Cruz is going to lose here in SC—by a lot. He is making a major mistake going after Trump. He is hurting himself and helping Rubio and Bush. The GOPe wants to take out the “outsiders”. Trump has a much higher ceiling than Cruz. Eventually, it will come down to Trump versus the GOPe candidate. Cruz could prove critical at a brokered convention.
Getting into a cage death match with Trump will only lessen Cruz’s influence and strength. Trump is stronger than Cruz in the South.
