“Seriously, support Trump with all the vigor you’ve got. That’s great. But why resort to lying about other good conservative candidates such as Cruz?”
Because to admit that Cruz is not the Devil would start to bother their conscience.
They know in their hearts Ducking Donnie is not a conservative, but they try to rationalize it by painting Cruz as a villain.
Bingo! They know Cruz is the one honest and honorable person in DC who has a proven track record of fighting against liberal policies (whether they are Republican or Democrat positions).
Trump knows he has to rebrand Cruz as a liar to take away his strength—and unfortunately it is working. Cruz was caught flat footed on this line of attack and has let the lyin’ Ted take hold in many areas.
Ted should have rebranded Trump as bad for the economy...that’s Trump’s strength. But instead he got into the poop flinging contest a little too much.
