“Cruz is a coward who lets others do the gutter sniping for him so he can pretend he is pure. “
This is correct. Scumbag candidates, which is clear that Cruz is now one of, do indeed hide behind their scumbag PACs and other scumbag “supporters” to do their dirty work and then pretend like their hands are clean.
This good-cop, bad-cop routine has long been the primary domain of the Democrats, but Cruz is now taking these scumbag tactics to the nth degree, and it speaks worlds about his character, and not in a good way.
Trump has no PACs and no Mitt Romney’s, or Lindsey Grahams, or Bill Krisols, or National Review Onlines to do his dirty work. It’s just The Donald, and if people really understood this, they would understand that Trump is indeed not playing the old, reprehensible D.C. games, but along with being self-financed, Donal Trump is actually campaigning in the way that all of those who profess they want “campaign reform” claim they want to see.
He is also a shameless self promoter as well. Think about it, there is no route to the Whitehouse for Ted Cruz. None.
He will go into the Convention behind Trump in delegates by a significant amount. The only hope he has is for the Party to come to his rescue and deny the voters their chosen candidate. At which point the disenfranchised majority will simply walk away.
He would then lose terribly to Clinton. He knows this, it is obvious to everyone at this point. So why is he still staying in and basically photo-bombing the Republican Primary race? He is doing it for Ted Cruz. He is willing to risk a Clinton administration to try and become a contender in the future. It’s pathetic.
