Trump only defends himself when attacked.

Cruz never had any issues until he began to attack Trump. That was his biggest mistake.

Rubio right now is not attacking Trump.

BS, Cruz was beating Trump in the polls in Iowa so Trump started the birther ineligible crap to counter it, which failed there. That was after months earlier he said his lawyers looked into it and said it was absolutely NOT an issue,

Cruz defended himself and Trump called it an attack.

Trump was even forced to admit it :

When Trump was asked why he was raising the citizenship question now, after many months of campaigning, Trump was blunt, saying it's because now Cruz is “doing a little bit better,” Trump said. “I didn't care before.”

Cruz turns tables on Trump with citizenship question (Cooper Allen, USA TODAY 15, 2016)

He attacked Cruz because it was a convenient time.

Trump doesn’t do defence. It all offence.

It’s working for him. For now.

Trump only defends himself when attacked. Well, sure. I mean, it's impossible for anyone to defend themselves if they're not being attacked.

Of course, Trump has initiated a bunch of attacks, but that's a different story.

It’s funny using ones own words and records are considered an attack.

You don’t need to attack when you are the front runner

He didn't attack Trump. By virtue of his increasing standing in the race, Trump began to attack him, first. That was a pre-emptive strike by Trump, carefully measured to stop Cruz before he became a serious threat. It took a long time for Cruz to respond, but eventually, he had to end the bro-mance that he had crafted to avoid exactly that situation.

And he just kept going, and going, and going...Demolishing an almost assured position as Trump's V.P., in my opinion...

Are you kidding me? It’s an election. It’s the primaries. If you don’t attack your opponent and point out their differences from your policies and who they are, then you aren’t doing it right. And to think Cruz shouldn’t attack Trump, because he’s Trump and he’s either above that, or that he’ll bully them into submission, shows exactly WHO Trump is.

And it shows who his supporters are, if they are for this. Astounding.
