In an interview with Rita Cosby, Ted Cruz said that Donald Trump won't be the GOP nominee. He believes that he could win the nomination based on his principles and once Trump loses all of his supporters will turn to Cruz. Trump has encouraged voters to look at the candidates with a different set of criteria, who stood up to Washington? Cruz has a reputation in Washinton for standing up to his own party. All signs point to a short alliance with the winner recieving the other candidate's supporters.

I think it was a fairly thought out move for Cruz to invite Trump to the rally against the Iran deal because he is usuing Trump's magnet for media coverage to his advantafge. Although it may seem like an idea which deserves applause, it is a very risky playing field that Cruz has just gotten himself into. Since Trump is known for making his opponents look bad, Cruz, who has the reputation of not attacking members of his own party, has just called Trump out and it seems as if Cruz is purposely egging Trump. I think Cruz's blatant statement that he doesn't "believe Donald is going to be the nominee" and that he thinks Tump's supporters will go to him is like asking for a fight and he's willing to fight fire with fire. The fact he chooses now to play dirty shows he may have another plan up his sleeve.
