I'm genuinely concerned about his chances after this debacle with Cruz's mistresses, too many people think he started all this and thought it was a low blow. I feel like hard proof of Cruz screwing around needs to come out for this to turn out good.

He did basically start it. It was a PAC attacked him and you have to have a thick enough skin to realize that PACs are going to say shit, and not lash out at the guy who is completely unrelated to the attack. It's like punching the guy next to you at the bar because you though you heard someone say something about your wife from across the bar.

That is a terrible analogy for several reasons, and if the PAC started it, then he didn't really start it now did he? And I'm not sure how you can say Cruz is unrelated to the initial attack when it's his own PAC that did it. If he really was unaware of a move which would naturally turn to blows given Trump's nature, then that would be hugely incompetent of him.
