**** “Trump has totally destroyed Cruz. Personally, professionally and politically. It’s sad that this has come to be the successful tactic in this country” ****
Trump did none of that! Cruz did it all to himself! What is sad that you believe it. I was a Cruz supporter, I supported him for President before he ran for the Senate! Then I watched him turn on Trump after we were having our Trump / Cruz lovefest ... Cruz took the first shot and Trump responded/counterpunched
It is when Cruz started losing me, he’d say something deny it and then bitch about Trump trashing him. I watched this whole thing in REAL TIME.
Trump is just Trump... he didn’t hunt down Ted Cruz and destroy him... he just put a flashlight on him and said “Watch This” and Cruz proceeded to destroy himself.
Obviously we didn’t see the same campaign.
I agree with your excellent summary.
