It is too bad they didn’t get Rubio’s role into this story. Rubio has been the source of several sleazy tricks, and he is known to have been the source of this one. Just as I’d like to see Team Trump lay off the insults against Cruz, I’d like to see Team Cruz lay off the accusations against Trump (even when the accusation is accurate, which is not the case at least on the origin of this story).
Cruz and Trump are both imperfect but they agree far more than 80% of the time (see my tagline from Ronald Reagan). They should be friends and allies, and we should treat both of them as such.
The biggest losers in this are the rabid Cruz and Trump supporters who apparently hate the other far more than they like their own choice.
They don’t realize it but they are doing exactly what the establishment and the democrats want them to be doing. They are going to take out both candidates or at least get themselves so polarized they guarantee no republican will have enough support to win the general.
Whoever is nominated will absolutely need the votes from the other’s supporters to win, and at this point they will never get them. The nomination will be a Pyrrhic victory.
