I’m still holding out faint hope that Cruz is implementing a rope-a-dope strategy, cooked up with his meeting with Trump a few months ago. Cruz plays the GOPe puppet, soaking up establishment votes, money, endorsements, and support. At the last second, he drops out, and publicly endorses Trump, giving the establishment no time for a counter move.
But if he is doing this, he is a far better actor than anyone could have thought. My hope in this scenario, which was never strong, is fading. Cruz is probably what he appears to be.
If he is indeed doing this, he should be given a special Oscar.
Best performance by a candidate in a supporting role.
“But if he is doing this, he is a far better actor than anyone could have thought. “
If he was that good an actor, his attempts at humor wouldn’t fall flat every time.
