Agreed. Without Trump there to counter, Cruz stuck out like a white bean in a black cats ass. Neither Trump, nor Cruz, really have anything in common with the other people on that stage and while Trump and Cruz would have surely clashed, they also have strength in each other. Without Trump up there, Cruz was a lonely guy. This deal was a wash for Trump, but a loser for Cruz, as the MSM and establishment intended, and we all knew was coming.
