Trump's dealmaking works according to strategy and that strategy changes often depending on the ebb and flow of behind-the-scenes power.

And keep in mind, a strategic "move" is not something said off the cuff, but a carefully thought out action designed to shift the balance of power in Trump's favor.

This apology or admission of guilt is such a "move."

It is an olive branch to Cruz and his supporters.

That would mean that he is thinking ahead to a possible contested convention in which he and Ted may have to join forces to defeat a move by the establishment to reject them both for a nominee of its choosing.

Just guessing but this "move" would appear--by its timing--to have been formulated with the input of "master" delegate counter and convention strategist, Paul Manafort, who Trump just hired last week.

We need to keep an eye on the Cruz team to see if and, if so, how the Cruz team responds.

As a follow-on point, it is important to note that this "apology" or admission of error signals an shift in the Trump style of campaigning much like his use of a teleprompter in his very well received speech the AIPAC conference recently.

That’s fine. I think it’s more of a look to the general than having anything to do with porkchop-head. Just my opinion, of course.

I always thought that retweet was a tempest in a teapot.
