Lewandowski: Cruz campaign helped Trump win NH primary

[mencken]

Let me get this straight:

• Cruz spent seven months of his campaign angling to be the second choice for Donald Trump supporters if and when their candidate imploded.
• Cruz's campaign manager called Trump's campaign to give them a heads-up when such an implosion appeared imminent.

Either Cruz hired the biggest idiots in political strategy, or even his own campaign could not stand him. Did they really think that Kasich was going to be their biggest adversary heading in South Carolina, Nevada, and a South-heavy Super Tuesday?

Let me see if I understand: the campaigns of Trump and Cruz decided to engage in collusion because Kasich dared to threaten them in one primary state? Jeff Roe should be prosecuted for this.

Let me get this straight:

• Cruz spent seven months of his campaign angling to be the second choice for Donald Trump supporters if and when their candidate imploded.
• Cruz's campaign manager called Trump's campaign to give them a heads-up when such an implosion appeared imminent.

Either Cruz hired the biggest idiots in political strategy, or even his own campaign could not stand him. Did they really think that Kasich was going to be their biggest adversary heading in South Carolina, Nevada, and a South-heavy Super Tuesday?

For Cruz, Kasich's ideology and campaign posed a far bigger threat to him and his extremist, right-wing allies. Apparently Trump's opposition to centrism and "the establishment" was more important than morals.

I repeat my question as to how Kasich was ever going to be a viable threat in any contest up to Super Tuesday? He was a total nonfactor other than in Vermont, Massachusetts, and Virginia, but Cruz was never going to win those states anyway.
