How could this work to Trump’s advantage? This feeds the narrative that the GOP is at war with itself.
But, it is. Of that there should be no doubt.
Right now, the good side just won another battle. The enemy unmasked himself. Ted made it obvious which side he supports.
Advantage, Trump.
Trump is running in the general election.
Conservatives despise Cruz. Liberals despise Cruz. The average guy on the street despises Cruz. Albeit for different reasons, the majority of the population despises Cruz.
How is it to Trump’s advantage to have an endorsement from someone that the majority of the population despises?
They are at war with themselves...and it’s a good thing. Flush the GOPe out. I don’t care if it takes till Election Day, as long as Trump prevails. And this (Cruz) does nothing to hurt Trump. He looks like the grownup....
BUT...
Think about this from the perspective of a DEMOCRAT OR INDEPENDENT who is on the fence and doesn't like Hillary. Would you be upset that 'extreme conservative' Cruz didn't endorse Trump? OF COURSE NOT!!!
