So you think that “Lyin Ted” has that much sway with the public? Sorry but I’m not into conspiracies...
Cruz is trying to sow discord within the party/conservatives and is hoping it is enough to give the election to Hillary.
You think that requires a "conspiracy"? That's just Cruz putting himself first - as always.
Trump picked, by all accounts, a true conservative for his running mate that should be enough to carry that wing of the party to the voting booth.
