The GOP presidential nominee campaign just went from the sublime to the utterly ridiculous. In what appeared to a prepared remark, Ted Cruz just explained to holiday-weekend-crowd of reporters that he "has no desire to copulate with Donald Trump."

In a personal statement he defended his choice to screen the film: “Grace [Hightower] and I have a child with autism and we believe it is critical that all of the issues surrounding the causes of autism be openly discussed and examined“.

For those who need a primer of what is rapidly becoming the biggest "issue" in the presidential race, here is a reminder, courtesy of our post from last night "Tough Guy Ted Warns "Sniveling Coward" Trump: "Leave My Wife Alone":

In July of 1977 a young man named Richard Herrin murdered his ex-girlfriend, Bonnie Garland, by smashing her head in with a hammer as she slept. Herrin and Garland had met as students at Yale, and had dated for two years, but she had told him she wanted to be free to see other people.
