The raptors are testing the fences now. They want to know if they can be @#%holes and get the support of Trumps base or if they have to put in more work and convince the supporters that he or she is "our @#%hole" like Trump did. The problem with Cruz is he was already branded lyin' Ted so not an ideal test case.
P.S. Mods delete this post if somehow my self-censoring is still a bit too naughty
