Sure he’s patched things up with Ivana over the years, but that doesn’t change the fact that he broke his wedding vows twice...cheating on Ivana and choosing to divorce Marla. That goes to the issue of trust.
I think Cruz supporters are plenty smart about the choice they’re making. Trump supporters seem driven by anger more than anything else. That’s causing them to make an irrational decision in my opinion, a decision that feels good now but is likely to have bad consequences.
Facts beat rumors every time. If they keep attacking Cruz with more false rumors he’ll keep getting more landslide victories because the public finds that kind of dirty, dishonest politics disgusting.
