Cruz can take Bush at any time and he knows it. But take out Bush now and his support goes to Christie or Graham or some other establishment suit. What he needs to do is get all the fringe candidates like Trump and Perry and Carson out of the way so that he can consolidate conservative support behind him. In a heads up race, mano y mano, Bush vs. Cruz then Bush loses. In a three or four way race with Bush and Walker and Trump and Cruz then Bush wins. Cruz is bright enough to know that.
Cruz will not be slicing up Trump. Why would Cruz go through the trouble of calling a meeting with Trump, and why would Trump accept, if they were political enemies? Also, Cruz was out there loudly defending Trump regarding his remarks about illegal immigration. That was very risky and not the actions of a man who is out to derail Trump’s candidacy.
Bush needs to be taken out ASAP. He is the most likely among the evil GOPe to gain momentum after Florida.
Chrisie or Graham are a joke.
If we can get Bush out then there is a much better chance for a Conservative to win.
Waiting to take Bush out is a dangerous move.
