First, Cruz feigned moral indignation - in spite of these less than ethical positions. He then threw out some serious false bravado when he called Donald Trump "a sniveling coward" during a press conference.

If Ted Cruz thinks that his attack on Donald Trump has taught him a lesson, he seriously needs to review the George Bernard Shaw aphorism, "Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it."

I could go on, but what's the point?

Sigh ...
