By his own oblivious measure, this reality stands out: no one now knows whether Trump ever means what he says. Or ever did. No wonder 2/3’s of the country judge Trump untrustworthy and unfit, if not the greatest phony dreaming of the WH? The seeming jokester has managed to turn himself into prime object of ridicule.

Or a foolhardy buffoon hoisted on his own smug righteousness? For months, Cruz’ unfavorables seriously lagged Trump’s and Hillary’s, curious after his self-soiling, miserable failures against a master of mud-slinging and calumny. Not anymore.
