The Republican campaign has now gone beyond penis comparison and is now in the wife comparison stage. I leave it to better minds than mine to determine if the debate is now less elevated or more elevated (if the word “elevated” can legitimately be applied). Whatever the level may be, we are still firmly in middle school/prep school milieu. In other words, we’re in Trump’s wheelhouse, because he’s never matured beyond that stage.
A recap is in order.
A Cruz affiliated PAC ran an ad in Utah featuring nude pictures of Trump’s wife, questioning whether she was the sort of First Lady the good Mormons of Utah would want in that exalted position. Cruz pleaded innocent, claiming that he had no control over his PAC, but the history of this campaign has pretty well proven that dodge to no longer provide remotely plausible deniability. Trump responded with a tweet, pointing out that his wife was far hotter than Cruz’s wife, proving, according to his lights, that his wife was a better woman than Cruz’s wife, hotness being, after all, the sixth grade standard. Trump proved his point with dueling pictures. Cruz responded by telling Trump to “leave my wife the hell alone”.
As a former sixth grader I award the laurels to Trump. His response is obvious, inevitable, and unanswerable:
>“He started it!”
