I think Rubio was the plant to split Concervatives and diminish Cruz votes.
I think Paul was there to split some of the libertarian votes from Cruz.
I think Carson was there to split evangelicals
The party wanted Jeb.
Trump through a monkey wrench into everyone’s plans. No one thought his campaign would work - even trump I suspect. Cruz definitely didn’t plan for it. Without trump the southern strategy would have worked to stop Rubio/Jeb.
Cruz wasn’t a plant.
Nah. Same thing happens every year. 5 guys all claim to be the true conservative candidate.
