To those who understand the varied approaches to American Conservatism, which I believe you both do, it is imperative that we do not fall into the trap of trying to promote an ongoing fight between Cruz and Trump supporters. The approaches of Trump & Cruz are complimentary, not exclusive.
Only a relatively small percentage of the public is really ideological in the sense of being able to define a philosophically Conservative position. Cruz is able to appeal very strongly and very motivationally to that small percentage. While they are essential to field a strong Conservative electioneering team, they are not sufficient in numbers to win an election at the Presidential level, without something more.
Trump, on the other hand, is able to rouse people who have strong patriotic instincts--even if most of them will not understand the strength of the purely philosophic argument. However, that does not mean that they are offended by that argument--only that it is not enough without a more general rallying of patriotic Americans, to control an election.
The Leftist media is going to try every trick in the book, to induce an ongoing battle to embitter the supporters of Cruz & Trump against each other. That effort may well be the Left's best shot at frustrating what may be our last hope of returning America to her heritage. It is of crucial importance, then, that we not get sucked into that effort.
On the 15th, Trump & Cruz demonstrated that they do not want to fall into such a trap. Those who understand my point should thank the Almighty for that demonstration, and we should all follow their example.
The Leftist media is going to try every trick in the book, to induce an ongoing battle to embitter the supporters of Cruz & Trump against each other.

Correct. And Dangus is their useful idiot as he inflates the rhetoric against Trump and as he intends to divide conservatives against each other.
Madness!
