Cruz had a chance to defend the Constitution and he played footsie with a socialist Democrat instead.

And now, the scorpion bit him.

Cruz is a Junior Senator from Texas with a whopping 4 years under his belt.

He’s got mental jiujitsu down. But how to take a 5% candidacy through that maze with the 40% Donald-Mothra destroying everything in its path? Not by direct confrontation, IMHO.

So, everyone has played their hand masterfully, in my opinion. Cruz is as strong as he could have possibly hoped, given where he was the moment Donald announced. He’s #2, ready for the fight.

Any other tactic would have had Donald eviscerate him in September, in my opinion.

Cruz has never stopped defending the Constitution. He’s just bobbed and weaved as necessary while doing so.
