Why is it so difficult to support Trump without bad-mouthing Cruz?? And vice-versa?

I gotta tell ya, Cruz was once my favorite, but now I can't watch him talk for 30 seconds without switching the channel. All he does is "bad mouth" Donald Trump. It's obviously not a winning strategy, and hasn't been for months, really, but it nonetheless proceeds apace.

Ted Cruz is clinging to a shrinking base of support. It's rather unrealistic when Cruz's campaign and supporters are tearing down the presumptive nominee, to expect the Trump campaign and supporters to unilaterally disarm.

The fact is, what Cruz is doing, as the losing candidate, is what is needlessly ripping the party apart.

This is the exact reason why a candidate should step aside: when they have no reasonable chance of winning any scenario.

The party can't unify as long as Ted Cruz carries on this Machiavellian mission on behalf of either his GOPe benefactors or else his own blind personal ambition.

If the situation were reversed, there would be a deafening outcry for Donald Trump to suspend his campaign.

Instead, Ted Cruz is in that position, and one need look no further to see the rank hypocrisy at play here on the part of both the GOPe and the failed Cruz campaign.

So that's my synopsis as to why Ted Cruz is being "bad-mouthed". Donald Trump has endured magnitudes more "bad-mouthing".

Anyone who has seen the last few moves by the Cruz campaign should be aware of what stage it has arrived at.

I'm sure everybody would all be delighted if the GOP(e)-on-GOP badmouthing would stop, so that we could all enjoy the Democrats bad-mouthing us all as a group.

Vote Trump

Yet Trump built his campaign on a “trash the other guy” strategy.....
