Did it ever, EVER occur to these people that they got beat less because of what they did/didn’t do than what Trump did?
He ran what will be viewed as one of the most amazing campaigns in all political history, spent a record minimum amount of money doing it, and got a record number of primary votes.
Frankly, I don't think Cruz would have done as well as he did had Trump not been in the race. Once Trump broke the mold about how primaries are supposed to go, I think more voters decided to look outside the box and reject the chosen candidate (Jeb). Also, I think Trump emboldened some of the other republicans to atack the moderators at debates, etc. Had Trump not been in the race, I think it would have been 2012 all over again.
Indiana was Tuesday, just 3 days ago.
Already Cruz seems like a distant bad memory.
