But now, not so much.
His turn to diss Cruz will either give him the ultimate vote or it will have the opposite effect.
It's a gamble he is making.
I agree. He's alienating the base just as badly as the GOPe.
“Trump is splitting his support. Many people like myself were rooting for him and Cruz. I really hoped they could be some sort of team. Together they would have been devastatingly unstoppable.”
My feelings exactly!...until last week, I was supporting Cruz with Trump as a strong second choice....none of the others candidates are on my radar. When Trump went after Cruz on his Crazy II Birther hit and subsequently produced his slime-ball, NY-style Twitter rage this past weekend, I lost all respect for the man. Such a distasteful person should not be President! If he is the nominee, he will not get my vote now or in the general, should he be so fortunate!
-Feeney, get your book out.
-Set down the name, the one Donald J. Trump....
-Feeney, have you written the name I gave you?
-I have.
-Well, strike a line through it.
-That´s for him. Donald J. Trump...
-He´ll regret it to his dying day, if ever he lives that long.
....with apologies to John Wayne, Victor McLaglen, and the Quiet Man
So Cruz bears no responsibility for this “rift”? I say that with quotes, because they are both running for President. Are they not to attack each other as the front runners? That is what politics is, whether we like it or not. Sure, we’d like fantasyland where they hold hands and thrash the competition, but there’s only one President, and they both want it.
