I really thought that Cruz had the smarts to walk that fine line.
Between Trump and Cruz, I was sure they could have come to an agreement that would’ve made everyone a winner. Trump makes a public apology to Heidi and shows he can be magnanimous. Cruz endorses Trump and builds goodwill with the base for the future. Together, they smash Clinton’s campaign.
Heck, Trump slammed Carson at some point early in the primaries. But when Carson ultimately endorsed Trump, Trump couldn’t say enough nice things about him. They worked it out!
Cruz couldn’t do that?
Trump showed his magnanimity by asking Cruz to speak at the convention.
