Hmm, actually I think is just the opportunity Cruz needs. FYI I’m an undecided guy right now, but hear me out...
Cruz is supposed to be an outsider... he is losing the messaging though and is being seen as an insider now, I suppose because he’s a new Senator? Either way, he has a chance to change this right now.
My advice to Cruz would be this.
Spring into action! Lambaste the GOP for their behavior, congratulate Trump for his performance in the previous states, and reiterate the demand to be excluded from the GOP establishment. Go full maverick and stand tall.
People would see this and likely immediately join to either Cruz or Trump. Trump may end-up blowing himself up, his mouth can get him in trouble.
It’s a crazy election!
You are on to something. Cruz would be better off attacking Romney rather than aligning himself with Romney. More than likely, he will just say that he respects Romney but will not comment on his remarks, which speak for themselves,
You have a point, but you really are naive. Cruz knew all about this little charade today. Romney could have easily endorsed Rubio, or Kasich or both. The establishment supposedly hates Cruz as much if not more than Trump. However, Milt says that any of the candidates are better than Trump. So, do you think for a minute that Cruz didn’t know the particulars of this, what Romney was going to say and that he was included in the “better than Trump crowd?” Cruz is as inside as they come and if he was truly the outsider he claims, he’d condemn Romney and do himself infinitely more good than staying on the sidelines with this. This is now a Trump vs. Everyone else race, and Cruz is part of the everyone else.
