1. I bet Grandmaster Cruz called the meeting- it’s brilliant.
2. Trump’s accomplishment is that he’s been forcing all the ostensible “I’m really a conservative” candidates, to reveal their loyalty to the Rino regime.
3. So, even if Cruz and Trump are only meeting to discuss hair styles, the meeting in and of itself promulgates the message of that political divide.
4. They are the 3rd party running in the republican primary. Shock-waves.
I hadn’t thought of it that way, but you are correct. Informally, they are a Third Party!
