I have no basis for this other then hunch. I suspect slightly Trump and Cruz are doing a covert tag team to divide and conquer the enemy. It sure would explain some wierdness . THe game being they go after each other and do stupid but intentional blunders to level the polls out so they are roughly even. This way they suck all the attention . When Trump ditched Fox, that let Ted step up. Ted then mentions Donald first thing and immediatley sucks the other candidates thunder. Just a crazy hunch but that explains the birther attacks and Dons healthcare remarks. THey adjust until they are even roughly. The media and establishment are distracted between the two which one they hate more all the while one will get thru.
It’s not as crazy a theory as it might sound. Some of Trump’s attacks were so bizarre sounding that that would explain it. “Nobody likes him.” Really?
Maybe there’s something to that.

Certainly Cruz donors - especially the big money, would not be ok with their riches being spent for anything other than Ted Cruz pursuing his singular desire to be president.
If in the near future, depending on primary outcomes, Cruz and Trump come to an understanding, that will be good for us, and bad for the GOPe. But insinuating that there's a plan for a pre-destined outcome is something the Dems would do.
