To give him cred with the solid conservatives.

Exactly. All this "stalking horse" nonsense is either the plutocrats in denial that Trump is for real, or an attempt to convince us of that.

Once again- just asking— don’t you think he’s elevating Cruz?

I support Cruz- so, I’m very happy that Trump will bring his audience to this event.

But just objective politics— if I were way ahead in the polls, I don’t think I would give another guy this chance.

My sense is there’s more to it.
