I've wondered about that. It wouldn't surprise me if Trump didn't make a big deal about it. I think he wants Cruz to finish second.
I've gotten a sense from various articles that Rubio is on the rise. If he finishes second, he's a very viable candidate for the establishment to rally around in NH. I don't see the establishment going for Cruz.
Ideal result for Trump would be a resounding victory with Cruz well back in second. Rubio a very distant third.
I think his response to this tomorrow will tell us how confident he is in his own GOTV and what he thinks of Cruz's chances.
PS. I'm also liking Ben Carson's number. 10%. It's enough to keep his supporters.
Your analysis is very interesting. I think you may be right about some of the things you’ve laid out.
