Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) warned that the Republican presidential candidates who are slamming Donald Trump do so at their political peril, Politico reports.
Said Cruz: “I would … note that an awful lot of Republicans, including other Republican candidates, have gone out of their way to smack Donald Trump with a stick. Now I think that’s just foolish.”
Asked why, Cruz paused and then replied: “Donald Trump had a rally in Phoenix, Ariz. to which between 10 and 20 thousand people came out. When you attack and vilify the people at that rally as crazies, it does nothing to help Republicans win in 2016. I’d like every single person at that rally to show up and vote in 2016, knock on doors with energy and passion, and turn this country around.”
