A little more:
The RNC can stop Cruz with a number of little things they could not get away with on Trump.
They could schedule a Cruz appearance with people like John McCain and let Cruz explain saying No!
They could “forget†to notify local Republican heroes or local media when Cruz was coming to town.
They could “forget†to send out campaign materials.(I’ve seen this one more than once)
They could get big donors to go on record about why they were not supporting Cruz, thereby scaring off smaller heavy donors.
Clearly none of that applies to Trump.
Cruz can be tied to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and Goldman Sachs through his wife Heidi’s membership and employment. As unfair as it would be, Cruz would have to continually explain these things when he has to be out campaigning.
Trump has no such problem.
As member of the CFR, Heidi Cruz was a member of a Task Force that recommended Mexico, America and Canada “… should commit themselves to the long-term goal of dramatically diminishing the need for the current intensity of the governments’ physical control of cross-border traffic.â€
This means no wall. Cruz would have to explain this contradiction over and over again.
Could Cruz merely explain away all of these - and there are many more - he would not be able to do so with free media.
Would he need to explain donating to the very person he would be running against? Being pro-choice, aggressively so? Donating to left wing politicians simply to advance his own business interests (which is logical BTW)? Opportunistically registering Democrat, Independent, Republican? Advocating the Canadian health care system while advocating to tear down Obamacare?
I like what Trump is doing. I like that he's able to say whatever he wants and it bring major issues to the forefront.
But saying that Cruz will have all these issues without detailing the same for Trump is......well.....
