So at 1:22 when he says “...but in a campaign, responsibility starts at the top. Any candidate is responsible for the culture of the campaign. And when you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively promotes violence, when you have a campaign that is facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this type of discord.”
Who was he talking about there? Particularly with the last comment who could only be referring to one candidate.
You have to understand the reason Cruz completely threw Trump under the bus is he not campaigning for the conservative vote any longer. He’s looking completely at the “anti-Trump” GOP voters. Yesterday was the low-info insult, today the Chicago stuff and tomorrow it will be something else.
The man is a greasy career politician looking out for #1. It couldn’t be more clear.
Possibly
Sad sad
And I loved the guy once
His 10 dollar bill thing threw me too way back admittedly
The funny thing is, I kept wondering what the way a goodly number of Cruz supporters made their arguments (calling Trump voters stupid) meant about Cruz. (Yes, there are some annoying Trump supporters too, but Cruz seems to have the far larger number relative to the number of his supporters.) Surely, when you are decidedly in the minority, and need to convince a good chunk of the majority to come over to your side, calling the majority dumb is not wise!
Now (yesterday) Cruz does basically the same thing. And he sort of repeats it with this statement tonight: As if Trump supporters cannot think for themselves, are easily stirred to violence, and so on.
What would really be hilarious, if all this was not so serious, is that if Trump even hints at flexibility or softening a position, the Cruzers go wild. And in reality, there is some truth to that: Cruz is the (Pub) candidate who most sounds like a harsh, rigid ideologue. I like most of his positions on issues, but on a personal level, particularly when I hear him on radio, I can’t imagine most voters as thinking he’s a likeable person.
