“But Ted Cruz guys still support him and think that Donald Trump is “cracking up” because some nobody in a magazine told them so.”
Especially the American Spectator that has been reviled by conservatives for soooo long as just another GOPe rag.
The Donald is FAR from “cracking up” under the new conditions imposed on the campaign. This sort of thing is what The Donald revels in, it means his strategy of negotiation is working, and it is advancing his cause even better than the original projections. The Art of the Deal is playing out.
Take advantage of the internal struggles of your rival, those missteps and fumbles on their part shall become your source of additional strength.
You mean the way that conservatives loved Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Red State, etc., even longer than (you say) they hated American Spectator, but now strumpets revile them for questioning anything about their "leader".
