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.
Not directly confronting is one thing, holding hands with socialists is another. He permanently tarnished his reputation by lying down with dogs.
So what do you think is the end game to his supposed clever ploy? Trump will allow him to stay Senator for two more years?
Trump will NEVER endorse Cruz, put him on the ticket, or give him any position.
You think in two years, Cruz will get a job at Trump's organization? Keep dreaming.
