Why would you think Cruz is laying a second-to-none grassroots campaign in order to be Trump's second?
Cruz is in this to win.
And so is Trump, of course.
Trump is trying to, well, trump the rest by offering a customized “Let’s make a deal” to larger America.
This “COULD” work. It worked for Trump as businessman. As it turns out, larger America is a lot more conservative than its government.
“Why would you think Cruz is laying a second-to-none grassroots campaign in order to be Trump’s second?
Cruz is in this to win.”
Exactly. Cruz has been playing a long-game strategy, and we’re about to see it unfold.
I suspect that many who are paying slight attention to the race aren't yet aware of the organization and grassroot support Cruz has built. Although the clandestine nature helps it grow strong and develop the structure necessary to be effective, it's easily missed by those who get their news from the MSM, YouTube, etc.
