"SNIP..............

Cruz insisted that "every accusation" raised by Wallace was "incorrect."

"I appreciate your reading the Donald Trump attack file on that," the Texas senator quipped.

"Oh, come on, sir," the Fox News host interrupted. "Wait a minute, sir. You personally apologized to Ben Carson on a debate stage."

"Chris, don't interrupt me," Cruz ordered.

"You fired your communications director," Wallace continued.

"Chris, don't interrupt me," Cruz repeated.

"Don't say this in an oppo file on our part, sir," Wallace shot back.

"Chris, please don't interrupt me," Cruz tried again.

a fight I'd hope would end in a scoreless tie, with multiple career-ending injuries.

For a supposedly intelligent person, Cruz' bullshit is extremely transparent.

See, now Cruz can claim to his Tea Party supporters that the so-called conservative media are out to get him, so send him more money and vote for him.

It's been thoroughly entertaining. Just as his meltdown was reaching its apex, along comes Jeff Sessions endorsing Donald Trump.

I don't think we'll be hearing much from Cruz after Tuesday. I suspect he'll spend the remainder of his Senate term in quiet contemplation.

Trump started it, then Rubio decided to "go on the attack" and failed horribly with his "wet his pants" line. And now Cruz just copies what Trump did 3 months ago, attacking Fox News.

How crazy is this? The candidates are so batshit crazy they can't even use Fox News!, the most one-sided propoganda media outfit in US history.

And Sen. Sanders and Sec. Clinton keep trucking right along with discussions of real issues, with real solutions.

This is probably the 10th time I posted this exact sentence the last 2 weeks: the contrast could not be greater.
