If the real Ted Cruz would have said, "I need a bogel for the glotch" at every campaign stop and had a little humor, he might have gained more traction ...
There are a lot of idiotic things that get voters attention. Trump's "Lying Ted" line was hard to shake.
Reading Cruz's body language, he was cracking under pressure.
I guarantee you Trump's "Crooked Hillary" line that he's going to say over and over and over is going to drive HillDawg batty.
And keep in mind. Cruz was a master debater.
Heh. But seriously.
The "what to do with my hands" thing became a liability.
And elbows.
