“They pretend to be pro-Cruz, but they trash Trump and his followers in such an ugly way that it hurts Trump while simultaneously turning people against Cruz.”
Aren’t you clever - yes, that could very well be it.
Although it seems to be backfiring with the pro-Trump folks. We - or I - get more behind him the more he is attacked with ridiculous statements. They can’t even come up with anything reasonable!
Yes, I started noticing this when some of them were being politically correct and defending fox news: both of these things are unworthy of a true Cruz supporter. So I began wondering if these people were just GOPe-bots trying to hurt both Trump and Cruz through their underhanded activities.
It’s a possibility, so it’s worth monitoring.
