Lotta spousal support going on in Cruz’s victory speech — Cruz put his wife Heidi on center stage tonight, hugging her several times, probably because he loves her (duh) but also because Trump said some nasty things about her lately. Cruz took the opportunity to talk about how his wife was a force to be reckoned with (she has a hella high-power job at Goldman Sachs) as well as a doting mother. The woman note was one that Cruz was hitting hard — “Strong women can accomplish anything,” he said — and this is in no small part, one imagines, because Trump has not been winning the hearts and minds of women lately, given his ugly smears about the physical attractiveness of his wife vs. Cruz’s and some remarks to the effect that women who have abortions ought to be punished, a position not widely held by those on the right.
