Really? We supported Cruz unanimously and enthusiastically when that political cartoon criticizing using his girls in a campaign ad appeared. But a lot of us thought Cruz was right at the line that children should keep their privacy in campaigns. FWIW, Rubio and Trump have not used minor children in such a way. Trump's older children are adults and working on the campaign, so it's a different situation.
And after the "shaming" scandal, Cruz is still putting his kids in something that refers to the campaign? He is tone deaf to our concerns.
You know, it's not even that the kids are mentioned in the tweet or he posted a photo of them. The children are adorable; he is certainly a proud father, and I do't blame him.
But "They said they were running to caucus" Seriously? Really?
I don't know, maybe it's a pitch to the Church Lady voting bloc.
It is, as you say, tone deaf. So many missed opportunities. So many flubs. Poor choices when he could have seized momentum.
If he survives Iowa, the first thing he should do is fire his campaign manager and senior staff. He might sneak through Iowa, but this approach isn't going to do him good in the long run.
