Still trying to figure out why Trump is viewed as the savior for stealing all of Cruzâ positions on Obamacare, Gang of 8, etc. when Cruz had them first.
***
Because Cruz was too much of a coward to make them a campaign issue. He just timidly accepted what the RNC and the media commanded of him.
And then along came Trump, and BOOM, they’re all out in the open. Trump took all the flack, all the attacks, all the heat, and Cruz was still hiding behind him, going ‘Yeah, me too!’ without actually having any skin in the game.
Cruz had the field to himself for a long time; he had the chance to make a bold stand and do what Trump did. He didn’t even try.
Trump went boom because he got in a media firestorm over equating Mexican illegal immigrants with rapists. And that’s the kind of loose, unnecessarily controversial talk that will be a much bigger issue in the general election, compiled in ads by Democrats and quickly sink his chances of winning.
