See post 23.
I think cRuz has seen the writing on the Trump Wall and is more than happy to play along w/Trump’s plan.
It would be interesting to know what Trump conveyed to him when they met recently.
I would imagine this issue was raised.
It has been my thought (and others have expressed it too), that Trump backed Ryan’s plan so that when it failed, he wouldn’t get blamed for it.
Then he could back something like Paul’s plan and folks wouldn’t reject it out of revenge toward Trump.
