It hasn't backfired on Trump yet. And he has yet to prove even a single one of his dastardly attacks on Cruz.
Further Cruz is exactly right. Bob Dole is the GOPe. He attacked Reagan when Reagan was running for president using exactly the same language he is using against Ted Cruz. The result? Reagan won an unprecedented 49 states.
For reasons it’s pointless to go into, I don’t see Cruz as the next Reagan. Some of you do. So be it.
Dole has been a waste of time for decades in Washington, but I think Ted has gone round the bend trying to equate Trump as being like Dole.
Ted is the sitting Senator. Trump just entered politics.
