* Trump’s reaction isn’t part of any strategy. It’s an alpha male gut reflex with the intention of smacking Cruz right back down into beta malehood. Trump is saying, ‘I have the supermodel wife and you don’t because I’m the higher quality male.’
* The thing about Cruz’ dear little wife, guys, is, she isn’t a dear little wife. She’s a traitorous architect of the North American Union. I’m stunned that anyone here who’s not an open borders cuck would be doing anything but cheering to see someone tear her a new one.
* As for Trump, he is right that Cruz’s wife is … problematic. As a big time Goldman Sachs VP she was Hillary! right down to the cattle futures to Cruz’s Bill Clinton. In other words, the very model of the modern power couple corruption. See Andrea Mitchell and Alan “Animal Spirits” Greenspan, or Julie Chen and Les Moonves, etc. The problem with power couples is that it makes graft and corruption so easy. No need to buy the Senator. Just buy his wife.
Melania Trump being mere arm candy and a trophy wife is a better deal for the American Aristocracy. Less covert, back-door corruption. It it is done, it will be done out in the open. Not by bribing the wife (see Michelle Obama as University of Chicago’s Medical Center “advisor” at $300K a year while Obama was a Senator — position abolished when he became President and she moved to DC).
As for the measure of each man, well men are judged by men and women alike on the quality of the woman they marry. Melania Trump is real life supermodel, so Trump has achieved Tom Brady levels of Alphadom. Cruz’s wife is … a Goldman Sachs VP and looks it. A junior Hillary. Which does not reflect well on the Alphadom of Cruz.
Plenty of supremely ugly men do very well with women: Rick Ocasek, Steven Tyler, Mick Jagger, and Tom Petty all come to mind. Fame, charisma, charm, and sheer talent that has people worshiping an ugly man on stage can do the trick nicely. Ted Cruz is none of that, and yes that matters. To both men and women who judge a man by the quality of the woman to whom he is married.
