This is what he said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Lyin&#39; Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad.

Soon after, Mrs. Cruz quit her high-powered post in Washington, took a job in finance and moved to Texas, an unfamiliar place, to be closer to Mr. Cruz, then the state\u2019s solicitor general. The transition unsettled her.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>In August 2005, a police officer in Austin, answering a call about a woman sitting beside an expressway on-ramp, found Mrs. Cruz with her head in her hands. He transported her to an unnamed facility, according to his report, which said, \u201cI believed that she was a danger to herself.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Normally, these would<em><strong> not<\/strong><\/em> be topics of consideration when debating the merits of a presidential candidate, but then again, neither would this photo be part of an &#8220;attack&#8221; (really, support) ad&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>To be sure, we knew this presidential race would promptrly devolve to the surreal and absurd, but not even we expected that it would very quickly transform itself into a campaign where naked photos of potential first ladies would randomly appear on social networks.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Cruz attack ad (because even if he tries to admit it, it was his) we wonder how many full-blooded males would &#8220;support Ted Cruz&#8221; on Tuesday if given a choice of him&#8230; or Melania as first lady.
