Cruz has been smart enough from the very beginning to understand that Trump is the alpha dog of the race and that it would be far better to work with him than attack or underestimate him. It is far better to freeze out the GOPe candidates and make the choice between anti-establishment candidates. So far, so good.
Winning is really only that if we elect a conservative. But, as always, we give lip service to that basic truth for three years. Then when election time rolls around, some of us break off and run to the shiny thing that we think is "electable."
Dole, McCain, Romney...they were all "electable." Some of us never, ever learn.
I guess you subscribe to the POV of another Trump supporter, who told me that winning was the only principle he cared about.
Ted Cruz will attract “ conservative “ Voters, isn’t what this whole Free Republic site is all about ?
Conservatism.
But when people advocate that the abortion , gay rights and marriage issue is not important and that a certain candidate will even appeal to bluedog Union Democrats then they should go on over to Democrats Under Ground website to promote their “ broad appeal “ candidate.
Not here on Free Republic.
I know it means a lot to you Trump fans to think that old gasbag is some kind of John Wayne alpha male, but you're 100% wrong about Cruz's strategy.
He has said many times that negative attacks aren't his style. He prefers to stick to the Constitution and the issues. He campaigned the same way when he ran for the Senate.
It has nothing to do with Trump specifically.
Well, well, well , what a surprise, Donald Trump supports backdoor amnesty after all.
We told you so that he can’t be trusted.
