if Trump doesn’t let cruz speak everyone will jump on him crying “facist” for not allowing free speech...
Trump can now claim he let cruz, an adversary, speak even knowing he was not going to endorse him...
ramifications to cruz aside, this was a major win for Trump as he can say he’s willing to let all have their say, even his adversaries...
What you said reminds me of Abraham Lincoln’s strategy in bringing a team of rivals to his cabinet. NOTE: I did not say Trump was Lincoln, so spare me, please.
