Donald Trump took to Twitter this morning to elbow Ted Cruz over his mild comments reported by the NY Times:
Looks like @tedcruz is getting ready to attack. I am leading by so much he must. I hope so, he will fall like all others. Will be easy!

.@tedcruz should not make statements behind closed doors to his bosses, he should bring them out into the open – more fun that way!

Even if Cruz doesn’t say anything else about Trump’s judgement or attack him in any way, I think Trump will use this one comment to justify attacking Cruz. After all Trump likes to go on the attack, no matter what he says. He’s been relentless at times during this campaign in going after his opponents, and he’s been as nasty as any of them.
We’ll see how things shake out. Cruz clearly has a strategy as evidenced by the audio. Maybe he will go more on the attack at some point, or maybe he just wants to be the last guy standing with Trump.
