âSenator Cruz has been so nice to me, I canât hit him,â Trump said in South Carolina earlier this year, returning the compliment. âI may have to if he starts getting like really close.â
Now, it appears that time may be nearing. âWeâll see what happens,â Trump replied to Kernen on Monday before reminding the CNBC host that Cruz has so far âbeen very nice and very supportive of everything Iâve said, more than anybody else.â
âWe have a lot of the same ideas,â Trump noted before warning that heâll have no hesitation going after his ideological mate if he makes a play for his top spot. âIf he catches on, I guess weâll have to go to war,â
He said it with a smile (I saw the interview) but probably meant he'd campaign against Cruz if necessary. Why wouldn't he? But after all the nice things he said here, I don't see him "declaring war" or "attacking.". I think it will be a different approach from other candidates.
It’s wait and see, only time will tell.
