I wouldn’t be surprised if he advised Cruz to suspend and there is more hanky panky to come. They could not have any more continuous landslides take place.
I suspect it’s not so much hanky panky as it is that he’s just hoping an asteroid will hit and wipe Trump out. Or that Trump will himself pull out for whatever reason.
The only other possibility I see is that he thinks Trump is going to get crushed in Nov and he wants to distance himself from him.
