Ted Cruz: 'The Establishment's Only Hope: Trump & Me in a Cage Match'

As we reported earlier today, it looked like Donald Trump and Ted Cruz might declare war on each other.

Luckily for those of us who think both men should just take aim at the establishment, Cruz has decided to stay above the fray:

The Establishment’s only hope: Trump & me in a cage match. Sorry to disappoint — @realDonaldTrump is terrific. #DealWithIt

— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) December 11, 2015

Although Cruz doesn’t have to fear a cage match with Trump, it’s wise of him to disarm before a possible battle truly starts. The real battle here isn’t between Trump and Cruz, but between them and the establishment.

Let’s hope Trump understands that too.
