“They’d be wise to avoid speaking of Trump at all if he doesn’t go.”
You really believe that? If Trump isn’t there it will be a Crap-On-Trump-a-Thon! Jebbito will probably end up with a hernia going after Trump! Ditto for that sorry a$$hole Kasich.
I didn’t say they wouldn’t do it, I said it would be unwise. If Trump doesn’t go they should concentrate on getting me, and people like me, to vote and caucus for them. Saying nasty stuff about Trump won’t do that.
Hopefully Cruz points out that we can’t risk a candidate so irresponsible and temperamental that if he gets in a tiff with a reporter, he would walk out on a debate against the Democrat nominee, putting our party in jeopardy over his own fragile ego.
