Smearing Trump will not help Cruz.
You disagree? You think Trump would serve as a VP or ambassador? The guy has spent most of his life building monuments to himself, he is not about to stop now!
I disagree to the extent that you are not God, with the ability to see into Trump’s heart and know his motives. You smear him with projected motives, but only God and Trump know what really drives him.
Some believe he is a true patriot who hates seeing the destruction Obama has brought about, and wants to do what he can to reverse it. Others look for the worst motives they can find and assign them to Trump. This only diminishes the person doing the projecting.
