In general systems theory, a change in one aspect of a system has an impact on every other aspect. So now Cruz starts to mount a challenge. It would not be a surprise for Trump to suffer as sudden a collapse as his rise was sudden. Rubio may be finished after Florida. Then Cruz would get what he wants, a head-to-head fight with The Donald. Because of the Establishment attacks on Trump and his befuddlement on how to fight back with a new approach, what if Cruz surpasses him in the delegate count? The polls show Hillary losing to Cruz by 1.5 points, but Bernie wipes out Cruz by almost 10 points. Whoops, Demo Establishment. If Sanders can make a deep impact in the debates this week, the “narrative” may change quite quickly. We shall soon find out, but Cruz picking up on Trump will impact Clinton-Sanders as well, a story you won’t hear on CNN or MSNBC who are viewing the presidential race as two distinct silos that are unrelated to each other. General systems theory would challenge that type of analysis.
