Subject: I think we should feed the Cruz / Trump fire - draft response. weigh in quickly please
Subject Line: Cruz in December: @realDonaldTrump is terrific. #DealWithIt
Body: Ted Cruz is as disingenuous as they come. Back in December, when Cruz thought he could help his own poll numbers by clinging to Donald Trump like a baby koala, he tweeted this:
@tedcruzhttps://twitter.com/tedcruz The Establishment's only hope: Trump & me in a cage match. Sorry to disappoint -- @realDonaldTrumphttps://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/ is terrific. #DealWithIthttps://twitter.com/search?q=%23DealWithIt
Now that Dangerous Donald has beaten Cruz all over the map and Cruz has no path to nomination, he's decided to lash out and throw the oppo book at Trump in a last-ditch effort to save his own grand political ambitions.
But at the end of the day, Cruz still hasn't reneged on his promise to support Trump as the GOP nominee. So there you have it: Ted Cruz's criticisms of Trump have nothing to do with conviction and everything to do with what helps Ted Cruz politically.
PS - It's delightfully ironic that this press conference - which may prove to be Cruz's last as a candidate - perfectly confirmed the moniker he has received in this campaign. He really is Lyin' Ted.
