What in the world does that even mean?
That means Cruz is no Trump when it comes to leadership.
An example; If, theoretically, Cruz inherited all of Trumps supporters, the last thing they would expect him to do during a debate, is to ASK permission to speak. They would expect him to just speak out, even if it was out-of-turn.
Cruz showed that he was unable to do such a simple thing.
They would begin abandoning him in droves.
