I'll bet Cruz wishes he had attacked Trump months ago instead of playing it cute and

soft-balling it the way he did.
Now he's calling him the devil but a few months ago he was all Don's my man.
LOL
Suck it Teddy.
Worst political strategy in US history for the last 200 years.
You're a dumbass Ted.

1. Back then, people thought Cruz was running for the VP slot and didn't have a chance.

I think Cruz, surprised that he got this far, suffered a serious case of hubris.

You can't out asshole an asshole, everyone else has tried, but no one is going to beat Trump that way.

Honestly, it is why he ended up second, not that is great, but in this primary everyone was gong to lose to Trump.

But is it way too late. He thought he was being clever before with the sarcasm and put downs. Doesn't work with that crowd. Gotta hit them over the head with a 2 x 4.
What a timid bunch those candidates were.
