Your right, Cruz didn’t explain that today— but my sense is, he thinks it’s a tempest in a teapot. For whatever reason, this Trump stuff today is unimportant.
I heard -4th hand- rumor— that Van Plaats is fixing to endorse him Thursday.
When the spotlight starts to fade, Trump is pretty clever at getting it on himself again. If you get in the middle of it, you drive his numbers up and yours down. Cruz is too smart for that. Plus, I think he likes Trump even though competing with him.
