For Trump it was a “Win..Win” That IS the art of the deal!!!
Yep. Trump knew that Cruz would get up there and make himself look like an ass.To quote Leslie Nielsen from Police Squad. He played Cruz like a fiddle at the local sap’s convention.
Precisely. Trump couldn't have cared less whether he got an endorsement from Cruz or not. (either way, win..win)
Heard a caller on Rush say this was all a set up by the RNC to destroy Cruz. This was about Trump and unifying the party. Cruz had his fate in his own hands. He could easily have swallowed a bit of pride and taken the high road but he chose to make himself look like an ass - all on his own.
One thing people don't get with Trump is, sure, when hit, he will hit back in a second when fighting for something, but even when hit, he doesn't take it personal. It's all about winning. He keeps his eyes on the prize and avoids distractions that don't further his cause.
