When Trump and Cruz had their private meeting very early in the campaign I wanted to think it was because they had this game plan to join forces somehow. Boy was I wrong! Now I believe it was one of two reasons. 1) Cruz wanted money or 2) Cruz tried to talk Trump out of running.
“Now I believe it was one of two reasons. 1) Cruz wanted money or 2) Cruz tried to talk Trump out of running.”
I agree. I think it was a very cynical ploy. He misjudged how Trumps support would explode. He, like many other thought he would be out before Labor day. So he decided to act friendly to Trump, and wait for him to bow out. He hoped the friendly act would gain him a section of voters he could win.
But the apparent friendly act was a fake. Like so much of Raphael. Even his name.
