The way I know Cruz is feeling the pain is this morning he and his supporters are trying desperately to backtrack his Friday comments
What I find funny is that if Trump hadn’t entered the race, nearly every one of his supporters in here would be diehard supporters of Cruz. Back in the real world, most Trump supporters will easily accept Cruz because most Trump supporters, like most voters generally, pay very little attention to politics for all but about a month every four years.
We tend to project in here. The vast majority of voters are just that, voters, not diehard supporters. They’ll just choose between the candidates on the ballot and go on with their lives.
So, no, most of Cruz’s supporters aren’t desperately trying to backtrack his Friday comments, nor are most Trump supporters the least bit concerned about what Cruz said. They couldn’t care less. In fact, most voters in both groups will vote for either candidate in the end. Now, that might not go for those in here (I, for example, will never cast a vote for Donald Trump) but it’s true of the vast majority of Trump/Cruz voters.
For those of you who are “done with Rush” for whatever reason, all he does is point stuff out, like I just did above, but without tipping his hand as to his personal choice because he realizes that a certain percentage of his audience only wants to listen to those they agree with, whether that be Kasich, Rubio, Cruz, Trump, Sanders, or Clinton.
