It's deliberate.
The media and the GOPe are loving the division between the two non-establishment candidates, Trump and Cruz.
They are playing the rabid supporters on both sides like a fiddle, and those supporters are apparently more than happy to be played.
That position has softened now as a result of Cruz's actions over the past few weeks (even prior to the "mistress" issue. That has nothing to do with the media, and everything to do with Ted's actions and words in town halls and debates.
Cruz has gone "beat Trump at all costs", and I mean, ALL costs.
We only have one anti establishment candidate left.
It is Trump against the establishment.
My eyes and ears don’t lie to me.
