I believe in the pundit biz that is what is known as a "humanizing" moments. And presumably not manufactured in thus case unless this business has extrapolated. But I can't believe this is the GOP's eleventh hour choice to elbow out Trump. It may well work, but the cost may prove more severe down the line. All the fuck the had to do was push the taxes issue early, but I guess nobody took it seriously until relatively recently. I honestly thought tjis was publicity for a forthcoming reality show and he was going to drliberately self destruct before now. Trump, I mean. I doubt Cruz is he even conscious of hos own motives.
