Wonder if Cruz is second-guessing his sucking-up of Trump in the summer?
Cruz has to be regretting his decision to break out. Trump would have made him the VP, he said so. Then Trump’s lawyers would have put the citizenship thing to bed asap.
He should be second guessing his attack that was a bridge too far in the debate. Stick to the issues, don’t get into a pi—ing match on “NY values” on the stage on live TV in front of a national audience that do not really know you that well, but they all know Donald Trump. It would’ve worked in Iowa on a stump speech, but not there. Trump is 25 years his senior and has battled with “killers” (Trump’s words) in high finance and cut throat business his entire life. Cruz has battled with Mitch McConnell. Totally different league and it showed. Cruz had the momentum and was smacked like a gnat because he went for a kill shot that backfired. There’s time for him to recover, but he and his team need to regroup quickly. If he prevails in Iowa and can get traction, he may have a shot at prolonging it and making it more contested. If he loses, it’s probably game over.
