Maybe I’m wrong, but I have a sneaky feeling that Cruz is precisely where he wants to be at this stage of the election cycle. Being the frontrunner is dangerous. Middle of the pack, with stamina and strategy in mind, is much safer. Let Trump take the slings and arrows for now.
Cruz is smart. Smarter than me, smarter than a lot of other people. He has a plan and he’s working it. I think that there are a lot of people on the other side of the fence who are thinking the same thing and know he is the real threat that must be dealt with.
