“This idiot would be lucky if he keeps his Senate seat, considering how willing he was to scuttle this election in the Democrat’s and GOPe’s favor!”
On the contrary, I submit to you that Cruz provided Trump a political education, that without it Trump would never beat the Clinton machine or get through the GOPe. Cruz taught Trump the necessities of having a great ground game and negotiating the web of rules and delegate gathering.
There was no one else in the field who could have pushed Trump to up his game, Like Cruz or hate Cruz, Trump needed Cruz and so far it has paid off. Trump lives off adversity and no other candidate could do wha Cruz did. Whether inadvertently or not, Cruz led Trump through the mine field, showed him the GOPe shenanigans and prepared Trump for what is to come in Cleveland and beyond.
Agree 100%. Cruz was the only one scrappy enough to fight. And Trump learned how dirty politics can get and it will get much worse with Hellary. The rest of the 17 were to easy to ditch. Cruz was resourceful and tenacious, we got to admire that. And he rode Trump’s coattails and allowed him to knock out all 15.
However, without the millions of dollars of super PAC money, his game would be impossible to play. Everyone is in that boat, and if you don’t cut deals and sell your soul, you don’t get to play in the big game. That is 21st century politics.
Never saw you here before but your points have merit.
