Joe, normally I'd agree with you, but I just think Trump crossed a line. I'm not saying Cruz should get up there and act like a jerk...well, we know he wouldn't do that. But gracious toward Trump, after everything? No, I'm not for it.
But that's my opinion and he doesn't listen to me, lol.
I value your opinion, but disagree.
Sure, at some more limbic level of my brain, I'd love to see Cruz come out all claws and teeth and shred that pompous SOB who slandered his way to the nomination.
BUT> For starters, the bots out there would howl that he was whining, a sore loser, couldn't take the heat, poor teddy bare, and a host of other feces thrown at the wall.
The greatest thing Cruz can do to deprive them and Trump of that whole line of argument is to be better than they are.
Move on, to focus on the future and not the past, on the Constitution, on OUR country, and what we need to do to return the Republic to good health, militarily, economically, and socially, and leave Trump out of it. No endorsement, no attack either. Focus on solving problems and by doing so give the new nominee a mark to be gauged by. I think that will be far more impressive and effective in the long run, and deprive the usual suspects of material to rant about.
If they disagree, they expose themselves for what they are, and that places them in a position of either showing their true colors or having to give at least tacit approval to the message, if not Cruz himself.
