We all know this Trumpian tactic and it can flip on a dime if he sees a negative impact. But it's not an underhanded approach—it's very public and transparent. It's not a truly “fair” approach, but it's tame when compared with the Democrats and the media.
Cruz should thank Trump for playing hard.
Who will be left to work for Trump in the GOP? Scott Brown?
The thing about Trump is he raises issues that need to be raised. Cruz’s likability is a real issue that needs to be discussed, and now it’s probably going to be discussed. Same thing with Cruz’s eligibility and his loans and stuff. It’s good that Trump is putting it on the table now. And it cuts the other way too, with Cruz bringing up Trump’s professed New York liberalism on social issues. All to the good, I say. Politics ain’t beanbag and these guys are slugging it out as they should.
This is standard Trump hyperbole. It’s his immediate reaction, taken to a greater level in front of cameras, with the intent of bullying Cruz.

Thank you.
