Wishful thinking.
If I were Cruz... Sat night at the debates... I would just laugh at Trump. I’d call him Trumpy and ask him if he was going to debate or just do more tweeting? I’d belittle the moron. Of course that’s why I’m not running for president. But I would have more fun with Trumpy. I’d make fun of his hair. I’d make fun of the way he says CHIna. I’d just belittle him. It would be my goal to make him blow a head gasket, and I guarantee you I could get him to do it :)
