In my opinion the “attacks” between the two that have been so well publicized have been greatly exaggerated. Trump was stating the obvious when he said the Democrats would question Cruz's eligibility in the general and Cruz's reference to Trump's “New York values” was an obvious reference to the city's and its Politicians’ propensity for extreme liberalism. Both were soft balls and not true attacks.
I suspect the dustups have been primarily the work of the mass media. I wouldn’t doubt that Cruz and Trump exchanged Christmas cards. Watching them both on stage, I don’t see the body language that betrays any animosity between the two. The media do what they do for their own reasons. If they can get people to dislike either candidates, they’ve earned their DNC/RNC pay. Neither Trump nor Cruz are well loved by the media or by RINOs.
It’s all planned kabuki fireman. They have been planning for sometime to get the SCOTUS to make a decision. CRUZ was doing his best interpretation of “don’t throw me in the briar patch!”
The comment about Trumps lawyers : big sis is a colleague with almost identicle record, of Sam Alito. She spoke in his behalf at his confirmation hearing. Discussion at the holiday table could be interesting. His daughter is going to law school and greatly influenced by her aunt. Close family
