I'm skeptical of why Cruz is cozying up to Trump.

Cruz is a lawyer, he has said a lot of right things, but I don't fully trust him.

Possibilities:

• Cruz knows he is not likely to win the nomination, but Trump is. He's angling to be running mate.
• Cruz is just trying to stay out of the mud wrestling match by not saying anything negative.
• Cruz is trying to find Trump's weaknesses to exploit him. (Cynical view)

Trump on Cruz:

“They hit [Ted Cruz] harder than they hit the Democrats. If they’d hit the Democrats that hard, it would be a lot easier in life, but he took a stand and it was a brave stand,” Trump said, adding, “He really is a special guy.”

Trump also contributed $5,000.00 to Cruz’s campaign. If Trump likes and trusts him maybe you might give Cruz the benefit of the doubt.

If you study Cruz’s actions in his Senate election, he never trashes his opponent. He is always civil and says kind things even when he is being attacked unfairly. Dewey fought dirty in Texas, but Cruz stayed the course on not mounting personal attacks.

That is just who he is as a Christian. There is no diabolical plan or guile behind it.

I thought Cruz was real clear that he was not going to beat up on any republicans, Reagan’s 11th commandment, you know?
