I think, compared to Cruz, Trump has a sloppier and less political use of language. This is not a bad thing. For example, some retard complained that Trump said “Mexico is killing us! China is killing us!” because they interpreted it literally as mass murder. I’ve seen other statements by Trump that could be easily abused, and he seems to have a style that is more free flowing and blunt. Compare to Cruz, who carefully words everything and is very observant with language— this comes from his debate experience. At the same time, this comes off as somewhat mechanical to me.
That said, I think Trump does know that he is throwing bombs and creating controversy. The beauty of it is that he probably realizes “there is no such thing as bad publicity.” By keeping the debate about him, he drowns out the other candidates, and displays them as whining, politically correct tools when they finally start snapping at him right next to the leftists.
I actually think Trump is breaking the ice for Cruz (because they both love this country).
