Yet Donald is friends with the power structure in DC.
Cruz is nasty but Shumer, Reid and pelosi are people he can work with...
I would say the same exact thing. Its a play right out of the Prince , by Machiavelli.
With enemies you are not immediatley quarreling with directly but are yet an anticipated enemy, send out a niceity as they will immediatley be defensive. Which puts you dominant.
THe real fool is one who wastes energy attacking an enemy that doesnt need to be attacked yet. Waste of energy and invites unecessary confrontation.
Trump is laying the ground work with the dems. If they turn nasty, he lays into him. That's how he operates. Personally, I'd love it if he takes on Harry Reid and give it back to that old coot. That POS Ryan actually did kiss up to the dems and gave them more than what they asked for last December.
