Inconsistencies between his narrative and his past came out too early.
Cruz was never vetted early on. He rode up behind Trump’s wings and Trump never touched him until it was late in the game.
Trump is far from stupid. LOL
Another thing is that Cruz has been marketed as above perfect.
People on our side need to cut that out.
Nobody is perfect and the higher on the pedestal the candidate sits, the farther the fall.
How many Cruz supporters said they may change their mind?

Fortunately, there are no such inconsistencies in Trump’s case.
Once Cruz got a little lead in Iowa, Trump took him head on and Cruz wilted.
Trump had several points of attack, from Canada to bank money to Ted’s unlikeability. Then Trump pulled out the big cannon - Palin endorsement.
Cruz bumbled through “New York values”, “ I forgot my financial filings and health insurance”, and the unstable Beck endorsement to supposedly counter Palin. It was a weak and wretched answer to Trump.
Better Cruz was vetted and found wanting now than in the general.
