When you get someone as verbally quick on his feet as Ted Cruz, who openly seeks conflict, you have to use the element of surprise. The Donald may say nothing at all to Ted about this ‘betrayal’, nothing, until the next debate.

I suspect Donald has his people running numbers, algorithms, spreadsheets and stats on Ted Cruz’s time in office, and his effect, or lack of effect thereof. Remember how he fired shots at the beloved Scott Walker, who never quite knew how to respond. Watch and see. When Ted least expects it, Donald (or one of his minions during an interview) will say something to highlight a negative aspect of Ted’s political career.

I agree. You’ve summarized nicely :)

Never happen. Trump knows better than to get in a confrontation with Cruz.

That was an unfortunate gaffe for Ted Cruz. He should have stuck with his previous standard response which was that he was not going to play the media’s game about picking winners and losers and that he would instead focus on his campaign. Now he has recorded that Donald Trump will not be the nominee and if he’s wrong his future will always refer back to this false prediction.

I’ve been one of Cruz’ strongest defenders, but I’ve seen the reality which is that Donald Trump is a patriot who draws from all demographics of America more broadly than that of Ted Cruz’ supporters.

Because of the imbalance in broad appeal, I’ve envisioned Ted Cruz as Donald’s running mate allowing up to two terms for the nation to get to know Ted Cruz before he would run as President again, and he’s only 44 years old so there’s plenty of time. But this gaffe is just what the leftist media have been waiting for as an opening to a ‘divide and conquer’ opportunity.

I pray Ted corrects the impression he has made as Ben Carson did about Donald’s faith. I think he will.

Cruz poll numbers have remained low, haven’t really grown. A true candidate of the religious conservative base, but lacks ability to draw others in party. Certainly won’t get any democrat crossover votes, infact dems will probably show up to vote to keep him from winning the general election. I think they would be afraid of a Cruz administration.

There are no negative aspects to Cruz’ political career.

He is the only candidate that has done anything at all for the people of the US.
