I am stunned to read comments on this thread to the effect that somehow Donald Trump deserves the credit for Ted Cruz’ courage.
Sadly, it’s a banzai charge. Cruz has been triangulated & marginalized. Tag teamed by the GOPe/MSM/Dems and ground down to single digits in the polls. There’s no way he can get the beltway stink off him at this point. He’d have been better off running for governor of Texas, IMO.
If it’s a banzai, it might be in support of Trump. When Ted Cruz gives a brilliant dissertation on how the GOP is broken, does it not add credence to the idea of an outsider?
Trump has positioned himself as an outsider and struggles to get the reigns of the party. A man like Cruz could be a great asset in that struggle.
It’s no accident that they’ve met and hold fire on each other.
Being pro Trump doesn’t mean being against Ted Cruz and his powerful oratory.
