Trump is not my first choice, but do you think that Hillary and the media would not cast the same aspersions on Cruz after a prospective nomination? Trump isn’t doing it to be mean... he’s doing it to win. If Cruz can overcome, then he will be battle hardened for the general election. If Cruz can’t even convince enough Republicans to reject Trump’s attack, then how can he possibly win a general election?
I was, at first, offended by the crass attacks by Trump on Carson and then Cruz. But I’m telling you, he is framing the debate. Jeb Bush will forever be “low energy,” because Trump was able to make that characterization stick. His attacks may be totally unfair, but politics ain’t beanbag. The other candidates have to figure out a way to stand up to and overcome such attacks, or they will be unprepared for the general.
Trump is trying get Cruz vetted so he can make him his running mate.
Crazy like a fox.
McStain pulled in evangelicals with Palin, and Trup is not stupid, nor does he ignore history.
The founding fathers wrote the rule of Judeo-Christian law so that we did not need to elect the best Christian in the race, just the best leader and most qualified.
I think the founding fathers were smarter than the Christians who oppose Trump, and if my vote was the only one that counted, I’d vote for Cruz.
See the big picture and historical context.
Trump is doing it because it’s what Trump does and always has done. He’s like a teenage girl: “You can’t be my friend if you’re gonna be her friend.” Just look at how Trump reacted to Bob Vander Plaats’ endorsement of Ted Cruz; Trump vilified him because he thought he had bought Vander Plaats.
