His campaign has known the rules all along, and known they were rigged, so once again, he sheds sunlight on the mold.
In the end, Trump is benefitting far far far more than Cruz in/from Colorado.
Keep watching - it's a common theme with Trump -> it's not so much that you have to out-argue your opponent. If your opponent is Corrupt (both Cruz and the Establishment (currently making babies together - gross!)) ... you don't argue against them - you just expose them to sunlight. It's how you get rid of mold.
Trump has done this over and over and over and over and over and over. Check yourself next time you call him incompetent. Always you say he is down, losing, incompetent ... yet always he is beating those who have been at the game their entire lives.
What do you think explains this phenomenon? Are we all - all of his supporters dumb, in a cult, in a bubble? We're not, so at some point you're going to have to admit you misread him and Cruz. Why not take that step now? Admitting one was mistaken is a sign of maturity, not flip flopping - so long as you do it in service of the truth rather than simple personal gain. Cruz had me going for a while too - never for pres - but for vice or atty gnl or something else - stand in the background a little for 8 years. But for me, even that is pretty much a 1 in 10 at this point, unless I see a radical change in him, some version of implicit or explicit penance and amends to those he's fooled and strung along - including you.
Trump is a cult of personality. He NEVER admits he loses. He always says he was cheated. That is childish.
He is profoundly anti conservative
In 2008 he said Hillary would make a good president
Cruz is a good honest conservative candidate
He has fought for and delivered conservative results. Trump has not.
True. Cruz followers continue to argue idiosyncrasies in the process. Trump is exposing how corrupt the process itself is, and not just the GOP side of things. If the DNC and GOP want to remain relevant at all, they will both have to retool from top to bottom.
