Wish Rush, Hannity, Levin or some other conservative pundit would broker a truce between Cruz and Trump. If we could rebuild this coalition , we could keep establishment Rubio or whoever else GOP(e) throws at us out.

Wishful thinking probably.

Why Did Trump Drop the Cruz Attacks?(Shockwave video in the link)

________________________________________________

According to Rush, it’s because Trump listened to the EIB?

Yeah Right.

Most likely - Trump has the best political advisers money can buy. And he listened to them when they told him to move on.

You have to love Rush! If it happens any where near him he takes credit.

Trump has moved on, for today anyway.

When the wind flips his hair around, he’ll start slamming someone.

He hated Cruz, then liked him, then hated him, now he liked him. Is Trump trying to be our first bipolar president?

Thank God.

If Cruz and Trump can go back to a civil, respectful discourse, they will destroy the GOPe.

Maybe there is still hope for a Trump-Cruz team. They would be unstoppable.

Don’t forget, tomorrow night Trump has to face Cruz in the debate. He ducked out last time and hasn’t really faced Cruz since the gloves have been off.

With due respect for the sentiment, they both want to win. Superbowls could be decided by flipping a coin, but both teams want to win. Trump has built his entire empire on being #1, and Cruz has had the ambition to run for President all his life. Neither one would be anyone’s #2, despite how cool people think that would be.

I don’t care about Trumps personality, his celebrity, or his ideology (or lack thereof), I just want to see a businessman in the White House for once. That’s something we’ve never seen in recent memory and we see the result. I also like having someone who isn’t spending Other Peoples Money to get there. No matter how pure of heart people think Cruz is, those dollars have strings attached, always have and always will.

Trump has his own polls and I bet they asked his supporters if his attacks hurt him and they said YES. simple. It’s always about the polls and his pit bull lawyers said there was no way to sue so let it go. No numbers, no lawsuit, no DT.

Rush claiming credit for Trump saying- after unfairly trashing Ted Cruz and saying he stole Iowa- Trump backing off and concentrating on NH. Doesn’t want to go there re: Cruz, any more.

Trump loses it. He can’t take anything. He is unhinged and like a baby throwing tantrums. This is something he has accused other candidates of.

But as for WHY he stopped (for the moment) doing this, well, Mark Levin roasted his hide and all but endorsed Cruz. Levin is setting the mark. Rush is in his self-created la la land. I’m not saying Rush had no effect on Trump. I’m saying nobody can compare to Levin’s roast of the Donald. He also roasted Rubio and Carson, yes, even the good doctor. All of that benefited only Ted Cruz.

Just sayin’...

It’s real simple. Some Trump adviser told him Rubio is the one rising and threatening to derail him in NH, and it would not help Trump to keep attacking Cruz.

Many moons ago I moved on from RINO Rush.

Good to see his mask fall off and people are seeing the fraud and establishment puppet.

Shut up, Rush. You’re tiresome.

I’d like to think he knocked it off because he reads un here on FR, and we told him how presidential he looks in his speech in Iowa after the voting.

Maybe both Trump and cruised realize they need to eliminate the establishment GOP candidates before they eliminate each other. If either Cruz or Trump drops out then the GOP will take the victor down. If both can run long enough and freeze the others out the GOP leadership will not know who to attack and stay frozen.

I haven’t followed every part of this story, but has Cruz begin to back off on any of his anti-Trump rhetoric and ads yet, or is Trump the only one who’s apparently backing away?

TRUMP accomplished his mission. He got the universe to watch Cruz.

Going forward, the voters and the media will be watching for Cruz. He has no more room for unforced errors.

Twitter on the night after the caucus, was abuzz, saying of Cruz—

“Watch your ballot, watch your back, and if his lips are moving, you know he’s lying.”

Exactly the results TRUMP rightfully set in motion. (Besides putting Cruz on defense, obviously.)

But there's no reason to start excommunicating people either from the party or from the movement, people who you know are conservative but may be wrong on an issue here or issue there. Fine, disagree with 'em all you want. Defeat them all you want. But this excommunication stuff, and banishing them? I had enough of it yesterday. It's destructive.

Rush is no fan of the zot?
