This all started when Cruz was meeting with his billionaire donors and telling how he was playing kissy-face with Trump and Carson, playing for the right time to stick a shiv in their backs. That's when Trump became grumpy.
Cruz is an arrogant, overtly ambitious little boy in an adult body, who believes that he is better than he really is and got his nose bent out of join t when W didn't see him that way. Cruz didn't get the job he wanted, from W, so decided to get higher jobs by any means there were.
Cruz, no matter what he may claim, is an INSIDER and a pol. Trump isn't either.
I know nothing of what you are telling me but I do know what I heard with my own ears. Are you talking about the kill them with kindness remark? Or love or whatever it was. I think you are embellishing a little. Which is what Trumpers do.
