“If Trump and Cruz are drawing from the same voter base, then of course Trump hurts Cruz and sucks all of the oxygen out of his campaign.”
Cruz met with Trump a few weeks ago.
If I think my assumption of their apparent stagey of détente is correct, then what they are doing would be unprecedented in primary history and fairly darn brilliant.
Cruz is smart to not get in Trump’s crosshairs. Last thing Cruz needs is a food fight with Trump. Trump will implode and Cruz will benefit.
