As other Republican presidential candidates go after Donald Trump, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is getting cozy with him. The two men are in a so-far cordial competition for many of the same anti-establishment conservatives, and they're about to share a stage.
One of 16 GOP candidates looking up at Trump in the polls, Cruz says the invitation was only to attract more attention to objections to the "catastrophic" deal...
"Wherever Donald goes, the media follow in droves." Any suggestion that the joint appearance has deeper meaning would be a "political horse game," he said.
Yet Cruz, the tea party hero who helped shut the federal government in 2013, needs the same frustrated voters who have pushed Trump to a surprising lead five months before primary voting begins. If it takes a shared stage to convince those conservatives that he should be their choice, so be it....
"An awful lot of presidential candidates," Cruz said, "have gone out of their way to take a stick to Donald Trump."
"I am not one of them."
Instead, he credits Trump with "shining a light" on an immigration crisis and getting conservatives excited.
"Look, I like Donald Trump, and I am glad Donald Trump is in this election," he said at a recent stop in South Carolina.
Yet he said, "There will come a time as this campaign goes forward for additional policy differences and differentiation." And his standard campaign pitch — which he has not changed through Trump's rise —

Well don’t be too upset when you find Cruz taking VP or the slot of his choice in a Trump administration. Cruz has the intellect but Trump has leadership skills and name recognition that money can’t buy. Cruz wouldn’t be cultivating Trump if he didn’t recognize a commonality of interests.
Why is it hypocritical?
A false dilemma, since electing Trump isn’t going to make the Constitution implode.
The Constitution was just completely ABROGATED a few days/hours ago by the Supreme Court.. COMPLETELY..
No joke easily researched.. Mark Levin was talking about it today on his radio program.. Sept 8, 2015..
Please try to pay attention..
By Donald Trump? I don't think so. But you know, even without a constitution, you still need a People, and what follows a people is a nation in their image. There will be plenty of time to reform government once the nation is ours again.

“Cultivating”, IS NOT WHAT HE IS DOING..
UNLESS you mean farming him.. Cruz is indeed farming TRUMP..
Like a singer uses a bass/cello player..
BUT Ted could acapella easily..
By Donald Trump? I don’t think so.
You missed something(zoom).. really really important..
suggest re-read..
Forgive him, his native language is Klingon.
Thank You very much.
Forgive him, his native language is Klingon.
Live long and have a Latte’..
Ted has My Full Support
In your dreams maybe, fanboy.
I assume by “farming” that you mean that Cruz is taking advantage of Trump in some fashion. Which would imply that Cruz is deceitful and that Trump is unsophisticated, neither of which has any connection with the real world.
The man is a fraud.
Sure!
He has my support too - it’s good to have the ping list back!

When your opponent is harvesting your wheat for you, don’t stop him..
Looks like Cruz has really stirred up a hornet’s nest with his rally against the Iran deal.
I just love this guy .. he’s always one step ahead of the rest of them.
Did you read his book: “Time to Get Tough”? If you are too lazy or illiterate, then you are not well informed as to his beliefs, goals and agenda.
Anyone who saw the interview know you're simply lying.
Say goodbye to your credibility.

I’m not.. I know of what he says he wants to do...
But he vacillates on those ideas.. not all of them tho..
I dearly wish TRUMP COULD BE TRUSTED....Really I do..
BUT he can’t be.. needs to prove himself to me.. over a couple of years..
Not what he says but what he does that counts..
What he has been doing for the last few years makes me go WHOA..
But maybe he has had his “JUDAS moment”.. trust is just not there..
But he is doing well, if he wins the election I pray he is genuine..
But my heart tells me .... NO..
Cruz is the one, as many many Trump supporters believe too..
I going for Cruz, if TRUMP wins I’ll vote for the bastard..
Voting for Hildabeast just ain’t happening..
