Chauncey Uppercrust: “Was this a good idea?”
C. Edmund Wright: “Well it was a bit risky, and so far, Cruz’ campaign has been anything but risky.”
If Cruz waits too long though, will Trump have become too solid to move at all? If Trump puts some primary wins on his belt, the hill Cruz must climb will have become steeper.
This may be the best interval for Cruz to strike, as Trump and Carson are not making much headway, and Rubio and Fiorina are running out of momentum and media furnished astroturf. Jeb: (colon intended) is or isn’t going to be appointed so doesn’t matter, the others don’t matter because they are now and will always be insignificant contenders. Now is the time, if Cruz is going to stay in the hunt.
This is the first fun race to watch in many long and dreary cycles, IMO.
Yeah, you outlined where we are. That is precisely the calculus. FYI I was told - on very good authority - that around debate 4 Cruz was going to get more aggressive. I responded that debate 3 would be better. Maybe he's moved up that time table. Or maybe he sees a little opening with Kelo comments, etc. Or it could be just a comment....
