[Vision Thing]

What Cruz did was a rookie error in what will be a national campaign.

He forgot he was not running in Texas only this time. He had a national audience.

I think Ted's head wasn't lost in Texas when he said this, but he was playing for Iowa in a desperate move to stop his losses there.

He is going all in on Iowa because it is his obi wan kenobi, his only hope.

So he had to sacrifice the national audience to get the micro audience of Iowa conservatives.

I think that is correct.

I take back my charge of *rookie mistake*

This is more of a Hail Mary pass, and if it connects, and Cruz wins Iowa, it will have been a good move.
