In addition, whether you like him or not, by now everyone should know that Trump is a Rottweiler. If he gets a man down, he doesn't relent.
Look what he did to Jeb Bush. To Marco Rubio. He killed them, humiliated them. Not just in this race, but pretty much politically for all time... or at least a very long time. He took the legacy of the GWB Presidency and reduced it to rubble in one explosive debate exchange.
I'm not a fan of Ted Cruz, but I'd really hate to see that happen to him, out or respect for my fellow Freepers.
He should cut a deal, preserve his dignity and his future. Because if he doesn't, Donald Trump will destroy him.
see I am 180 degrees to this position. I have a vile hatred for anyone who pulls the stunts Cruz has pulled in a "win at all costs" game. The stuff with the shaming mailers and the Chicago Trump rally B.S. has me to a point that even if Ronnie Reagan crawled out of his grave and begged me to vote for Teddy I still could not do it.
In fact my position on dealing with Ted is much akin to Conan's philosophy on "What is best in life?"
The legacy of the Bush tenure was a pile of rubble which he created all by himself and ushered in Obama. Trump had nothing to do w/it.
Putting Neil Bush on his campaign staff was irrational. Not recognizing how us voting fodder feel about the CO delegate vote theft is arrogant and misguided. Dropping NY campaigning and letting his percent of votes sink so low was real bad political strategy.
How does Cruz rehabilitate himself? First, he has to get out of the Bushes. Second, in the US Senate, he has to be an effective and loyal advocate of all the changes that Trump will initiate. I wonder if he's too far off the deep end to do that.
