Cruz Defends Not Attacking Trump Early On

Sen. Ted Cruz told WTMJ that he didn’t attack Donald Trump for many months because he didn’t want to end up as “roadkill.”

Said Cruz: “When we started, there were 17 candidates in this race. It was a wonderfully diverse, talented, dynamic, young field. It had really incredible talent. If you look at a number of the candidates that took on Donald Trump early on, they ended up as roadkill.”

He added: “Our objective was simple from the beginning, it is to win this race, to win the nomination and then beat Hillary Clinton and turn this country around. And not be roadkill. I am very strongly committed on the anti-roadkill approach.”
