I think Cruz was smart not to criticize Trump or his voters. Those are Cruz people and the two could work well together.
Cruz knows Washington, he’s Hispanic, he’s a brilliant debater, and he’s my first choice. I just don’t think the $120 million war chest Jeb has built up money is EVER going to Cruz. So he won’t do it on his own.
He with Trump though would be a great ticket and the conservative turn out would rival the 90% black turnout Obama got.
That’s what the “we need a McCain / Romney” crowd doesn’t understand.
Motivated base is how you win elections.
I think Trump is Cruz’s back up plan. He wants to be VP.
