Yes, I am aware that Cruz was asked repeatedly for interviews and declined. Fox asked and I heard Anderson Cooper say the same exact thing. I think Cruz will make some stink about the disproportionate coverage given to Trump (15x or whatever it was). I don’t think it’s a winning argument, but that hasn’t stopped him before. He’s lost many legal cases. It would be more about de-legitimizing the media and Trump and keeping his smug face in the news cycles about how the election was “stolen” by the media, etc. As with all facts, he’d simply never address the interviews he declined, because by Cruz logic, even if he had done them all, Trump still got more coverage. The way he’s talking now, it sounds like he’s got something up his sleeves. I just wanted to put it out there publicly in case I end up being right.
I can’t see the future, but I still say not even Cruz would pursue such a sure loser. My take, and I could certainly be wrong, is that Cruz is referring to divine consequences. He saw himself as the anointed one/king, and he is on record saying God sanctioned his run.
Think about that.
If you believe you’re the anointed king, would you then believe God ordained/led you to run only to have you go down to ignominious defeat?
Cruz likely believes he was supposed to win, and only the sinful inclinations of voters denied him. [Cruz’ father, an official spokesman for the campaign, has said this in as many words more than once.]
If you believe you were divinely ordained to be POTUS, and only the willfully sinful bent of the voters derailed you, how would you feel? Maybe you’d be magnanimous, but Cruz has exhibited a vengeful streak. He may well be expecting divine retribution on voters and others who, in his mind, rejected the divine plan.
Crazy?
You bet. But you don’t have to dig far into Rafael Sr’s bio to hit pay-dirt crazy.
And some believe the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
