Ted Cruz, apparently unconcerned about salvaging his one-time bromance with Donald Trump, even for the sake of winning over his supporters, is pushing hard against the Republican frontrunner and the base of support that propelled him to the top of pack.

“Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice.

Cruz said that more informed Republicans are voting for him. "When voters’ get more engaged and they get more informed. When they inform themselves, they realize his record. He’s what they’re angry at. He is the corruption, and if you want someone to stand up to Washington, the only one who has been doing so in this race is me”:
