It’ll be open warfare among conservatives if Trump starts going after Cruz. This forum and others will become a savage battlefield.
The Cruz guys will be on the losing end though. Cruz fails on the most important issues and is no "pure" conservative, which is their only attack against Trump.
If this forum becomes a savage Cruz vs. Trump battlefield, I”m investing in popcorn futures.
For me, it comes down to believing that Cruz is truly off the GOPe reservation. He’s had some troubling votes, his immigration stand has been iffy, and his big donors and wife represent the usual GOPe supporting suspects.
In spite of all that, maybe he’s really a true insurgent candidate, but unless he’s privy to info on a GOPe move that will keep Trump off the ballot in some key states, I don’t see why he’d “dis” Trump at this point. Maybe it’s just too much being read into some phrasing, but hey, at least it’s not a boring election season.
There’s also his Canadian birth. The Supreme Court has shown it’s more than willing to find all kinds of intent in the constitution, and who knows how they’d rule on that question?
I’ve sent money to Cruz, but I’d rather see Trump win the nomination. If Trump implodes, quits or dies I’d certainly support Cruz, but I’d not be shocked if he Ted got elected and then turned out to be a GOPe sheep in conservative wolf’s clothing. I hope that’s not the case.
