Just on Rush, he took a call from Trump supporter/Tea-Party member who doesn't think Cruz has what it takes to win the general, and he's supporting Trump no matter what. Rush asks the caller if Trump's attacks on Cruz are 'red flags', the caller tells Rush that he doesn't care if Trump isn't perfect, he thinks Trump can win/save America, and that Cruz is soft and looks like Mr. Rogers.

Rush cuts to a spot break.

There's a fairly amusing recurring blog on the Washington Post about who had the worst week in politics, and recently Hillary and Jeb! got the distinction of having the Worst Year.

It is this. Cruz and his supporters pillory the media, as absurdists out to split the Republican field as they did in 2012. Cruz is smarter than braindead MSNBC!!

If Republicans can get away in 2012 with being utterly surprised, and shock millions of their Fox Bubble Base with an Obama win; Cruz and the base can pretend, what Trump is saying is being blown out of proportion, or outright lying about what he has said.

Cruz has been running with the messaging that the media trying to get him and Trump to fight is a trap designed to destroy them both. The question itself is the trap?

The cartoon is pretty basic, Cruz campaign is trying to say that the media trying to promote conflict between the Trump and Cruz camps is "A TRAP!" that good Republican voters should ignore and go on thinking everything's peachy.

(when of course the real trap is being laid by Cruz and his talk radio stooges for Trump)

Whereas this is the actual explanation of the cartoon, based on looking up the cartoonists past opinions of Trump/the GOP. Which makes sense, since Ted Cruz has conditioned himself to filter out all criticisms and information which contradict his worldview.

The cartoon is obviously anti-Cruz and I'm 99% sure it's just a dumb intern messing up. But keep in mind too that his response to someone calling him a "maniac" was to embrace the title. I don't think Cruz wants to be thought of as "level-headed."

I thought the question was how one of his idiots was stupid enough to tweet it, and what was the interpretation they intended by doing so.
