recycling his Obama birther strategy, only much more passive-aggressively towards Cruz.

Trump says he just likes Cruz so much, and just doesn't know whether Cruz is actually legally qualified to be President, and so he just advises Cruz to go to court right away and get legal verification because, you know, Donald doesn't wanna win the GOP nomination on a technicality.

As much as Ted Cruz rubs me wrong most of the time, the man is very smart and savvy. He's been avoiding confrontation and humoring Trump all along (in my opinion), staying on friendly terms so he can scoop up Trump's followers easily if/when Trump falls out. And, unlike several other candidates, Cruz has stuck to his game plan despite wild card Trump continually changing the game parameters.

But, this time, Cruz had to respond and demonstrate that he's not an idiot pawn in Trump's game. Cruz's response to Trump telling everyone to doubt his American citizenship and qualifications for presidency: a tweet of this (American pop culture reference) video:


Pretty smart on a few levels, right? I thought so.

And then.............Ted blamed the media for the whole soft-slap confrontation and I was reminded that the oily snake is so full of shit, AND quite possibly a CANADIAN, eh!
