Cruz won’t attack Trump, but why won’t Trump attack Cruz?

Regarding the data mining the Cruz campaign is doing - every ad and marketing agency in the world do it. That’s what they do for a living. When the info is parsed they put together ad campaigns. Nothing nefarious going on.

Cruz is planning on an effective, targeted blitz when he unleashes it. Compare with the untargeted blitz unleashed by Bush that loses voters every time his commercials air for the low low price of $50 million.

Cruz is trying to make a wise investment with his campaign dollars. You know, be conservative with them?

Trump comes from the “no such thing as bad publicity” school of thought.

Different strategies for different campaigns.

Because Trump needs a tough smart VP and Cruz is the one he thinks he can work with. These two have a deal.

I don’t necessarily want to piss on everybody’s good time here, but who cares why Trump isn’t attacking Cruz? Does it have any bearing on whether Trump or Cruz is a good candidate? This sort of analysis seems akin to the water cooler talk about the latest TV reality show. “Do you think Ted and Donald will form an alliance?” Some aspects of politics do matter, and should be followed, but a lot of it is just wallowing in the pointless drama. If that is your hobby, fine, but time could be better spent reading a book, stocking your SHTF shelves, practicing at the shooting range, or just enjoying a good day with your loved ones. Just a friendly reminder.

Because Trump isn’t stupid or vicious.

If and when Cruz REALLY goes after Trump, that's when we'll see all hell be unloaded on Cruz and NOT until then.

Trump doesn't hit out for no reason; it's just NOT his style at all.

Cruz is also an excellent counter puncher. Ask any of the media who’s ever tried to take him down why they stopped trying!

In your dreams! LOL
You have a failing memory; Trump is the one who hits the moderators and he NEVER hits first. It’ll be Cruz who is flattened, for good and all.

They have mostly IGNORED Cruz completely; he’s just NOT on the MSM’s radar.....yet.

“Not really, Trump is so bold that he hardens those opposed to him to the point that they will never support anything he wants done even if he compromises.”

Wow, what a bunch of crap!

He wouldn’t be worth $10B if that were the case. One has to compromise plenty in business deals. He’s an alpha male, not a weak kneed politician like we’ve had for so long. Nobody even recognizes how men used to be.

Well, we agree on one thing ;)

Trump is an old fashioned man; a REAL man!
Today, there’s nothing but a bunch of PC loving, thumb sucking pajama boys running around.

They both have an, “Understanding”.

I agree 100%. When the two sat down in Trump Towers, early on, they struck a pact. That is all I am going to say about what I think occurred in that meeting because the plan has to remain ‘unpredictable.’

I AM NOT A FOLLOWER IN A CULT OF PERSONALITY!!!!

This is an outrageous insult.

I sincerely believe that Trump hates political correctness as much as I do, and I love his in-your-face/down-in-the gutter method of dealing with it. I believe he is the man who is most likely and most able to do something about massive illegal immigration.

I was never all that interested in Donald Trump, and in my younger years regarded him as a bit of a rake.

But he is the right man for these strange times.

So wrong. Cruz ain’t going be the whiny boy’s babysitter.
I know no trump supporters care anything about what he has done or any of his past views or how he belittles people -trump supporters especially love that and practice his techniques on freepers who do not agree.
Cruz is real. He would be my first pick for cloning.

Well put! I think Trump will score high with women voters just for that reason!

running the senate is a nothing burger.
A man like Cruz should be running the country and I believe he will.

Cruz has already influenced Trump. Where do you got Trump decent policies from? if Trump had any control over his mouth or any real policy knowledge I would think about him.
