Here is why this is stupid and troubling for both Cruz and Trump.
The super pac for Cruz posts this meme basically implying Trump's wife is a slut and someone we should be ashamed of having in the white house. Cruz, of course, says he has nothing to do with this, but I'm not foolish enough to believe that. If he didn't have anything to do with it he should be embarrassed that something associated with him is doing this kind of thing and he should denounce it. Trump threatens to release some secret about Cruz's wife which is more childish than anything. If he has something that is damning, he should release it, not threaten to. Then today he retweets a pic comparing Trump's and Cruz's wives that basically calls Cruz's wife ugly. That is just in bad taste. So we want someone that behaves like this representing our country? If some country's leader disagrees with Trump is he going to start making fun of their spouse or their kids?
This is my main problem with Trump. He can't just turn the other cheek. If someone strikes at him he hits back in brutal fashion. Sometimes it is funny and sometimes it is not. Is he going to do this from the White House? As president he will take non-stop criticism. If he going to burn all his energy striking back against his enemies or will he actually try to lead the country, often by example?
