I agree. Trump and Cruz could tag team us all into a Third Party. And, when Trump would become inclined to bombast toward his liberal leanings, Cruz would still be standing. A Third Party serves no purpose if it fades left right after take off.
Trump is wonderful on the stump, and I hope he can carry the conservative water on a few more issues before he dares pivot away from what works for him. Right now, he has batted a thousand for weeks, on illegal aliens. Cruz has time, it seems to me, but he’s got to get out of the 4% range with the debates. Money is attracted to a winner and what he’s got now isn’t enough.
Is Cruz going to make the debates? I think that question is what is behind his senate floor speech and his answer to the Cornyn types. This seems to be hurry up time.
I don’t think it will matter if he does or not. We are too far out for anyone but us junkies to REALLY care.
