I didn't think it possible to have soft feelings toward Ted Cruz. But it has happened in just the last few minutes.
Donald Trump is accusing Cruz' father of having JFK assassinated. He says he is shocked that a photo showing Rafael Cruz standing next to Lee Harvey Oswald two weeks before Oswald shot the president is not front-page news. That statement is cunning and calculated and cruel and cowardly.
Cunning in its deceit. Trump is exceptionally skillful in this area of achieving one's ends through unscrupulous means.
Calculated in its delivery. FOX News obligingly allowed Trump to call in by phone to its morning show to drop the bomb without challenge. Smart move.
Cruel to the Cruz family in its disregard for anything resembling the truth.
Mostly, that statement is cowardly coming from a grown man who lacks the conviction to stand and defend the statement. Instead he uses FOX News to be his defender and then victoriously stands back to watch Cruz squirm as the story grows legs.
My hope, and for sure I am hopeful, is that Trump will get his in the general election. I'm not talking about karma. I'm talking about Hillary.
