I've been saying for months that if this is who Donald Trump is, and he's not just running a con, then either he's had the mother of all late-in-life political shifts (which don't happen all that often), or he's gone senile.

But your last paragraph is exactly why I used the word surprising. This is way out of synch with anything we've seen during the campaign.

This is beyond the range of the type of positional gaffes he's made to date. Whether it gets any play is a different matter entirely however.

I would virtually guarantee that the two snippets cited here would have filled my social media if they'd been spoken by Cruz.

Instead? This FOFC thread is the only mention of it I've seen all day.
