>> There is obvious coordination occurring between both campaigns <<
Could be. I wouldn’t doubt it a bit.
But such activity has absolutely no bearing on the issue — which is that either (a) Trump said something damaging on the tape, or (b) he did not.
Therefore, Trump needs to tell the NYT to release the tape, in order to show how Cruz and Company are playing dirty.
Tell you this....There is nothing tangible about this mystery tape. Who knows what it says or if it actually exists. Best guess, it’s probably nothing as the NYT is no friend of Trump and would gleefully “leak” anything they deemed damaging. Let’s see how Trump responds in the next few days.
As for coordination, it has a lot of bearing on Cruz, a self proclaimed “outsider” apparently running a partnered campaign with the establishment candidate.
