I didn’t love that Cruz comment either, but look what he did. “I certainly congratulate” - means oh yes, of course, I have to say I congratulate him -
And then Cruz went on to point out that he barely won after spending millions in the final weeks. It was daminng with faint praise.
yes. Point taken. Cruz is a politician and politicians do have to be smoother than many of us would be in such circumstances. Not all bad because we need Cruz to run for President and be smooth enough to pull in a lot of votes besides us cheerleaders.
