I think your post makes sense for Trump....unfortunately you show a reasonable and adult view....some thing The Donald has yet to exhibit!!!Character assassination and third grade insults and tweets are what he has excelled at!!!
Trump told Maureen Dowd yesterday that he regretted tweeting Heidi's picture. this is a signal that he is changing gears. Ted appears to still be in attack mode with his comments that indicated he would consider backing over Trump with his car and that he liked Obama better than Trump. I noticed that there was no reaction from Trump or his campaign to these comments. I think that this is definitely a step in the right direction. My guess is that Trump will be toning it down for the remainder of the race.
Ted will be irrelevant once he cannot reach a majority of the delegates before the convention. As I said this will take place in a little over two weeks. At this point Ted is nothing more than a tool being used by the GOPe to try and prevent Trump from getting a majority of delegates before the convention. Reacting to Ted's nasty comments only plays into the GOP establishment's hands.
The same is true for those of us who have been trashing Ted on the Free Republic. (guilty as charged) Sure he mostly deserved it and the fight was fun while it lasted, but it is now counterproductive. Cruz is no longer a serious threat. It is now time to kiss and make up and start pushing for Ted to be where he truly belongs, a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States.
