This was manufactured in order to pit Trump against Cruz in next weeks debate. They are hoping by promoting Cruz, he will siphon off some of Trumps lead in order to then make a headline around the holidays that Trumps support is in decline.
This is only about being able to change the narrative. The Left really thinks they are slick and people will not see what they are trying to do. They just want to give the drive by media the headline that Trumps support is in decline from Dec 15 until Jan.
The Left media uses all it's Liberal outlets to attempt to persuade voters a certain way. The Mainstream media is the Democrat Party. Hopefully voters are wising up to their manipulations to create news versus reporting it. This is an attempt to create a new headline going into holiday season.
Hoping Trump and Cruz do not fall for it.
I hope they put their heads together ahead of time and manipulate it to their advantage.
After all, the establishment still has an entire cadre of delegate siphoners still in the republican race. That is no accident.
