I would find this amusing, if it weren´t for the fact that one of them could become President.

Ah, standard Rovian tactic of knocking down your foe’s strength. If you take out the usual Rovian cheating and dishonesty, it’s the right tactic.

Always love me a little liar on liar action.
I think that Cruz is more dangerous than Trump.

That appears to be the general consensus when appraising the two.
Just another way, saying “The Lesser of Two Dangers” instead of the more commonly seen “The Lesser of Two Evils” in similar situations. Does the latter also apply here? I mean, we’ve read a lot about electing the lesser of 2 evils for decades now in every presidential election. Why not here?
Cruz: …This is fraud, Trump loves foreigners so much that he marries them and makes them a citizen. He is from New York, the Santorum hole of US. Please… vote for me.

The Trump ad labels Cruz as “pro-immigration” and asks, "What is he talking about?"
“What is he talking about” – I love it!
Couldn’t happen to an assholier asshole.
I am so happy that Trump and Cruz are discussing substantive issues in such a fact-based civil way with the interests of ordinary America foremost in their minds.
Thinking about it, I think for the Republican establishment, if it has to lose, it’s better to lose with Trump than with Cruz. Trump really isn’t a Republican, but rather some outside rich guy who has decided to run for President and whose agenda is better aligned with the Republicans than with the Democrats. A fellow traveler, not a true believer. Cruz, however, has been a Republican office holder for almost four years, so he’s harder to explain away to voters as not really being representative of the Republican party. Caribou Barbie’s endorsement ties Trump closer to the Teabaggers in the public mind, and letting a Teabagger candidate lose big will quench the movement for once and for all, as it has outlived its purpose for the RNC. (The RNC could have gotten this in 2012 if it decided that it couldn’t beat Obama and told the Teabaggers that it wouldn’t get in the way of Caribou Barbie being on the top of the ticket.)
Also, the Democrats are likely to put Hillary Clinton on the top of the ticket. The RNC folks aren’t that far from her in policy—I doubt Rinse Spree Bus and clowns really care a tenth as much about abortion and gays as they claim, and Clinton agrees with them on the Golden Rule (s/he who has the gold, rules)—and most of get on with her personally. They weathered eight years of her husband, they can take four-to-eight (sounds like a prison sentence when I write it like that) of her.
Can you imagine a sentence of four-to-eight of Ted Cruz for Priebus and cronies, especially when they’ve openly said what a dick he is? He’ll pick his cabinet from his cadre of fellow insufferable Republican pricks whom the Republican establishment hates. Tom Cotton, VP? Louie Gohmert, Secretary of Education? Michele Bachmann, Secretary of State? Ken Cuccinelli, Attorney General? Steve King, Secretary of Defense? That sounds bad to us, and it sounds bad to them, since the’ll have to sit there and take their asinine orders. The court system can protect us a little from their douchebaggery since they’ll obviously run afoul of the law, but it can’t do much for internal Republican party spats. Trump, however, would likely pick a few of them as cabinet members, and he might just get bored with the Presidency, letting them actually run the country. (Obviously, that’s a Less Bad Thing for everyone. It still isn’t good, obviously.)
