      .@mattklewis: (1) If Cruz had bashed Trump early, how would that have helped? (2) Cruz's anti-establishment campaign was also conservative.

      @benshapiro I think Trump *might've* been stopped early if some conservatives didn't give him cover (for personal gain) as he built steam.

          @mattklewis Unlikely. The conundrum of Trump was also that treating him fairly meant crediting him with hitting some of the right people.

          @mattklewis And I would make a distinction between media thoughtleader conservatives who went along and other candidates on that score.

          @benshapiro Let's assume buddying up to Trump had 0 impact--except for helping Cruz. Isn't it still concerning from a character standpoint?

          @mattklewis @benshapiro Cruz early support helped build narrative that only the PC media and GOP estab types thought Trump was wacko.

          @mattklewis @benshapiro "I think" and "might've". Very convincing Monday morning quarterbacking.

          @mattklewis @benshapiro Very *common* for biz & politicians to offer support for personal gain. Stop Trump early? He's been a freight train!

          @mattklewis @benshapiro "Everyone" thought Trump would crash and burn. Why alienate all of his fans? But 20/20 hindsight.

          @mattklewis @benshapiro Stop pretending every one else is responsible for Trump. No one attacked Trump. Your Rubio colors are showing.

          @mattklewis @benshapiro -Matt Lewis has nailed it. Had Marco not stumbled in the early debate he would have won early states and beat Trump.
